Lamp Replacement Instructions

Replacing the Lamp Unit

Your TV’s source of light comes from a lamp – similar to lamps used in film or front projectors. Although this lamp is long- lasting, it may need to be replaced eventually.

When to replace the lamp

You probably need a new lamp if there’s no picture, but you still can hear the audio and the power light on the front of the TV does the following: blinks 5 times, pauses, blinks 5 times again. If the TV doesn’t turn on after 5 minutes and then the light blinks steadily for one minute, the lamp is dead. If you have any concerns, please contact us at 1-866-723-6486 or call an authorized servicer in your area.

Note: The same symptoms occur if the lamp unit isn’t seated correctly, lamp access door is ajar, or lamp power supply needs service. Make sure the lamp access door is completely closed and the lamp unit is seated correctly.

What to do

If your TV is still covered by the warranty, we will refer you to a service person who will replace the lamp for you. Call 1-866-723-6486.

If your TV’s warranty has expired, call 1-800-338-0376 to order a new lamp, and you can install it yourself using the directions that follow.

The lamp has been designed to make installation as easy as possible, but if you don’t follow the directions, there is a risk of burn injury or electric shock. If you don’t feel comfortable replacing the lamp, call 1-866-723-6486 to have a qualified technician install the new lamp unit (a fee will apply).

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS: Before you begin, make sure you read and understand all of the instructions.

If you need any clarification, call 1-866-723-6486 for help. You must follow all the instructions step by step. TTE Technology, Inc. cannot be held responsible for failure to adhere to the safety measures described herein, the safety measures on the back panel of the TV, and any other reasonable safety practices and precautions.

Note: Lamp contains a small amount of mercury which can be considered hazardous if improperly handled or disposed. Take proper precautions to ensure that the lamp does not break during handling. Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org.

You Must Wait 1 Hour Before You Replace the Lamp!

The lamp unit’s temperature can reach 200 degrees. Unplug the TV and allow the lamp to cool thoroughly (for at least 1 hour) before you remove the burnt-out lamp.

Don’t remove the lamp access door or remove the inoperative lamp unit until you have a replacement lamp (this will reduce the risk that children or pets will come into contact with the hot lamp, and will keep foreign objects and dust out of the lamp unit.)

Never allow children or pets to play with the lamp access door at any time.

Use only a genuine RCA lamp replacement unit.

There are no user serviceable parts within the lamp unit itself. Don’t attempt to repair the lamp unit – attempting to do so may cause injury, and will void your warranty.

What you’ll need to get started:

___ A flashlight

___ A flat-head screwdriver
