Maintenance
n Lamp unit
The lamp unit is a consumable component. You can check the total usage time using Lamp runtime in the Information
menu.
It is recommended to ask an authorized engineer to replace the lamp unit. Contact your dealer.
Consult your dealer to purchase a replacement lamp unit.
CAUTION:
n Do not replace the lamp unit when it is hot. (Wait at least 1 hour after use.)
The inside of the cover can become very hot, take care to avoid burn injuries.
n Notes on the replacement of the lamp unit
• The luminous source of the lamp is made of glass and may burst if you hit
it against a hard surface or drop it.
Please handle with care.
• A Phillips screwdriver is required for replacement of the lamp unit.
• When replacing the lamp unit, be sure to hold it by the handle.
• When replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating, there is a
possibility that the lamp may be broken. If replacing the lamp of a projec-
tor which has been installed on the ceiling, you should always assume
that the lamp is broken, and you should stand to the side of the lamp
cover, not underneath it. Remove the lamp cover gently. Small pieces of
glass may fall out when the lamp cover is opened. If pieces of glass get
into your eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.
• The lamp contains mercury. Consult your local municipality or your dealer
about correct disposal of used lamp units.
n When to replace the lamp unit
The lamp unit is a consumable component. Brightness decreases according to duration of usage, so periodical
replacement of the lamp unit is necessary. When the projection lamp of the projector reaches its end of life, the
lamp replacement icon appears on the screen and <LAMP> indicator lights yellow. Replace the lamp with a new
one promptly.

The message is displayed for 4 seconds. If you
press any button within the 4 seconds, the message
disappears. Lights in yellow (even in stand-
by mode).

If the power is turned on without replacing the lamp,
the power automatically turns off after approximately
ten minutes to prevent the malfunction of the projector.

2 700 hours of use is a rough guideline, but is not a guarantee. The lamp runtime differs depending on the setting
of "Lamp power" menu.
