Stand the projector on its back panel with the lens pointing upward. Warning: Let the lamp cool before replacing it.

Replacing the Lamp The projection lamp typically lasts for about 1500 hours of use. It is time to replace the lamp when: ❏ The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate. ❏ The Error light on top of the projector is flashing red in 1-second intervals. ❏ The LAMP REPLACE message appears on the screen when the projector lamp comes on (after about 1500 hours of use). To maintain projector brightness and image quality, replace the lamp as soon as possible after you see the message. Note: To view the number of hours your lamp has been used, check the About menu. Request replacement lamp part number V13H010L16. Follow these steps to replace the lamp: 1. Turn off the projector, let it cool down, and unplug the power cord. 2.
