• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn the projector off and disconnect the
power cord before changing the lamp.
• To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes
before replacing the lamp.
• To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to internal components, use caution
when removing lamp glass that has shattered into sharp pieces.
• To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and/or compromising image quality by touching
the lens, do not touch the empty lamp compartment when the lamp is removed.
• To assure optimal performance from the projector, it is recommended that you purchase
the InFocus projector lamp for lamp replacement.
• If lamp replacement is performed while the projector is suspended upside-down from the
ceiling, make sure that no one is underneath the lamp socket to avoid any possible injury
or damage to the human eyes caused by fractured lamp.
1. Turn the power off and disconnect the projector from the wall socket. If the
lamp is hot, avoid burns by waiting for approximately 45 minutes until the lamp
has cooled.

counterclockwise until the lamp cover
loosens.

projector.
