Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might scratch the lens. 2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion. If you don't intend to use the projector immediately, replace the lens cap. Cleaning the dust filter The dust filter catches dust and other particles in the air. If the filter becomes clogged, the projector does not cool properly and may malfunction. 1 Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. 2 Turn the projector upside down, loosen the screw on the filter, then gently pry the filter up. 3 Clean the filter using a vacuum cleaner on low power. 4 Replace the filter and tighten the screw. 33 Replacing the projection lamp The lamp hours used timer in the About menu counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. After 1980 hours, the message "Change lamp" appears on the screen at startup. When the timer reaches 2000 hours, the lamp will no longer light. You can order new lamp housings from your dealer. See "Accessories" on page 37 for information. NOTE: Use only a replacement lamp with the same type and rating as the original lamp. Lamp hours used 1 Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. 2 Wait 60 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly. 60 minutes 3 Turn the projector upside down and remove the lamp door by pushing the tab forward (toward the lens). CAUTION: Never operate the projector with the lamp door removed. This disrupts the air flow and causes the projector to overheat. 4 Loosen the three captive screws on the lamp housing. 34 WARNING: To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before you replace the lamp. WARNING: Do not drop the lamp module or touch the glass bulb! The glass may shatter and cause injury. WARNING: Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely event that the bulb ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp module is designed to contain these fragments, but use caution when removing the lamp module. 5 Carefully remove the lamp housing. Dispose of the lamp in an environmentally proper manner. 6 Install the new lamp housing and tighten the screws. 7 Replace the lamp door. 8 Plug in the power cord, press the Power button to turn the projector back on. 9 To reset the lamp hour timer, navigate to the Settings>Service menu and select Reset Lamp. Or, press the Volume + button then the Volume button. Reset Lamp 35 Cleaning the lamp housing screens In dirty or dusty environments, the dust filter screens in the lamp housing area in the LP250 can become clogged, causing high temperatures and premature lamp failure (these screens are not present on the LP240). Routine maintenance to remove dust from the screens lowers the lamp operating temperature and prolongs lamp life. To maximize lamp life you may want to clean the screen every 250 hours. 1 Remove the lamp module. 2 Examine the dust filter screens in the lamp housing area.
