Replacing the lamp

A lamp has finite product life. Using the lamp for long periods of time could cause the pictures darker or the color tone poor. Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them.

Preparation of a new lamp and early replacement are recommended. To prepare a new lamp, make contact with your dealer and tell the lamp type number.

Type number : DT01281 3


1.

Turn the projector off, and unplug the power cord. Allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes.

2.

Prepare a new lamp. If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, or if the lamp has broken, also ask the dealer to replace the lamp.

Lamp cover

In case of replacement by yourself, follow the following procedure.

3.

Loosen the screw (marked by arrow) of the lamp cover and then slide down and lift the lamp cover to remove it.

4.

Loosen the 3 screws (marked by arrow) of the lamp, and slowly pull the lamp out by the handles.

Never loosen any other screws.

Replacing the lamp (continued)

Lamp warning

HIGH VOLTAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE

WARNING ►The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with a loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time. Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In addition, if the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury and dust containing fine particles of glass to escape from the projector’s vent holes.

►About disposal of a lamp: This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put it in a trash. Dispose of it in accordance with environmental laws.

• For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org (in the US).

• For product disposal, consult your local government agency or www.eiae.org (in the US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada).

For more information, call your dealer.

Disconnect the plug from the power outlet

• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug the power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards of glass could damage the projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling, so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.

• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate the room well, and make sure not to inhale the gas or fine particles that come out from the projector's vent holes, and not to get them into your eyes or mouth.

• Before replacing the lamp, turn the projector off and unplug the power cord, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently.

Handling the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the lamp.

• Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.

• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from a ceiling. This is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will fall out when the cover is opened. In addition, working in high places is dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have the lamp replaced even if the bulb is not broken.

• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp replacing, make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.

• Use only the lamp of the specified type. Use of a lamp that does not meet the lamp specifications for this model could cause a fire, damage or shorten the life of this product.

• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens, consult your local dealer or a service representative.

• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.

• Using the lamp for long periods of time, could cause it dark, not to light up or to burst.

When the pictures appear dark, or when the color tone is poor, please replace the lamp as soon as possible. Do not use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.

Goes into standby mode



The internal clock has been reset.

Once you turn off the projector in the SAVING mode or the

AC power, the current date and time setting is reset.

Check the DATE AND TIME setting for WIRELESS SETUP or WIRED SETUP in the NETWORK menu.

Disconnect the LAN cable and check that the projector is working properly.

If this phenomenon occurs after connecting to the network, there may be a loop between two Ethernet switching hubs within the network, as explained below.

- There are two or more Ethernet switching hubs in a network.

- Two of the hubs are doubly connected by LAN cables.

- This double connection forms a loop between the two hubs.

Such a loop may have an adverse effect on the projector as well as the other network devices.

Check the network connection and remove the loop by disconnecting the LAN cables such that there is only one connecting cable between two hubs.
