Replacing the Lamp
Important!
z The lamp originally installed in this projector is model SP-LAMP-035, which is
intended for tabletop (non-inverted) use. Do not use this lamp in ceiling mounted
(inverted) applications. For ceiling mount (inverted) application, use lamp model SP-
LAMP-036 instead, which is specifically designed for that purpose. Use of the wrong
lamp will significantly reduce lamp life and void the lamp warranty (and if use of the
wrong lamp results in damage to the projector, it will also void the projector
warranty).
z You can order new lamps from www.infocus.com (in select areas), your retailer or
your dealer.
Caution
z During normal use, the lamp and the area around it become extremely hot. Before
replacing the lamp, turn off the projector and wait for the cool down operation
(indicated when the POWER/STANDBY indicator is flashing amber) to finish. Next,
disconnect the AC power cord from the projector, and wait for at least 60 minutes to
allow it to cool down even further.
Touching the lamp or the area around it during operation or immediately after turning
off the projector creates the risk of serious burn injury.
z Only InFocus lamps are tested and certified for use in this projector. InFocus is not
liable for the performance, safety or certification of any other lamps. The use of other
lamps may cause electrical shock and fire and violates the projector warranty and
voids all certification marks on this projector.
z See the safety instructions booklet for important safety information about ceiling
mounting this projector.
z A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the light source. A lamp that
is weakened by impact, damage, or expiration of its lamp life may explode or fail to
light if exposed to loud noise. Note that lamp life differs greatly from lamp to lamp,
and is affected by conditions under which the lamp is used.
z Never touch the glass of the lamp with your fingers. Doing so can cause the lamp to
rupture and shorten its life.
z A broken lamp can cause glass fragments to be scattered inside the lamp housing.
Gas inside of the lamp housing may also be discharged from the projector’s vent
exhaust ports. Gas inside of the lamp includes mercury, so be sure to ventilate the
area whenever the lamp breaks. Should you accidentally inhale gas fumes or should
gas fumes get into your eyes, immediately contact a physician.
z Should the lamp break, take care to avoid personal injury on the glass fragments.
Never try to replace a broken lamp on your own. Contact ASK Proxima service
(www.infocus.com) to request a replacement.
Warning
