5. Maintenance and Troubleshooting

The lamp should be replaced when it reaches the end of its life (typically 2000 hours), or sooner if a noticeable degradation in brightness occurs. Contact your Runco dealer to obtain a replacement lamp.

1.Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. Allow the projector to cool down for approximately 45 minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement.

2.Loosen the four rear Lamp Cover screws and remove the cover.

3.Remove the two lamp assembly mounting screws.

4.Grasp the lamp assembly handle and pull gently, removing the lamp module from the projector housing.

5.Install the new lamp module.

6.Replace the lamp cover and re-tighten all screws.

7.Reset the Lamp Hour counter. To do this, select Service from the Main Menu, then Display Device, then Installation. Use the cursor buttons to highlight Reset under “Lamp Hours” and press ENTER.
