Performing Routine Maintenance
This section provides the following instructions:
■“To get the projector status” on page 68
■“To clean the projector lens” on page 68
■“To replace the lamp module” on page 69
■“To replace the battery in the remote control” on page 70
To get the projector status
■Open the on-screen menu and select help > About this projector. This screen 
shows information and status for the projector.
To clean the projector lens
■To minimize the risk of damaging or scratching the lens surface, blow dust 
particles off the lens with clean, dry, deionized air.
If this method does not work, use the following method:
■Wipe the lens in a single direction with a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe back and 
forth across the lens.
If the cloth is dirty or smears the lens, wash the cloth. If the cloth is still dirty after 
washing it or the fabric is damaged, replace it.
ÄCAUTION: Cleaning requires special consideration:
■Do not spray any type of fluid or cleaner directly on the lens surface. Cleaners might 
damage the lens.
■Do not use fabric softener when washing a cleaning cloth or softener sheets when drying 
the cloth. Chemicals on the cloth might damage the surface of the lens. 
■Do not store a cleaning cloth in contact with the lens for a long time because doing so 
contaminates the lens with dye from the cloth. The cloth can be contaminated if left in the 
open air.

Maintenance
To replace the lamp module
ÅWARNING: 
■When the lamp nears its end of life, it might break. To reduce the risk of injury, be careful 
when removing the lamp cover as broken glass might be present. For a ceiling 
installation, wear goggles and gloves when removing the lamp module. If the lamp is 
broken, contact HP about repairs that might be required. 
■Wait 30 minutes before opening the lamp cover and removing the lamp module because 
the lamp assembly operates at a very high temperature. If you open the lid during 
cool-down, you increase the cool-down time because the lid safety switch disconnects 
power and turns off the fan.
1. Turn off the projector and allow it to cool for 30 minutes.
2. Open the lid 
1 on the top of the projector. 
3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the three screws 
2 holding the lamp module.
4. Lift the handle 
3 and unplug the lamp module 4 from the projector.
Ä
CAUTION: Do not touch any internal parts of the projector. You could easily damage 
delicate or precision parts.
5. Insert the new lamp module and tighten the three screws.

WARNING: The lamp contains a small amount of mercury. If the lamp breaks, adequately 
ventilate the area where the breakage occurred. Disposal of this lamp may be regulated due 
to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your 
local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance (www.eiae.org).
