ASK C80 projector
Step 1: Finding the correct ASK LAMP-026
You’ll need to purchase an authentic ASK LAMP-026 from an authorized dealer. Beware of cheaper knock-off lamps as they will damage the sensitive mechanisms in your ASK C80 projector. Although sold at discount prices, these generic “compatible” lamps have a much shorter life span due to their inferior materials and worksmanship. They are prone to explosions and contain cancer-causing materials, such as Krypton 85. Installing a knock-off lamp into your ASK C80 projector will also void your warranty.
Protect your health and keep your projector working properly — install an authentic ASK LAMP-026!

Step-by-step instructions for replacing the ASK LAMP-026
- Turn off the projector and unplug the AC cord. These projectors operate under high temperatures and there is a risk of burning if the projector has not cooled enough. Allow the ASK C80 to cool for one hour.
- The Lamp Cover for the ASK C80 is on the bottom of the projector. Gently turn it over and loosen the 3 screws holding the lamp in place.
- Grab the handle on the ASK Proxima LAMP-026 lamp cage and gently lift out the lamp. Place to one side.
-
Don’t throw this lamp into the regular garbage as it contains mercury — send it to a local recycling program where it can be disposed of properly.
- Take the new ASK Proxima LAMP-026 lamp. Avoid touching the bare bulb; the oil on your finger can leave a black mark on the lamp affecting the projected image. Place it into the projector.
- Tighten the two screws on the new ASK LAMP-026 lamp.
- Put the lid back on. Tight the screw holding the lid in place.
- Be sure to clean the filter.
- You are ready to reset the Lamptimer.
STEP 3: Resetting the Lamptimer

- Open the MAIN MENU. Press ENTER.
- Scroll down to the SERVICE menu. Press ENTER.
