Lamp Information
Warning Message
When the Lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to
replace the lamp, please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a
malfunction in the projector and in some instances the lamp may break.
For more detailed information on lamp warnings, please refer to page 35.
• The Lamp indicator light and Temperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too
hot. Turn the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or Temp
indicator still lights up after turning the power back on, please contact your dealer.
• Do not remove the lamp immediately after using the projector. You may get burned because
the lamp is very hot after use.
• Before replacing the lamp, press the POWER button to turn off the lamp and wait for two
minutes for the lamp to cool down. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and wait one
hour for the lamp to cool down completely.
• Do not remove the lamp except for replacement. Careless handling can cause injury or fire.
• Do not touch the lamp directly. It may break and cause injury or burn.
• Be sure not to drop the lamp lid screw into the projector. Also be sure not to put metal or any
flammable objects inside because it may cause fire or electric shock. If any objects should fall
inside, unplug and contact your dealer.
• Install the lamp securely to prevent failure and fire.
• 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 glass fragments may fall out and cause injury to your eyes.
• When placing the projector upside down to replace the lamp or conduct maintenance, ensure
that the projector is securely placed before working with it.
• The lamp is fragile. If it is broken, be careful not to cut yourself with glass fragments.
• Contact your dealer for a new lamp.
