Replacing the projection lamp
The Lamp Hours timer in the Projector Info menu counts the number of hours the
lamp has been in use. Twenty hours before the lamp life expires, the message
“Replace lamp” appears on the screen at startup.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
• Always use the InFocus lamp module designed for your projector model. Look
at
the 8th character of the projector’s serial number (located on the bottom of
the projector and in the Service and Support>Projector Info submenu).
• If the 8th character is a “0” (Example: BFQMyww0
nnnn) Use SP-LAMP-062
• If the 8th character is an “A” (
Example: BFQMywwAnnnn) Use SP-LAMP-
062A
• These lamps are NOT interchangeable, and are only designed to fit
into compatible products.
• Be sure to use the InFocus lamp module designed for this projector. You can
order new lamps from www.infocus.com (in select areas), your retailer or your
dealer. Only genuine InFocus lamps are tested for use in this projector. Use
of non InFocus lamps may cause electrical shock and fire, and may void the
projector warranty. InFocus is not liable for the performance, safety or
certification of any other lamps.
WARNINGS:
• The projector uses a high-pressure mer
cury glass lamp. The lamp may fail
prematurely, or it may rupture with a popping sound if jolted, scratched, or
handled while hot. The risk of lamp failure or rupture also increases as the
lamp age increases; please replace the lamp when you see the “Replace Lamp”
message.
• To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before you
replace the lamp.
• Unplug the power cord before replacing the lamp.
• Do not drop the lamp module. The glass may shatter and cause injury.
• Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp module. Fingerprints can obscure
projection sharpness and may cause the glass to shatter.
• Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely event
that the lamp ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp
module is designed to contain most of these fragments, but use caution when
removing it.
• Before replacing a ruptured lamp, clean the lamp compartment and dispose of
cleaning materials. Wash hands after lamp replacement.
• When replacing the lamp while the projector is ceiling-mounted, wear
protective eyewear to prevent eye injury.
• Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local
disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.
