1. Press the POWER button to switch 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 you use a magnetic-headed 
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 parts inside, this could 
cause color unevenness.
4. Replace the lamp with a new one. Insert it into the projector, and tighten the 
screws firmly. Loose screws may cause a bad connection, which may result in 
malfunction.
5. Re-install the lamp cover and tighten the screw. Do not turn on the power 
with the lamp cover removed. Whenever the lamp is replaced, reset the 
total lamp operation time. Do not reset if the lamp is not replaced as this 
could cause breakage.
