Changing the Lamp
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the
Safety Instructions as described on page 6.
Replace the lamp when the message "Lamp is approaching the end of its useful
life in full power operation. Replacement suggested! www.dell.com/lamps"
appears on the screen. If this problem persists after replacing the lamp, contact
Dell™. For more information, see Contacting Dell™on page 44.
CAUTION: The lamp becomes very hot when in use. Do not attempt to replace
the lamp until the projector has been allowed to cool down for at least 30
minutes.
CAUTION: Do not touch the bulb or the lamp glass at any time. Projector
lamps are very fragile and may shatter if touched. The shattered glass pieces
are sharp and can cause injury.
CAUTION: If the lamp shatters, remove all broken pieces from the projector
and dispose or recycle according to state, local, or federal law. For more
