Care and Replacement

Before replacing the Lamp unit

Ensure the projector is switched off. Unplug all the cables from the projector. Prepare a Phillips-head screwdriver.

Contact an Authorized Service Center to purchase a replacement Lamp unit (ET-LAX100).

NOTE:

Prior to replacing the lamp unit, allow it to cool down to prevent the risk of burns, damage and other hazards. Do not attempt replacement with an unauthorized lamp unit.

When to replace the Lamp unit

The Lamp unit is consumable and the brightness decreases by duration of usage. The LAMP indicator will alert you of the replacement timing at 1 800 hours, and at 2 000 hours, the projector will be turned off. 1 800 or

2 000 hours is a rough guidance and might be shortened by the usage conditions, characteristics of the lamp unit, environmental conditions, and so on. You can check the duration of usage time using LAMP RUNTIME in the OPTION menu.
