Setup (Lamp Replacement)
- Power Off and Cool Down: Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. Allow the projector to cool for at least 30 minutes to prevent burns.
- Locate Lamp Compartment: Refer to your projector's specific user manual to locate the lamp compartment cover. This is typically on the top, side, or bottom of the projector.
- Remove Cover: Unscrew the screw(s) securing the lamp compartment cover and carefully remove it.
- Remove Old Lamp: Loosen the screw(s) holding the lamp module in place. Gently pull the handle on the lamp module to slide it out of the projector. Do not force it.
- Install New Lamp: Carefully insert the new BenQ OEM Projector Lamp module into the slot, ensuring it slides in smoothly and is fully seated.
- Secure Lamp: Tighten the screw(s) to secure the new lamp module.
- Replace Cover: Reattach the lamp compartment cover and tighten its screw(s).
- Reset Lamp Timer: After replacing the lamp, it is crucial to reset the lamp timer in your projector's OSD (On-Screen Display) menu. Consult your projector's manual for specific instructions on how to do this.
Operating Instructions
Once the new lamp is installed and the lamp timer is reset, your projector is ready for operation. The lamp will illuminate when the projector is powered on and initialized. The brightness and color performance will be restored to optimal factory specifications.
- Warm-up Period: Allow the projector a few minutes to warm up after turning it on for the lamp to reach full brightness and stable color output.
- Cool-down Cycle: Always allow the projector to complete its cool-down cycle after turning it off. Do not unplug the projector immediately after powering down, as this can shorten lamp life.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance can extend the life of your projector and its lamp.
- Air Filter Cleaning: Regularly clean or replace the projector's air filter to ensure proper airflow and prevent the lamp from overheating. Refer to your projector's manual for filter maintenance.
- Environmental Conditions: Operate the projector in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate ventilation. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity.
- Lamp Life: The typical lifespan of a projector lamp is measured in hours. Replace the lamp when the image becomes dim, colors appear faded, or the projector displays a lamp replacement warning.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after lamp replacement, consider the following:
- Lamp Not Lighting:
- Ensure the lamp module is fully seated and secured with its screws.
- Check that the lamp compartment cover is properly closed and secured.
- Verify the projector is receiving power and is turned on.
- Dim Image / Poor Color:
- Confirm the lamp timer was reset after installation.
- Check projector settings for brightness and color modes.
- Ensure the projector lens is clean.
- Lamp Warning Light Still On:
- This typically means the lamp timer was not reset. Follow the instructions in your projector's manual to reset it.
