Maintenance Replacing the Lamp The lamp used for the light source has a certain lifespan. When the lamp dims, the color balance of the picture becomes strange, or "Please replace the Lamp." appears on the screen, the lamp may be exhausted. Replace the lamp with a new one (not supplied) without delay. Tip The lifespan of the lamp used for the light source changes depending on the installation environment or use conditions. You can use the lamp longer by avoiding turning the lamp off until several minutes pass after turning the lamp on. Tools you need to get started: • Projector Lamp (Optional) VPL-VW500ES: LMP-H260 VPL-VW300ES: LMP-H230 • Standard Phillips screwdriver • Cloth (for scratch protection) Caution • The lamp remains hot after the unit is turned off with the ?/1 (ON/STANDBY) button. If you touch the lamp, you may burn your fingers. When you replace the lamp, wait for at least 1 hour for the lamp to cool. • Do not touch the surface of the lamp. If you touch it, wipe off the fingerprints with a soft cloth. • Pay special attention to replacing the lamp when the unit is installed on the ceiling. • When replacing the lamp of a unit which is on the ceiling, do not stand directly under the lamp cover. When removing the lamp door (inner cover), avoid twisting it. If the lamp explodes, fragments may cause injury. • When removing the lamp unit, make sure it remains horizontal, then pull straight up. Do not tilt the lamp unit. If you pull out the lamp unit while tilted and if the lamp breaks, the pieces may scatter, causing injury. Notes • Be sure to use a specified projector lamp for the replacement. If you use lamps other than the specified projector lamp, the unit may malfunction. • Be sure to turn off the unit and unplug the power cord before replacing the lamp, then check the ON/STANDBY indicator has already been turned off. 1 Turn off the unit and unplug the AC power cord. 2 When setting the unit on a flat surface such as a desk etc., put a cloth to prevent the surface from being scratched.
