Replacing the Projection Lamp

The projector is designed so you can easily change the projection lamp. The lamp hour counter on the status bar at the top of the menus (page 26) counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. Replace the lamp when the brightness is no longer accept- able. You can order new lamp modules from Boxlight. See “Accessories” on page 47 for information.

Follow these steps to replace the projection lamp:

1Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.

2Wait 30 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly.

3Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, remove the screw on the outside of the lamp door.

4Pull the lamp cover up and remove it.

5Loosen the two non-removable screws on the outside of the module.

WARNING: To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 30 minutes before you open the lamp module door. Never extract the lamp module while the lamp is operating.

CAUTION: Never operate the projector with the lamp cover open or removed. This disrupts the air flow and causes the projector to overheat.
