Timing of replacing the lamp
When the lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace the lamp,
please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a malfunction in the projector
and in some instances the lamp may explode.
The LAMP indicator light and TEMPerature indicator light will light up if the lamp becomes too hot.
Turn the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or TEMPerature indicator
light still lights up after turning the power back on, please contact your dealer. See
page 71 for details.
The following lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.
Status
The lamp has been in operation for 1500 hours. Install a new lamp
for optimal performance. If the projector is normally run with
Economic selected (See
66), you may continue to operate the projector until the 1950 hour
lamp warning appears.
The lamp has been in operation for 1950 hours. A new lamp should
be fitted to avoid the inconvenience when the projector runs out of
lamp time.
The lamp has been in operation for 2000 hours.
It is strongly recommended that you replace the lamp at this age.
The lamp is a consumable item. The lamp brightness
diminishes with use. This is normal lamp behavior. You can
replace the lamp whenever you notice that the brightness
level has significantly diminished. If the lamp is not
replaced beforehand, it must be replaced after 2000 hours
usage.
The lamp MUST be replaced before the projector will operate
normally.
