    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  : 456-8970  
    Type number  : 456-8971
    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 with specified mounting accessories, 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 down and lift the lamp cover to remove it.
    4. Loosen the 3 screws (marked by arrow) of the lamp, and slowly pull the lamp out 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.
    NOTE  • Please reset the lamp time only when you have replaced the lamp, 
    for a suitable indication about the lamp.

    taken out.

     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 housing, 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,  damage  or 
    shorten the life of this product.
    •  If  the  lamp  breaks  soon  after  the  first  time  it  is  used,  it  is  possible 
    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 to 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
