Maintenance
The projector needs proper maintenance. You should keep the lens clean as dust, dirt 
or spots will project on the screen and diminish image quality. If any other parts need 
replacing, contact your dealer or qualified service personnel. When cleaning any part 
of the projector, always switch off and unplug the projector first.
Warning:
Never open any of the covers on the projector. Dangerous electrical voltages inside 
the projector can cause severe injury. Do not attempt to service this product yourself. 
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Replacing the Lamp
As the projector operates over time, the brightness of the projector lamp gradually 
decreases and the lamp becomes more susceptible to breakage. We recommend 
replacing the lamp if a warning message is displayed. Do not attempt to replace the 
lamp yourself. Contact the qualified service personnel for replacement.
„The lamp becomes high temperature after turning off the projector with the 
power button. If you touch the lamp, you may scald your finger. When you 
replace the lamp, wait for at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool down.
„Do not touch the lamp glass at any time. The lamp may explode due to 
improper handling, including the touching of the lamp glass.
„Lamp lifetime may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment 
of use. There is no guarantee of the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps 
may fail or terminate their lifetime in a shorter period of time than other similar 
lamps.
„A lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of 
hours of use as its lifetime draws to an end. Risk of explosion may differ 
according to the environment or conditions in which the projector and lamp are 
being used.
„Wear protective gloves and eyeglasses when fixing or detaching the lamp.„Faster on-off-cycles will damage the lamp and reduce lamp life. Wait at least 
for 5 minutes to turn off the projector after powering on.
„Do not operate the lamp in proximity to paper, cloth, or other combustible 
material nor cover it with such materials. Otherwise it could cause a fire.
„Do not operate the lamp in an atmosphere containing an inflammable 
substance, such as thinner. Otherwise it could cause a fire or explosion.
„Thoroughly ventilate the area or the room when operating the lamp in an 
oxygen atmosphere (in the air). If ozone is inhaled, it could cause headaches, 
nausea, dizziness, etc.
„The inorganic mercury is involved in the lamp. If the lamp bursts, the mercury 
inside the lamp will go out of the projector. Leave the area immediately if the 
lamp shatters while being operated and ventilate the area for at least 30 
minutes in order to avoid the inhalation of mercury fumes. Otherwise it could be 
harmful to user’s health.
