Should an indicator be in a condition other than normal or flash at a rate other than the aforementioned, disconnect the power cable and contact your store of purchase.

Note

Should the projector not project properly, see the Troubleshooting section of the User's Manual (CD-ROM Edition).

Replacing the Lamp Cartridge

• The lamp that is used as a light source in the projector has a limited service life. The rated service life of the lamp is about 2000 hours (when used in normal mode only). This could be shortened depending on conditions of use and other factors.

Note that lamp life will be extended when the projector is often used in Eco mode. (The rated service life of the lamp means the average value of lamp life for lamps that have been manufactured over a long period, and it is derived from test conditions at this company.)

• When the life of the lamp is exceeded, the STATUS indicator lights a steady red and the message [Replace the Lamp Cartridge] is displayed on the screen. When this occurs, it is time to replace the lamp cartridge. Please make the replacement following the procedure below.
• If the projector is used another 100 hours after the lamp's service life is reached, the power is set to the standby mode and no longer turns on.
• Contact a store that sells the PX5 for a replacement lamp. Indicate you need a LKPX5 replacement lamp for the PX5.

CAUTION

• Replacement of the lamp cartridge is performed after switching off the power, waiting for the cooling fan to stop, disconnecting the power plug from the power outlet, and then leaving the projector for about 60 minutes before replacement is started. Replacement of the lamp cartridge during operation or immediately after operation stops will cause burns because of the high temperature.
• Do not remove any screws other than those specified.
• Do not touch the lamp with bare hands. Doing so could shorten the life of the lamp.
• If lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter. When this happens, an explosive sound can be heard and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp cartridge. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this happens, contact your dealer or the store the projector was purchased.

Preparations:

Turning the projector upside-down on top of a soft cloth, etc., so that it does not get scratched makes it easier to replace the lamp cartridge. Turn the projector right-side up after replacing the lamp cartridge.

1 Unplug the power cable.

2 Turn the projector upside-down.

3 Remove the lamp cover.

(1) Turn the lamp cover's set screw counterclockwise and loosen until the screw turns freely. (The screw does not come off.)

(2) Open the lamp cover a little, then pull it in the direction of the arrow and remove it.

4 Remove the lamp cartridge.

(1) Fully loosen the lamp cartridge's two screws. (The screws do not come off.)

(2) Grasp the lamp cartridge's handle and pull upward to remove the lamp cartridge.

5 Mount the new lamp cartridge.

(1) Push the lamp cartridge in slowly. (Line it up with the screw holes in the projector.)

(2) Turn the lamp cartridge's two screws clockwise to tighten them.

6 Mount the lamp cover.

(1) Set the tip of the lamp cover in place, then close the lamp cover.

(2) Turn the lamp cover's screw clockwise to tighten it.

7 Reset the lamp Timer.

Connect the power cable, switch on the power, and then reset.

Select [Info.] [Lamp Timer Reset] on the menu and press the ENTER button. There is a change to the initialization verification display. Press the ENTER button again.

NOTE:

After reaching the lamp service life, if the lamp is used for more than another 100 hours, it will not be possible to switch on the power. Should this happen, while the projector is in the standby mode, simultaneously holding down the projector's SOURCE button and AUTO button for more than 5 seconds will clear the lamp timer. Checking that the STATUS indicator is out will show that the lamp timer has been cleared.

Contact a store that sells the PX5 for a replacement lamp. Indicate you need a LKPX5 replacement lamp for the PX5.
