Replacing the Lamps
When a lamp reaches the end of it’s usable life, the following message is displayed. Replace the lamp.
The projection lamps should be replaced when they burn out. They should only be replaced with a
certified replacement part, contact your local dealer if unsure.
Note:
1. Lamps are positioned differently. Take care not to force the lamps when replacing.
2. Installation of both lamp modules (Lamp 1 and Lamp 2) is required to operate the projector in dual
or single lamp mode. If only a single lamp module is installed, the projector's lamp will not turn on
and will appear as a lamp failure.
3. Lamps last approximately 2000-2100 hours (2500-2600 hours in Eco mode) and the End of lamp
life message is displayed during the lamps' final 100 hours of operational life. Please replace during
2000-2100 hour.
Important:
1. The lamp contains a certain amount of mercury and should be disposed of according to local
ordinance regulations.
2. Avoid touching the glass surface of the new lamp: doing so may shorten its operation life.
Caution:
Lamp Handling Precautions
 This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and properly. Improper
handling may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.
 Lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no
guarantee of the same life for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their life in a shorter
period of time than other similar lamps.
 If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if LAMP 1 and/or LAMP 2 light up,
replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down. (Follow
carefully the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual.) Continuous use of the
lamp with LAMP 1 and/or LAMP 2 lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.
 A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours of use as its
lifetime draws to an end. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in
which the projector and lamp are being used.
If a lamp explodes, the following safety precautions should be taken:
Disconnect the projector’s AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an authorized service
station for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp. Additionally, check carefully to ensure
that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out from the
cooling air circulation holes. Any broken shards found should be cleaned up carefully. No one should
check the inside of the projector except those who are authorized trained technicians and who are
familiar with projector service. Inappropriate attempts to service the unit by anyone, especially those
who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of
broken glass.
