Replacing a lam p
If the screen becomes dark, the color looks unusual, or
the LAMP indicator on the front of the monitor flashes,
it is time to replace the lamp with a new one.

extremely important.
Kindly put the used lamp in the new lamp's package
and send it to the sales company whose address
appears on the new lamp's guaranty card.

for replacement. Use of other lamps may damage the monitor.

surface of the lamp remains extremely hot for at least 30
minutes after the power has been turned off.

• Do not pour water onto the removed lamp, nor put any object
inside the lamp.
• Do not put inflammable materials and metal objects inside the
