Warning: Be extremely careful when removing the lamp module. Let the lamp cool before replacing it. If the lamp breaks, handle the shards carefully to avoid injury. In the unlikely event that the bulb has ruptured, small glass fragments may be present and should be removed with caution.
If your projector is mounted on the ceiling, you should unmount it before accessing the lamp compartment. This will make it easier for you to replace the lamp and minimize the chance of any small glass fragments dropping from the projector.
Follow these steps to replace the lamp:
1.Turn off the projector and wait for it to cool down (until the light stops flashing).
2.Turn off the power switch on the back of the projector and unplug the power cord.
3.Allow the projector to cool down for at least half an hour (if it has been on).
