Appendix

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.

Note

The lamp is extremely hot right after turning off the projector. 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.
■ Do not operate the lamp in an atmosphere containing an inflammable substance, such as thinner.
■ 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, and other symptoms.
The inorganic mercury is involved in the lamp. If the lamp bursts, the mercury inside the lamp will be exposed. 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.

  1. Turn off the projector.
  2. If the projector is installed in a ceiling mount, remove it
  3. Unplug the power cord.
  4. Remove the screw in the side of the lamp cover. 1

  5. Remove the cover. 2

  6. Loosen the screws from the lamp module. 3

  7. Raise the handle, and lift out the module. 4

  8. Insert the new lamp module into the projector and tighten the screws.

  9. Replace the lamp cover and tighten the screw.

  10. Turn on the projector. If the lamp does not turn on after the warm-up period, try reinstalling the lamp.

  11. Reset the lamp hour. Refer to the "Setting > Lamp Time Reset" menu.

Troubleshooting

Refer to the symptoms and measures listed below before sending the projector for repairs. If the problem persists, contact your local reseller or service center. Please refer to "LED Indicator Messages" as well.

Start-up problems

If no lights turn on:

■ Be sure that the power cord is securely connected to the projector and the other end is plugged into an outlet with power.
■ Press the power button again.
■ Unplug the power cord and wait for a short while, then plug it in and press the power button again.

Image problems

If the searching source is displayed:

■ Press SOURCE on the projector or Source on the remote control to select an active input source.
■ Be sure the external source is turned on and connected.
For a computer connection, ensure your notebook computer's external video port is turned on. Refer to the computer manual.

If the image is out of focus:

■ While displaying the on-screen menu, adjust the focus ring. (The image size should not change; if it does, you are adjusting the zoom, not the focus.)

■ Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.

If the image is flickering or unstable for a computer connection:

■ Press MENU on the projector or Menu on the remote control, go to Signal and adjust Frequency or Tracking.

Remote control problems

If the remote control does not operate:

■ Be sure nothing is blocking the remote control receiver on the front of the projector. Use the remote control within the effective range.
■ Aim the remote control at the screen or at the front of the projector.
■ Move the remote control so it is more directly in front of the projector and not as far to the side.
