VLT-HC3800LP lamp replacement and time  

Replacing the lamp

This projector is equipped with a VLT-HC3800LP lamp to project images. This lamp is a consumable. It may burn out or its brightness 

may decrease during use. In such cases, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible. Be sure to replace the 

lamp with a new lamp sold separately that is exclusive to this projector. Contact your dealer for purchase of the lamp

Warning:

Be careful not to drop the lamp fixing screws inside of the projector. Don’t put a metal piece or flammable object into 

the projector. Using the projector with any foreign object present inside may result in electric shock or fire. When 

you can’t remove the foreign object from the inside, contact your dealer for removal.

Be sure to install the lamp securely. When the lamp isn’t installed properly, it won’t illuminate. Improper installation 

may also result in fire.

Don’t shake the removed VLT-HC3800LP lamp or don’t lift it above your face. Your eyes may be injured by flying or falling glass 

fragments.

Don’t replace the lamp immediately after use because the lamp cover will be very hot. You may get burned. Turn off 

the power using the POWER button. After the lamp goes out, wait about 90 seconds until the intake and exhaust 

fans for cooling the lamp stop rotating. Then unplug the power cord, and wait at least one hour to allow the lamp to 

cool down enough to the touch.

Do not touch the lamp directly. It may break and cause injury or burn.
