A lamp has finite product life. Using the lamp for long
periods of time could cause the pictures darker or the color tone poor. Note
that each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon
after you start using them. Preparation of a new lamp and early replacement are
recommended.
- Turn the projector off, and unplug the power cord. Allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes.
- Prepare a new lamp.
- Loosen the screw (marked by arrow) of the lamp cover and then slide and lift the lamp cover to the side to remove it.
- Loosen the 2 screws (marked by arrow) of the lamp, and slowly pick up the lamp by the handles. Never loosen any other screws.
- Insert the new lamp, and re-tighten firmly the 2 screws of the lamp that are loosened in the previous process to lock it in place.
- While putting the interlocking parts of the lamp cover and the projector together, slide the lamp cover back in place. Then firmly fasten the screw of the lamp cover.
