Replacing the Lamp and the Filters
When the lamp reaches the end of its life, the LAMP indicator in the cabinet will blink red and the message “THE LAMP HAS
REACHED THE END OF ITS USABLE LIFE. PLEASE REPLACE THE LAMP AND FILTER. USE THE SPECIFIED LAMP FOR SAFETY AND
PERFORMANCE.” will appear (*). Even though the lamp may still be working, replace the lamp to maintain the optimal projector
performance. After replacing the lamp, be sure to clear the lamp hour meter. (

CAUTION
• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off and then
disconnect the power cord. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling.
• Use the specified lamp for safety and performance.
• DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except one lamp cover screw and two lamp housing screws. You could receive an electric
shock.
• Do not break the glass on the lamp housing.
Keep finger prints off the glass surface on the lamp housing. Leaving finger prints on the glass surface might cause an un-
wanted shadow and poor picture quality.
• The projector will turn off and go into standby mode when you continue to use the projector for another 100 hours after the
lamp has reached the end of its life. If this happens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you continue to use the lamp after the
lamp reaches the end of its life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not
touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this happens, contact your Ricoh dealer for lamp replacement.
