Replacing the Lamp

Projector lamps have a finite life. Replace the lamp when:

A warning message “Lamp is approaching the end of its useful life in full power

operation. Replacement suggested!” appears on the screen.

The image becomes darker and hues become weaker after a lamp has been for a long

period of time.

Refer to section titled “LED Indicator Messages” for further details.
The lamp becomes high temperature after turning off the projector with the ON/
STAND-BY button. If you touch the lamp, you may scald your finger. When you
replace the lamp, wait for at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool down.
Do not touch the lamp glass at any time. The lamp may explode due to improper
handling, including the touching of the lamp glass.
Lamp lifetime may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of
use. There is no guarantee of the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail
or terminate their lifetime in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
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.
Wear protective gloves and eyeglasses when fixing or detaching the lamp.
Faster on-off-cycles will damage the lamp and reduce lamp life. Wait at least for
7 minutes to turn off the projector after powering on.
Do not operate the lamp in proximity to paper, cloth, or other combustible material
nor cover it with such materials. Otherwise it could cause a fire.
Do not operate the lamp in an atmosphere containing an inflammable substance,
such as thinner. Otherwise it could cause a fire or explosion.
Thoroughly ventilate the area or the room when operating the lamp in an oxygen
atmosphere (in the air). If ozone is inhaled, it could cause headaches, nausea,
dizziness, etc.
The inorganic mercury is involved in the lamp. If the lamp bursts, the mercury
inside the lamp will go out of the projector. Leave the area immediately if the lamp
shatters while being operated and ventilate the area for at least 30 minutes in
order to avoid the inhalation of mercury fumes. Otherwise it could be harmful to
user’s health.
