Replacing the Lamp

The projection lamp typically lasts for about 2000 hours of use

(in High brightness mode) or 3000 hours (in Low brightness mode). It is time to replace the lamp when:

■The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.

■The warning light is flashing red at 0.5-second intervals.

■The message Lamp Replace appears on the screen when the lamp comes on. To maintain projector brightness and image quality, replace the lamp as soon as possible.

4.Turn the projector upside-down to access the lamp compartment.

5.Use the screwdriver included with the replacement lamp to slide the edge of the lamp cover towards the side of the projector. Then lift off the cover.
