SP-LAMP-077 lamp replacement

Replacing the projection lamp

The Lamp Hours timer in the Projector Info menu counts the number of hours the 

lamp has been in use. Twenty hours before the SP-LAMP-077 lamp life expires, the message 

“Replace lamp” displays on the screen at startup.

• NOTE: Be sure to use the InFocus lamp module designed for this projector. 

You can order new lamps from www.infocus.com(in select areas), your 

retailer or your dealer. Only genuine InFocus SP-LAMP-077 lamps are tested for use in this 

projector.Use of non InFocus lamps may cause electrical shock and fire, and 

may void the projector warranty. InFocus is not liable for the performance, 

safety or certification of any other lamps.

WARNINGS:

• The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp may fail 

prematurely, or it may rupture with a popping sound if jolted, scratched, or 

handled while hot. The risk of lamp failure or rupture also increases as the 

lamp age increases; pleasereplace the lamp when you see the “Replace Lamp” 

message.

• To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before you 

replace the lamp.

• Do not touch or block the projector lenswith any objects asthis can damage 

the projector lens. Scratches, gouges and other lens damage are not covered by 

the product warranty. 

• Unplug the power cord before replacing the lamp.

• Do not drop the lamp module. The glass may shatter and cause injury.

• Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp module. Fingerprints can obscure 

projection sharpness and may cause the glass to shatter.

• Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely event 

that the lamp ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp 

module is designed to contain most of these fragments, but use caution when 

removing it.

cleaning materials. Wash handsafter lamp replacement.
