Allow it to cool down for 30 minutes before changing lamp!
CAUTION! CUT HAZARD. If the bulb is broken, use caution while removing the
bulb assembly to avoid injury.
CAUTION! PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Do not expose to rain or moisture. Do

Protecting Your Projector
Do:

Connect projector’s cables before turning the projector ON.
Allow the projector to complete its cooling cycle after turning the Power OFF (refer

CAUTION: Unplugging the projector while the fan is running reduces lamp life.
Turn off and unplug the projector before cleaning.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the projector’s housing.

Disconnect the power plug from AC outlet if the projector isn’t being used for an
extended period of time.
Allow the projector to cool-down for at least 30 minutes before changing the lamp.
Follow instructions provided with replacement lamp or in this manual.
Lamp failure may produce a loud popping sound. This is normal and should not
cause concern. The projector will not turn back on until the lamp module has been
replaced.
Reset the “Lamp Hour” monitor from the On Screen Display “Management” menu
tab after replacing the lamp module (refer to page 26).
Refer to page 39 for warranty and support information.
