The IR Remote Keypad uses two AA size, 1.5V batteries (preferably alkaline). To 
install new batteries:  
1) Open the battery 
compartment at the backside 
of the keypad by placing your 
thumb in the oval depression 
and sliding the cover out about 
½ inch. See Figure 4.1. 
Remove the old batteries and 
properly discard. Wait a 
minute or two.  
2) Place the new batteries in 
the compartment, orienting the 
positive/negative of each 
battery according to the labels in the compartment. When the batteries are in place, 
replace the cover by placing the cover ½ inch from its closed position and slide it into 
place. Do not force the cover.  
NOTE: Always wait a minute or two when replacing batteries so that the internal 
electronics discharge and can recognize the change. 
 
Use the following instructions when replacing the lamp. The lamp is located at the 
back of the projector (below the input panel) and can be accessed by removing the 
lamp access panel. Use only the Christie approved Lamp and Filter Kit for your 
specific projector model. See Table 4.2 below.

A lamp should be replaced when it reaches its end of life or sooner if a noticeable 
degradation in brightness occurs (typical in aging lamps). You can set the number of 
hours you expect to log with the lamp before replacing it, by setting the Lamp Limit 
in the Lamp menu. The LED’s next to the built-in keypad will flash “LP” when lamp 
time has expired. You can also enable a warning message to appear upon powering up 
the projector that will indicate the lamp has reached the limit you set, by entering a 
checkmark beside the Lamp Message option.  
NOTE: The lamp mode you choose to run the projector in may have an impact on the 
number of hours expected for the lamp. 
Tools required: #2 Phillips screwdriver  
Warnings 
 A qualified service technician must perform lamp replacement. 
 Cool the lamp completely and handle by the housing only. 
 Install the correct wattage lamp supplied by Christie (see above) and read the 
Lamp Replacement procedure in its entirety before proceeding.  
 Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp. Fingerprints left on the surface can 
lead to an intense accumulation of heat called a “hotspot”, which could 
potentially result in the lamp shattering. It is recommended you wear clean, lint-
free gloves and a face shield when working with the lamp.

1. TURN THE LAMP OFF 
Press 
 (power) to turn the lamp off. Allow the cooling fans to stop 
automatically (within approximately five minutes) before proceeding with Step 2. 
This wait period is also required to allow the lamp to sufficiently cool before 
handling. 
2. UNPLUG THE PROJECTOR 
When the cooling fans have stopped, turn the projector’s main switch off, and 
unplug. 
 WARNING  
Always power down and unplug the projector prior to 
servicing. Allow the lamps to cool before handling 
3. REMOVE THE LAMP DOOR 
 WARNING  
Protective gear required. Wear a face shield. 
 
Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, 
remove the two (2) screws securing 
the lamp door, which is located at 
the rear of the projector below the 
input panel. See Figure 4.2. 
 
4. RELEASE THE LAMP LOCK 
Pull out and turn the lamp lock lever, which is located to the left of the lamp 
module, and turn it ¼ turn counter clockwise to the “unlock” position. See Figure 
4.3.

5. REMOVE THE LAMP MODULE 
Firmly grasp the lamp by its housing only and pull it straight out (lamp slides 
along guides) until it is free. See Figure 4.4. Discard the lamp using safe 
disposal/recycling practices.
 
 
 
 
6. INSERT THE NEW LAMP MODULE 
Align the new lamp with the top and bottom guides on the left side of the lamp 
compartment (see Figure 4.5). Slide the lamp all the way in – a slightly harder 
push may be required right at the end to ensure it is fully seated into the terminal 
block.  
NOTE: The lamp module must make full contact
 with the terminal block. The 
projector will not power up again if the lamp is not fully connected to the terminal 
block.

       Figure 4.5. Insert New Lamp Module
 
 
 WARNING  
Improper installation could cause a serious 
meltdown inside the projector. 
7. LOCK IN THE NEW LAMP MODULE 
Pull out and turn the lamp lock lever (turned up in Step 4) ¼ turn clockwise to 
“lock” the lamp in place.  
 
NOTE: If you can’t turn the lamp lock into position, it is likely the lamp is not 
fully inserted. In this case, partially remove the lamp and try pushing it back in 
again. Then, try switching the lock lever to the “lock” position. 
 
8. REPLACE THE LAMP DOOR 
Replace the lamp door and secure it with the two (2) screws removed in Step 2. 
IMPORTANT: The lamp module is calibrated for maximum performance and 
brightness in this projector. Do not attempt to re-align or adjust the lamp module. 
 
9. RECORD THE SERIAL NUMBER OF THE NEW LAMP  
 Plug in the projector and power it up. 
 In the Lamp menu, select “Change Lamp”. 
 In the Lamp S/N text box, enter the serial number. 
 Press to record the number and to reset the lamp timer. The timer will now 
begin to log time for the new lamp.

IMPORTANT: If you neglect to enter a serial number, the lamp timer will not

  WARNING  
Use Christie approved 
filters ONLY. 
The two filters located at the front 
and left side of the projector should 
be replaced whenever the lamp is 
replaced. If you are working in an 
extremely dusty environment you 
may want to replace the filters sooner. 
Use the filters provided in the Christie 
approved Lamp and Filter Kit for your 
specific projector model. 
1. TURN OFF THE PROJECTOR, COOL and UNPLUG 
Before removing or installing a filter, turn off the projector and allow it to cool for 
five minutes before unplugging. 
2. REMOVE FILTER ACCESS 
PANELS 
Loosen the captive screw(s) on the filter 
access panels using a #2 Phillips 
screwdriver. (Front access panel located 
to the left of the lens – one screw. Left 
side access panel – three screws. See 
Figure 4.6.

3. REPLACE FILTERS 
Pull the old filters out of the projector and discard. Do not reuse filters. Insert the 
new filters with the wired side in. See Figure 4.7. 
 
Figure 4.9. Insert New Filters
 
 
4. REPLACE ACCESS PANELS 
Replace the two (2) filter access panels and tighten the screws loosened in step 1. 
 
A variety of lenses can accommodate different throw distances and specific types of 
installations. Refer to Section 6 - Specifications for details. To change a lens, follow 
the steps below.  
Turn off the projector, cool and unplug 
NOTE: If necessary, a lens can be swapped out while the projector is running, but 
this can result in dust being drawn into the projector. Avoid if possible.  
Before removing or installing any lens, turn off the projector and allow the fans to 
cool the lamp before unplugging the projector. Ensure that the lens cap is on. 
 WARNING   
Unplug the projector.

 Electrical connector: Line up male connector on the lens with the female 
connector on the connector slide assembly. 
 Insert lens: Align the tabs on the lens 
plate lock with the slots in the lens 
retainer ring. Push the lens in until the 
tabs touch the back of the retainer ring. 
 Rotate the lens: 
To ensure the lens is 
secured in the lens mount, turn it 
clockwise until you feel the tabs on the 
lens butting against the end stops on the 
lens mount retaining ring. To ensure the 
locking pin is properly engaged, turn the 
lens counter-clockwise. If the lens does not 
turn counter-clockwise, the locking pin is 
properly engaged. If the lens turns counter-
clockwise, the locking pin is not properly 
engaged; in this case, turn it clockwise and 
pull the lens plunger assembly out until the 
plunger assembly stops. Recheck by 
turning the lens counter-clockwise. The 
lens should not rotate.
 
 Secure stability screws 
(optional): For added stability, 
secure the adjustment screws 
provided on the lens-retaining ring 
(see Figure 4.13). If you have 
installed a large zoom lens, one or 
more of the screws may be 
inaccessible—simply tighten those 
that are accessible (Figure 4.14). 
NOTE: Recommended for heaviest lenses such as 0.73:1 and 1.2:1. 
Power Up  
Remove the lens cap and power up the projector. 
Reposition the Projector for New Lens 
Reposition the projector closer or further from the screen as necessary for the screen 
and the new lens type – refer to lens descriptions in Section 2, Section 6 and the 
Dealer Section of the Christie Website, PN 020-100298-xx. In a permanent 
installation, always use the appropriate throw distance formula to calculate the best 
position for the projector.
