Replacing the Lamp Cartridge

The lamp that is used as a light source in the projector has a limited service life. The rated service life of the lamp is about 2000 hours (when used in normal mode only). This could be shortened depending on conditions of use and other factors.

Note that lamp life will be extended when the projector is often used in Low mode. (The rated service life of the lamp means the average value of lamp life for lamps that have been manufactured over a long period, and it is derived from test conditions at this company.)

When the life of the lamp is exceeded, the STATUS indicator lights a steady red and the message [Replace the Lamp Cartridge] is displayed on the screen. When this occurs, it is time to replace the lamp cartridge. Please make the replacement following the procedure below.

If the projector is used another 100 hours after the lamp’s service life is reached, the power is set to the standby mode and no longer turns on.

Contact a store that sells the XD70U for a replacement lamp. Indicate you need a VLT-XD70LP replacement lamp for the XD70U (order code 41T-577).

CAUTION

Replacement of the lamp cartridge is performed after switching off the power, waiting for the cooling fan to stop, disconnecting the power plug from the power outlet, and then leaving the projector for about 60 minutes before replacement is started. Replacement of the lamp cartridge during operation or immediately after operation stops will cause burns because of the high temperature.

Do not remove any screws other than those specified.

Do not touch the lamp with bare hands. Doing so could shorten the life of the lamp.

If lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter. When this happens, an explosive sound can be heard and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp cartridge. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this happens, contact your dealer or the store the projector was purchased.

CAUTION

This projector uses a lamp that contains mercury.

Disposal of the lamp or the projector with the lamp may be regulated due to environmental considerations.

For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance : www.eiae.org

DATA PROJECTOR specifications

Mitsubishi Electronics has been a prominent player in the realm of projector technology, consistently providing high-quality data projectors designed to meet the demands of both professional and educational environments. Their data projectors are known for their exceptional brightness, clarity, and advanced features, making them a significant choice for presentations, meetings, and lectures.

One of the standout features of Mitsubishi data projectors is their high brightness capability. With luminous output reaching up to 5,000 ANSI lumens, these projectors ensure presentations remain clear and visible in various lighting conditions. This is especially crucial for large venues or rooms with significant ambient light. The powerful brightness is paired with high contrast ratios, delivering sharp and detailed images that bring content to life.

Mitsubishi projectors incorporate advanced LCD and DLP technologies, ensuring vibrant colors and excellent image quality. The use of 3LCD technology in some models provides a wider color gamut, resulting in more accurate color reproduction. This is beneficial for presentations that involve graphics and media, where color fidelity is essential to convey the right message.

Portability is another key characteristic of Mitsubishi data projectors. Many models are designed to be lightweight and compact, allowing for easy transportation between different venues. Features such as quick startup and shutdown times enhance usability, making it convenient for users who require quick setup and takedown during events.

In terms of connectivity, Mitsubishi projectors offer versatile options, including HDMI, VGA, and USB ports. This diverse range of inputs ensures compatibility with various devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Some models even support wireless connectivity, allowing for seamless presentations without the hassle of cables.

Mitsubishi Electronics also emphasizes user-friendly interfaces in their data projectors. Often equipped with intuitive control panels and remote controls, these projectors allow users to easily adjust settings and switch between input sources. Additionally, features like automatic keystone correction help maintain image quality by ensuring the projected output remains straight and properly aligned.

Durability and energy efficiency are further notable attributes of Mitsubishi data projectors. Many models are designed with long-lasting lamp life, reducing the need for frequent replacements, which not only saves costs but also contributes to a lower environmental impact.

In conclusion, Mitsubishi Electronics’ data projectors blend advanced technology with user-friendly features to cater to varying presentation needs. Their projectors are engineered for brightness, excellent image quality, and convenience, making them an ideal choice for anyone looking for reliable projection solutions in professional and educational settings.
