1 Replacing the Lamp
The projector has a single lamp pre-wired into the lamp
module. After the lamp has been operating for 1000 hours
(Normal mode using the standard lamp, part number 102-246),
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.
CAUTION: 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 open
the 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 plug
on 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: 102-246).
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 open
the 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 the
filter, 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 be
replaced.
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 into
the 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
