MERCURY 5000gv
1 Replacing the Lamp
The projector has two lamps pre-wired into one module,
therefore it is not possible to replace a single lamp. After lamp
1 or lamp 2 has been operating for 1000 hours (Normal mode
using the standard lamp, part number 001-742), the "Lamp"
indicator on the control panel will blink red and a warning
message will appear. Even though the lamp may still be
working, replace it as soon as possible to maintain optimal
projector performance.
CAUTION
• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It
will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off, wait 90 seconds, and
then disconnect the power cable. Allow at least 15 minutes for the
lamp to cool before handling.
• DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except the rear cover screw and the two lamp module screws. You could receive an electric shock.
• If you continue to use the lamp after 1000 hours, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp
module. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause
injury. If  this happens, contact your Digital Projection dealer for
lamp replacement.
• The projector will turn off and go into stand by mode after 1500 hours of service (Normal mode using the standard lamp - this time
is extended when using Eco mode). If this happens, the lamp must
be replaced.
• The projector contains high-precision parts, so make sure that no dust or dirt can get into the cabinet during lamp replacement. Clean
the outside of the cabinet before opening the rear cover.
To replace the lamp module:1. Loosen the rear cover fastening by turning it through 45° and openthe cover, using the support if the projector is upside down.
NOTE: There is an interlock on the rear cover to prevent the risk ofelectrical shock. Do not attempt to circumvent this interlock.
2. Squeezing the plug latch firmly, unplug the lamp control cable from the
connector at the rear of the lamp module. 4. Pull the lamp module to the right, then to the rear to remove it from\
the projector.
5. Insert a new lamp module, manoeuvreing it carefully so that the plugon the top of the module mates properly with the socket in the roof of
the cabinet.
CAUTION: Do not use a lamp other than the Digital Projectionreplacement lamp (Standard life lamp: 001-742).
6. Secure it in place with the two screws.Be sure to tighten the screws.
7. Re-connect the lamp control cable to the connector at the rear of the\
 lamp housing.
8. We recommend that you clean or change the filter, as described on the next page, whenever the lamp is changed.
9. Close the rear cover firmly, ensuring that the catch clicks shut.
NOTE: Installing a new lamp module automatically clears the lamp usage
hours, as the lamp memory chip is built-in to the module. You can check
the current lamp useage hours via the Projector Information Menu.
3. Loosen the two screws securing the lamp module until the screws go into a freewheeling condition. The two screws are not removable.

2 Replacing or Cleaning the Filter
The air-filter prevents dust or dirt from getting inside the
projector and should be cleaned after every 100 hours of
operation (more often in dusty conditions). If the filter is dirty
or clogged, your projector may overheat.
NOTE: The message "Please clean the filters" will be displayed each
time the projector is turned on after it has been used in excess of 168
hours. Should this message appear, clean the filters as a matter of
urgency.
CAUTION• Turn the projector off, wait 90 seconds, and then disconnect the
power cable, before cleaning the filter.
• Do not attempt to operate the projector without a filter.
• The projector contains high-precision parts, so make sure that no dust or dirt can get into the cabinet during filter replacement. Clean
the outside of the cabinet before opening the rear cover.
To replace or clean the filter:
1. Loosen the rear cover fastening by turning it through 45° and openthe cover, using the support if the projector is upside down.
NOTE: There is an interlock on the rear cover to prevent the risk ofelectrical shock. Do not attempt to circumvent this interlock.
2. Remove the single cross-headed screw securing the top edge of thefilter, and remove the filter.
3 Cleaning the Cabinet and the Lens
1. Turn off the projector before cleaning.
2. Clean the cabinet periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled,use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents or solvents such
as alcohol or thinner.
3. Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to scratch or mar the lens.
Filter
3. If the filter is severely clogged, or damaged, then it should bereplaced.
NOTE: Do not wash the filter with water, as this will damage the filtermembrane.
4. Clean the filter using a vacuum cleaner.
5. Install the new or cleaned filter by first locating the bottom edge i\
ntothe recess, then hinging the filter upwards. Secure the filter by
replacing the screw.
6. Close the rear cover firmly, ensuring that the catch clicks shut.
NOTE: After the filter has been changed, the message "Please clean
the filters" will continue to be displayed until the Filter Usage Meter \
has
been cleared
