Replacing the Lamp
Important!
z
The lamp originally installed in this projector is model SP-LAMP-035, which is
intended for tabletop (non-inverted) use. Do not use this lamp in ceiling mounted
(inverted) applications. For ceiling mount (inverted) application, use lamp model SP-
LAMP-036 instead, which is specifically designed for that purpose. Use of the wrong
lamp will significantly reduce lamp life and void the lamp warranty (and if use of the
wrong lamp results in damage to the projector, it will also void the projector
warranty).

During normal use, the lamp and the area around it become extremely hot. Before
replacing the lamp, turn off the projector and wait for the cool down operation
(indicated when the POWER/STANDBY indicator is flashing amber) to finish. Next,
disconnect the AC power cord from the projector, and wait for at least 60 minutes to
allow it to cool down even further.
Touching the lamp or the area around it during operation or immediately after turning
off the projector creates the risk of serious burn injury.
