DT00531  lamp replacement and time  

To replace the DT00531 lamp, check the model number of the replacement lamp (sold separately) and

contact your local dealer.

If the projector is mounted on the ceiling, or if the lamp has broken, ask your dealer to replace the

lamp. Lamp replacement is hazardous and should not be attempted by the user.

Before replacing the lamp, make sure the power switch is off and the power cable is not plugged in,

then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently. Handling the lamp while hot can cause

burns, as well as damaging the lamp.

The LCD projector uses a glass DT00531 lamp bulb. It is a mercury lamp with high

internal pressure. High-pressure mercury DT00531 lamps can break with a loud

bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, or through wear over time. Each lamp has a

different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In

addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing,

and for gas containing mercury to escape from the projector’s vent holes.

• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from above. This is

dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will fall out when the cover is

opened. In addition, working in high places is dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have

the lamp replaced even if the bulb is not broken
