Maintenance
Lamp replacement
The lamp will eventually begin to project dark or dull pictures and finally will not light up. (Lamp’s life length depends on the use condition.) In such a case, replace the lamp with new one.
CAUTION
•If you use the projector mounted on the ceiling, ask the dealer to carry out the maintenance such as cleaning or replacement of the lamp.
•When replacing, always use lamp “TLPL6” (for TLP450U, TLP451U, TLP650U, TLP651U, TLP470U, TLP471U, TLP670U, TLP671U) or “TLPL8” (for TLP650A, TLP651A) (sold separately). For detail, refer to the lamp instruction.
•If you have been using the projector, the lamp will be very hot, and may cause burn injuries. Wait for the lamp to cool (for longer than 1 hour) before replacing it.
•If the lamp should break, please handle with care to avoid injury due to broken pieces and contact your dealer for repair service.

Notes
•The projector displays the total working time at every 1,000 hours (only when plugged in and turned on; ex. “ >1000H ”, “ >2000H ”).
•The lamp should be replaced if the total working time exceeds about 2,000 hours.
•Attach the lamp cover firmly after replacing the lamp. If it is not set correctly, the power will not turn on.
•Use a new lamp when replacing it.
•The lamp is made of glass and is very fragile. Do not touch the lamp with your bare hands and do not jolt or damage it. Do not use an exhausted lamp.
