Replacing the Lamp
Before you replace the lamp, let the projector cool down for at least one hour so the lamp will not be hot.
Warning: Let the lamp fully cool before replacing it to avoid injury.
You can replace the lamp while the projector is mounted on the wall or ceiling.
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
2. Allow the projector lamp to cool down for at least one hour.
Warning: If the lamp is broken, glass fragments may be loose inside the lamp chamber. Be careful
removing any broken glass to avoid injury. If the projector is mounted on the wall or ceiling, stand to
the side in case the lamp is broken.
