Note: This product includes a lamp component that
contains mercury (Hg). Please consult your state and
local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not
put it in the trash.
9. Gently insert the new lamp. If it doesn’t fit easily,
make sure it’s facing the correct way.
Caution: Do not touch the glass portion of the lamp
assembly. Touching the glass could result in premature
lamp failure.
10. Once the lamp is fully inserted, tighten its screws.
Note: Be sure to seat the lamp fully and secure the
lamp cover. If the lamp is not properly installed or the
cover is loose, the lamp will not turn on.
11. Lower the lamp cover into place. (The top of the
cover should be flush with the surface of the
projector.) Then slide the cover closed and tighten
the screw.
12. Reset the lamp timer as described in the User’s Guide.
