Replacing the Lamps
Depending on the lamp model, the lamp life is affected by the installation method and frequency 
of the lamp on/off operation� It is suggested to replace the projector lamp when the lamp is used 
for approximately 1500 hours to ensure high projection quality� In the OSD Menu, the lamp 
using time can be checked from the "OSD Menu - Service". The lamp should be replaced when 
the projected image is obviously darkened� Contact your local dealer to purchase the authorized 
new lamp suitable for your projector�
Note:
•	Purchase	the	lamp	module	produced	by	Vivitek.	Using	the	lamp	that	is	not	made	by	Vivitek	may	affect	the	
performance	of	the	projector	or	damage	the	projector.
How to replace the projector lamp
1� Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord� Wait till the projector, lamp and 
peripheral devices to cool off� Then remove the lamp module for replacement�

200~300°C).	 You	might	be	burnt	if	attempting	to	replace	the	lamp	when	the	projector	is	not	cooled	off.	The	
lamp	can	be	replaced	safely	when	the	lamp	is	cooled	off.

Replacing the filter
The dirtiness and replacement interval of the filter may vary depending on the dustiness 
of the environment. It is recommended to conduct regular check of the filter to achieve the 
best projector performance�
Note:
•	 Dirty	filter	may	reduce	the	air	flowing	into	the	projector	and	the	temperature	in	the	projector	may	rise	as	a	
result.	This	may	activate	the	protection	mechanism	or	damage	the	components.
•	 Check,	clean	and	replace	the	filter	regularly.
•	 It	is	recommended	to	replace	the	filter	every	time	when	you	replace	the	lamp.
