Timing of replacing the lamp
When the Lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace the lamp, please
install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a malfunction in the projector and in some
instances the lamp may explode.
The Lamp indicator light and Temperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too hot. Turn the
power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or Temp indicator still lights up after turning the
power back on, please contact your dealer. See "Indicators" on page 47 for details.
The following Lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.
Replacing the lamp
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn the projector off and disconnect the power cord before
changing the lamp.
To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before replacing the
lamp.
To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to internal components, use caution when removing
lamp glass that has shattered into sharp pieces.
To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and/or compromising image quality by touching the lens, do not
touch the empty lamp compartment when the lamp is removed.
This lamp contains mercury. Consult your local hazardous waste regulations to dispose of this lamp in a
