•Do not turn the projector on immediately after turning it off. Turning the projector
on and off frequently may shorten the life of the lamps.
•If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has passed, the
possibility that the lamp may explode incr eases. When the lamp replacement
message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is
still working.
•Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and the way it has been used, the lamp
may become darker or stop working before the lamp warning message appears. You
should always have two spare lamp units ready in case they are needed.

How to replace the lamp

The lamp can be replaced even when the projector is suspended from a
ceiling.
Warning:
•When replacing a lamps because it has stopped illuminating, there is a possibility
that the lamp may be broken. When replacing the lamp of a projector that is
installed on the ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken, and you
should stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath it. Remove the lamp
cover gently.
•Never disassemble or remodel the lamp. If a remodeled or reassembled lamp is
installed into the projector and used, it could cause a fire, electric shock, or an
accident.
