operate safely, the LED blinks slowly for one minute and the
lamp turns off automatically.

are operating under normal conditions.

The LAMP indicator will light up if the lamp becomes too hot. Turn off the
power and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the LAMP indicator is still
red when turning the power on, please contact BOXLIGHT Technical Sup-

1. Press the POWER button to switch off the projector. Disconnect the power
cord from the outlet and the projector.
2. Loosen the screw and remove the lamp cover. If the lamp is hot, avoid burns by
waiting 45 minutes until the lamp has cooled.
3. Loosen the 3 screws. (It is strongly recommended you use a magnetic-headed
screwdriver.) Pull the handle to remove the lamp housing. If the screws are not
loosened completely, they could injure your fingers. Do not insert your hand into
the box after the lamp is removed. If you touch the optical parts inside, this could
cause color unevenness.
4. Replace the lamp with a new one. Insert it into the projector, and tighten the
screws firmly. Loose screws may cause a bad connection, which may result in
malfunction.
5. Re-install the lamp cover and tighten the screw. Do not turn on the power
with the lamp cover removed. Whenever the lamp is replaced, reset the
total lamp operation time. Do not reset if the lamp is not replaced as this
could cause breakage.
