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 to the ceiling, if necessary.

  2. Allow the projector lamp to cool down for at least one hour.
  3. Slide the lamp cover latch to the Open position and slide the lamp cover to the left.


  4. Open the lamp cover.


  5. Pull up the lock lever for the lamp you want to replace and pull the lamp straight out of the projector.
