VLT-XL8LP lamp replacing and time  

Do not replace the VLT-XL8LP lamp immediately after using the

projector because the lamp would be extremely hot and

it may cause burns.

The lamp is designed to project the image on the LCD

panels. When the lamp no longer functions, replace it

with a new one.

Caution:

• Do not remove the VLT-XL8LP lamp immediately after using

the projector. You may get burned because the

lamp is very hot after use.

• Before replacing the lamp, press the POWER

button to turn off the lamp and wait for two

minutes for the lamp and LCD panels to cool

down. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet

and wait one hour for the lamp to cool down

completely.

• Do not remove the VLT-XL8LP lamp except for replacement.

Careless handling can cause injury or fire.

• Do not touch the lamp directly. It may break and

cause injury or burn.

• Be sure not to drop the lamp lid screw into the

projector. Also be sure not to put metal or any

flammable objects inside because it may cause fire

or electric shock. If any objects should fall inside,

unplug and contact your dealer.

• Install the lamp securely to prevent failure and

fire.

• If the lamp should break, small glass fragments

may fall out through the grilles and some may

remain inside of the projector or the lamp box.

When taking the lamp box out, be sure to turn

over the projector and hold the handle of the lamp

box to avoid injury due to the glass fragments.

• If the lamp should break, never shake the lamp

box or hold it in front of your face after removing

it. The glass fragments may fall out and cause

injury to your eyes.
