Replacing the Lamps
When a lamp reaches the end of it’s usable life, the following message is displayed. Replace the lamp.
The projection lamps should be replaced when they burn out. They should only be replaced with a certified replacement part, contact your local dealer if unsure.
Note:
1.Lamps are positioned differently. Take care not to force the lamps when replacing.
2.Installation of both lamp modules (Lamp 1 and Lamp 2) is required to operate the projector in dual or single lamp mode. If only a single lamp module is installed, the projector's lamp will not turn on and will appear as a lamp failure.

y Lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no guar- antee of the same life for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their life in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
y If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if LAMP 1 and/or LAMP 2 light up, replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down. (Follow care- fully the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual.) Continuous use of the lamp with LAMP 1 and/or LAMP 2 lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.
y A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours of use as its lifetime draws to an end. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in which the projector and lamp are being used.
If a lamp explodes, the following safety precautions should be taken:
Disconnect the projector’s AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an authorized service station for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp. Additionally, check carefully to ensure that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out from the cool- ing air circulation holes. Any broken shards found should be cleaned up carefully. No one should check the inside of the projector except those who are authorized trained technicians and who are familiar with projector service. Inappropriate attempts to service the unit by anyone, especially those who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of broken glass.
