•If you continue to use the lamp after this period, the
possibility of the lamp breaking becomes greater. When
the lamp replacement message appears, replace the
lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still
working.
•Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and on
the way it has been used, the lamp may become darker
or stop working before the lamp warning message
appears. You should always have a spare lamp ready in
case it is needed.
•Contact your dealer for a spare lamp.
Replacing the Lamp
•If you are replacing the lamp because it has stopped
working, it is possible that the lamp is broken.
If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been
installed on a ceiling, you should always assume that
the lamp is broken and be extremely careful when
removing the lamp cover.
•Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before
removing the lamp cover. To give the lamp enough time
to cool down after turning off the power, wait for about
one hour.
