Use an LMP-H201 Projector Lamp as the
replacement lamp.
The air filter is supplied with the LMP-H201
Projector Lamp. When you replace the lamp,
it is also time to replace the air filter.

Cautions
• The lamp remains hot after the projector is
turned off with the ?/1 (ON/STANDBY)
switch. If you touch the lamp, you may burn
your fingers. When you replace the lamp,
wait for at least 1 hour for the lamp to cool.
• Do not touch the glass surface of the
replacement lamp. If you touch it, wipe off
the fingerprints with a soft cloth.
• Pay special attention to replacing the lamp
when the projector is installed on the ceiling.
• When removing the lamp unit, make sure it
remains horizontal, then pull straight up. Do
not tilt the lamp unit. If you pull out the lamp
unit while tilted and if the lamp breaks, the
pieces may scatter, causing injury.
• When you remove the air filter, be careful
not to let any dust fall into the projector.
• Replacing the air filter is crucial to maintain
the good performance of the projector or to
prevent malfunction to it. When a warning
message for replacing the air filter appears,
replace the air filter immediately.
If "Status" is set to "All Off," the message
does not appear. (1 page 46)

pieces of the lamp may become

stable surface.
