Replacing the lamp
A lamp has finite product life. Using the lamp for long periods of time\
 could cause 
the pictures darker or the color tone poor. Note that each lamp has a different 
lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them\
. 
Preparation of a new lamp and early replacement are recommended. To prepare 
a new lamp, make contact with your dealer and tell the lamp type number.Type number : 1 
1.  
Turn the projector off, and unplug the power cord. 
Allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes.
2.  
Prepare a new lamp. If the projector is mounted 
on a ceiling, or if the lamp has broken, also ask 
the dealer to replace the lamp.
 
In case of replacement by yourself, follow the 
following procedure.
3.  
Loosen the screw (marked by arrow) of the lamp 
cover and then slide and lift the lamp cover to the 
side to remove it.
4.  
Loosen the 3 screws (marked by arrow) of the 
lamp, and slowly pick up the lamp by the handles. 
Never loosen any other screws.
5.  Insert the new lamp, and retighten firmly the 
3 screws of the lamp that are loosened in the 
previous process to lock it in place.
6.  While putting the interlocking parts of the lamp 
cover and the projector together, slide the lamp 
cover back in place. Then firmly fasten the screw 
of the lamp cover.
7.  Turn the projector on and reset the lamp time 
using the LAMP TIME item in the OPTION menu. 
(1) Press the MENU button to display a menu. 
(2) Point at the ADVANCED MENU in the menu using  the ▼/▲ button, then press the ► button.
(3) Point at the OPTION in the left column of the menu  using the ▼/▲button, then press the ► button.
(4) Point at the LAMP TIME using the ▼/▲ button, then press the ► button. A  dialog will appear.
(5) 
Press the ► button to select  “OK
” on the dialog. It performs resetting the lamp time.

 HIGH VOLTAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE
WARNING  ►The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The 
lamp can break with a loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, ha\
ndled 
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,\
 if the 
bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp h\
ousing, and 
for gas containing mercury and dust containing fine particles of glass\
 to escape 
from the projector’s vent holes.
►About disposal of a lamp:  This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put 
it in a trash. Dispose of it in accordance with environmental laws. 
•   For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org (in the US).
•   For product disposal, consult your local government agency  
or www.eiae.org (in the US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada).
For more information, ask your dealer.
• 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 inhale the gas or fine 
particles that come out from the projector's vent holes, and not to get \
them into your eyes or mouth.
• Before replacing the lamp, turn the projector off and unplug the power 
cord, 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 lam\
p.
• Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.
• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from 
a ceiling. 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. Use of a lamp that does not 
meet the lamp specifications for this model could cause a fire, dama\
ge or 
shorten the life of this product.
• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is poss\
ible 
that there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this 
happens, consult your local dealer or a service representative.
• 
Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to bur\
st during use.
• Using the lamp for long periods of time, could cause it dark, not t\
o light 
up or to burst. When the pictures appear dark, or when the color tone 
is poor, please replace the lamp as soon as possible. Do not use old 
(used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage. 
Disconnect 
the plug 
from the  power outlet

filter of specified type will come together with a replacement 
lamp for this projector.
1. Turn the projector off, and unplug the power cord. Allow the 
projector to sufficiently cool down.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner on and around the filter cover. 
3.  While supporting the projector with one hand, use your 
other hand to pull the filter cover forward in the direction of 
the arrow.
4. Use a vacuum cleaner for the filter vent of the projector 
and the outer side of the filter unit.
5. Take the filters out while holding the filter cover.

vacuuming up the fine meshed filter, hold it so it will not 
be sucked in. If the filters are damaged or heavily soiled, 
replace them with the new ones.

Use only the air filter of the specified type. Do not use the projec\
tor without the 
air filter or the filter cover. It could result in a fire or malfunction to the projector

►
Clean the air filter periodically. If the air filter becomes clogged by dust or the like, 
internal temperatures rise and could cause a fire, a burn or malfuncti\
on to the projector.
NOTE  • Please reset the filter time only when you have cleaned or repl\
aced 
the air filter, for a suitable indication about the air filter.
