Troubleshooting Your Projector 49
Changing the Lamp
WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the
Safety Instructions as described on page 7.
WARNING: Use an original lamp to ensure safe and optimal working
condition of your projector.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: If the lamp shatters, remove all broken pieces from the projector
and dispose or recycle according to state, local, or federal law. For more
