WARNING                                                       
                                          HIGH VOLTAGE    HIGH TEMPERATURE     HIGH PRESSURE
The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with a loud 
bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time. Note that 
each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start 
using them. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into 
the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury to escape from the projector’s vent 
holes.
About disposal of a lamp • This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put in trash. 
Dispose of in accord with environmental laws.
For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org. (in the US)
For product disposal, contact your local government agency or www.eiae.org (in the
US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada).
For more information, call your dealer.
Disconnect the 
plug from the 
power outlet
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug 
the power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement 
lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards of glass could damage the 
projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling, so please do not 
try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), 
ventilate the room well, and make sure not to breathe the gas that comes 
out of the projector vents, or get it in your eyes or mouth.
• Before replacing the lamp, make sure the power switch is off and the 
power cable is not plugged in, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp 
to cool sufficiently. Handling the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well 
as damaging the lamp.
• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from 
above. This is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards 
will fall out when the cover is opened. In addition, working in high 
places is dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have the lamp replaced 
even if the bulb is not broken.
• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp 
replacing, make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws 
could result in damage or injury.
• Use only the lamp of the specified type.
• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that 
there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens, 
contact your local dealer or a service representative.
• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to 
burst during use.
• If the indicators or a message prompts you to replace the lamp (see the 
section “Related Messages” and “Regarding the indicator Lamps”), 
replace the lamp as soon as possible. Using the lamp for long periods of 
time, or past the replacement date, could cause it to burst. Do not use old 
(used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.

Replacing The Lamp
If the indicators or a message prompts you to replace the lamp, replace the lamp as soon as 
possible.
1. Turn off the projector, and unplug the power cord. Allow the lamp bulb to cool for at 
least 45 minutes.
2. Contact your dealer to prepare a new lamp. Tell the dealer your lamp type number. If 
the projector is mounted on the ceiling, or if the lamp has broken, also ask the dealer 
to replace the lamp.
In the case of replacement by yourself,
3. After making sure that the projector has 
cooled adequately, slide the knob of a 
lamp cover lock as shown in the Figure. 
Then, one side of the lamp cover is 
raised. Pull up the lamp cover and 
remove it, as shown in the Figure.
4. Unscrew the 3 screws, and slowly pull 
out the lamp by the handle. Be careful 
not to touch the inside of the lamp case.
5. Insert the new lamp, and tighten the 3 
screws firmly to lock it in place.
6. Interlocking the 2 tabs of the lamp cover 
to the projector, put the lamp cover on 
the projector. Then push the point of the 
lamp cover to fix it, as shown in the Fig-
ure. Make sure that the lamp cover does’t 
come up.
7. Turn on the projector, and reset the lamp 
timer.
(1) While the projector running, press the 
MENU button to open the menu.
(2) Choose the “OPTION” on the menu using the 5 / 6 button, then press the button 
or ENTER button.
(3) Choose the “LAMP TIME” using the 5 / 6 button, then press and hold the RESET 
button for 3 seconds.

TURN OFF AFTER 0hr. is displayed, complete this operation within 10 minutes of 
switching power on.
memo Incorrectly resetting of the lamp timer (resetting without replacement, or 
neglect of resetting after replacement) will result in incorrect message functions.

Related Messages
When the units power is on, messages such as those shown below may be displayed. When 
any such message is displayed on the screen, please respond as described below. If the same 
message is displayed after the treatment, or if a message other than the following appears, 
please contact your dealer or service company.
memo Although these messages will be automatically disappeared around several minutes, 
it will be reappeared every time the power is turned on.

NOTE
• A lamp has a finite product life. Lamps are characterized by the fact that, after long 
hours of usage, a lamp will no longer light up, or the lamp will break or burst, etc. This 
projector is equipped with an automatic shut-down function, such that the power will 
automatically be turned off when lamp usage time has reached 2000 hours. Please be 
aware, however, that among lamp types, there are major differences in product 
lifetimes; a lamp may thus fail to light even prior to the functioning of the automatic 
shut-down function of this projector.
