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 lamp contains mercury. Consult your local hazardous waste regulations and dispose of
this lamp in the proper manner.

Step 1. Turn the power off and disconnect the projector from the wall socket.
Step 2. Turn the projector over. Then loosen the 

screws and remove the lamp cover. If the 
lamp is hot, avoid burns by waiting for 45 
minutes until the lamp has cooled.

Step 3. Loosen the screw that fixes the lamp to the 

projector. If the screw is not loosened 
completely, you could injure your 
fingers. It is strongly recommended that 
you use a magnetic-head screwdriver.

Step 4. Lift the handle so that it stands up. Use the 

handle to slowly pull the lamp out of the 
projector.

Pulling too quickly may cause the lamp to break
and scatter broken glass in the projector.

Do not place the lamp in locations where water
might splash on it, children can reach it, or near
flammable materials.

Do not insert your hands into the projector after
the lamp is removed. If you touch the optical com-
ponents inside, it could cause color unevenness and distortion of the projected images.

Step 5. Insert the new lamp. Make sure the handle is fully locked and tighten the screw 

firmly.

A Loose screw may cause a bad connection, which could result in malfunction.

Do not over tighten the screw.

Step 6. Re-install the lamp cover and tighten the 

screw. Do not turn the power on with the 
lamp cover removed. Whenever the lamp 
is replaced, reset the total lamp operation 
timer. Do not reset if the lamp is not 
replaced as this could cause damage.
