Maintaining the projector

Replacing the lamp module

As the projector operates over time, the brightness of the projector lamp gradually decreases and the lamp becomes more susceptible to breakage. You can install a new lamp at any time to bring the projector up to factory-fresh brightness. We recommend replacing the lamp if a warning message is displayed.

ÅReplacing the lamp module requires special consideration:

■To reduce the risk of injury, be careful when removing the lamp module as broken glass might be present. If the lamp is broken, contact HP about repairs that might be required due to glass fragments.

■The lamp contains a small amount of mercury. If the lamp breaks, adequately ventilate the area where the breakage occurred. Disposal of this lamp might be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance at http://www.eiae.org.

■Because the lamp assembly operates at a very high temperature, wait 30 minutes before removing the lamp module.

1.Turn off the projector and allow it to cool for 30 minutes.

2.Unplug the power cord.

3.Loosen the 3 screws 1 on the front cover and pull out the front cover until the tab 2 at the right end comes out of the projector 3.

4.Loosen the two screws 4 on the lamp module, and pull out the module 5.
