Replacing the projection lamp
The lamp hours used timer in the About menu counts the number of hours
the lamp has been in use. After 1980 hours, the message “Change lamp”
appears on the screen at startup. When the timer reaches 2000 hours, the
lamp will no longer light. You can order new lamp housings from your
dealer. See “Accessories” on page 37 for information.
NOTE: Use only a replacement lamp with the same type and rating as the
original lamp.
1
Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
2
Wait 60 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly.
3
Turn the projector upside down and remove the lamp door by pushing
the tab forward (toward the lens).
CAUTION: Never operate the projector with the lamp door removed. This
disrupts the air flow and causes the projector to overheat.
4
Loosen the three captive screws on the lamp housing.
