Replacing The Lamp Cartridge - 3M PX5 Manual De Usuario

Replacing the Lamp Cartridge

• The lamp that is used as a light source in the projector has a limited service life. The rated
service life of the lamp is about 2000 hours (when used in normal mode only). This could be
shortened depending on conditions of use and other factors.
Note that lamp life will be extended when the projector is often used in Eco mode. (The rated
service life of the lamp means the average value of lamp life for lamps that have been manu-
factured over a long period, and it is derived from test conditions at this company.)
• When the life of the lamp is exceeded, the STATUS indicator lights a steady red and the
message [Replace the Lamp Cartridge] is displayed on the screen. When this occurs, it is
time to replace the lamp cartridge. Please make the replacement following the procedure
below.
• If the projector is used another 100 hours after the lamp's service life is reached, the power
is set to the standby mode and no longer turns on.
• Contact a store that sells the
placement lamp for the PX5.
CAUTION
• Replacement of the lamp cartridge is performed after switching off the power, waiting
for the cooling fan to stop, disconnecting the power plug from the power outlet, and
then leaving the projector for about 60 minutes before replacement is started. Replace-
ment of the lamp cartridge during operation or immediately after operation stops will
cause burns because of the high temperature.
• Do not remove any screws other than those specified.
• Do not touch the lamp with bare hands. Doing so could shorten the life of the lamp.
• If lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter. When this
happens, an explosive sound can be heard and pieces of glass may be scattered in the
lamp cartridge. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this hap-
pens, contact your dealer or the store the projector was purchased.
