The lamp unit is a consumable component. See "When to replace the lamp unit" about the lifespan.
It is recommended to ask an authorized engineer to replace the lamp unit. Contact your dealer.
Consult your dealer to purchase a replacement lamp unit.  
(for PT-CW330U / PT-CX300U: ET-LAC300; for PT-CW240U: ET-LAC200)
CAUTION:
■ Do not replace the lamp unit when it is hot. (Wait at least 1 hour after use.) The inside of the cover can become very hot, take care to avoid burn inj\
uries.
 JNotes on the replacement of the lamp unit
The luminous source of the lamp is made of glass and may burst if you hi\
t it against a hard surface or drop  z
it. Please handle with care.
A Phillips screwdriver is required for replacement of the lamp unit.
 z
Be careful of hands slip when you using a screwdriver. z
When replacing the lamp unit, be sure to hold it by the base. z
When replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating, there is a \
possibility that the lamp may be  z
broken. If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed on\
 the ceiling, you should always 
assume that the lamp is broken, and you should stand to the side of the \

of used 
 z
lamp units.
Attention

Note

ct to change without notice. z
 JWhen to replace the lamp unit
The lamp unit is a consumable component. Brightness decreases according \
to duration of usage, so 
periodical replacement of the lamp unit is necessary. The estimated duration before replacement is 3 000 
hours for PT-CW330U / PT-CX300U and 3 500 hours for PT-CW240U. However, this may be shortened 
depending on individual lamp characteristics, usage conditions, and the \
installation environment. Therefore, it 
is strongly recommended that a replacement lamp unit be prepared.
When the projection lamp of the projector reaches its end of life, the w\
arning message appears on the screen. 
Replace the lamp with a new one promptly.
Model nameLamp runtime On screen:Warning Lamp message
PT-CW330U
PT-CX300U
Over 2 970 hours *
If the lamp is used over 2 970 hours, the warning message will 
appear. When any button is pressed, the message will disappear. 
PT-CW240U Over 3 470 hours * If the lamp is used over 3 470 hours, the warning message will 
appear. When any button is pressed, the message will disappear. 
Note
The lamp replace time, it is necessary to carry the following calculation. Confirm the lamp used time in the [LAMP  settings]  z
(
Æpage 43).  
For PT-CW330U / PT-CX300U  
     Lamp use time=[Lamp used time (Normal)] + [Lamp used time (Eco)] × 3 ÷ 4 
For PT-CW240U  
     Lamp use time=[Lamp used time (Normal)] + [Lamp used time (Eco)] × 3.5 ÷ 5
 The usage period of 3 000 hours / 3 500 hours is a rough estimate and is not guaranteed.
