Lamp Replacement  
Caution  
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn off the projector and dis-  
connect the power cord before changing the lamp.  
Step 1  
1. Turn off the projector. Disconnect  
the power cord from the outlet and  
the projector.  
2. Loosen the screw and remove the  
lamp cover. If the lamp is hot, avoid  
burns by waiting 45 minutes until the  
lamp has cooled.  
3. Loosen the 3 screws. (It is strongly  
recommended that you use  
a
Step 2  
magnetic-head screwdriver.) Pull the  
handle to remove the lamp housing. If  
the screws are not loosened  
completely, they could injure your  
fingers. Do not insert your hand into  
the box after the lamp is removed. If  
you touch the optical components  
inside, this could cause color  
unevenness in projected images.
