Replacing the Lamp
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn the projector off and disconnect the power
cord before changing the lamp.
• To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before
replacing the lamp.
• To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to internal components, use caution
when removing lamp glass that has shattered into sharp pieces.
• To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and/or compromising image quality by touching the
lens, do not touch the empty lamp compartment when the lamp is removed.
• This projector uses a lamp that contains mercury. Disposal of the lamp or the projector with
the lamp may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling
information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance:
www.eiae.org. (For US only).
• If the lamp should break, small glass fragments may fall out through the grilles and some
may remain inside of the projector or the lamp box. When taking the lamp box out, be sure to
turn over the projector and hold the handle of the lamp box to avoid injury due to the glass
fragments.
• If the lamp should break, never shake the lamp box or hold it in front of your face after
removing it. The lass fragments may fall out and cause injury to your eyes.
Step 1. Turn the power off and disconnect the projector from the wall socket.
Step 2. Protect the projector's surface by clearing a flat open area on your desk and placing a
soft item on the desk for padding.
Step 3. Turn the projector over. Then loosen the
screws.
Step 4. Remove the lamp cover. If the lamp is hot,
avoid burns by waiting for 45 minutes until
the lamp has cooled.
Step 5. Loosen the screw fixing the lamp to the
projector. If the screw is not loosened
completely, the lamp cannot be removed. Be
careful not to lose the screw as it is needed to
hold the replacement lamp in place. It is
strongly recommended that you use a
magnetic-head screwdriver.
