Maintenance 33
Step 1. Turn the power off and disconnect the projector from the wall socket.
Step 2. Turn the projector over. Then loosen the
screws and remove the lamp cover. If the
lamp is hot, avoid burns by waiting for
45 minutes until the lamp has cooled.
Step 3. Loosen the screw that holds the lamp to
the projector. If the screw is not loos-
ened completely, they could injure your
fingers. It is strongly recommended that
you use a magnetic-head screwdriver.
Step 4. Lift the handle so that it stands up. Use
the handle to slowly pull the lamp out of
the projector.
Pulling it too quickly may cause the lamp to break
and scatter broken glass in the projector.
Do not place the lamp in locations where water
might splash on it, children can reach it, or near
flammable materials.
Do not insert your hands into the projector after
the lamp is removed. If you touch the optical com-
ponents inside, it could cause color unevenness and distortion of the projected images.
Step 5. Insert a new lamp. Make sure the handle
is fully locked and tighten the screw
firmly.
Loose screw may cause a bad connection, which
could result in malfunction.
Do not over tighten the screw.
Step 6. Re-install the lamp cover and tighten the
screw. Do not turn the power on with
the lamp cover removed. Whenever the
lamp is replaced, reset the total lamp operation time. Do not reset if the lamp is not
replaced as this could cause damage.
Step 7. Resetting the lamp counter
i. Press and hold the Exit 5 button on the projector for 5
seconds to display the total used lamp time.
ii. Press Auto on the projector or on the remote control to
reset the lamp hour to “0”.
iii. Wait about 5 seconds to let the OSD disappear.
