Safety Information

Setup and Installation
- Power Disconnection: Turn off and unplug the projector or equipment where the bulb will be installed.

- Access Bulb Compartment: Locate and open the bulb access panel on your projector or equipment. Refer to your equipment's specific manual for exact instructions.
- Remove Old Bulb: Carefully unlatch or unscrew the old bulb assembly. Gently pull the bulb straight out from its socket.
