Lamp Information

Use and Replacement of 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 mal-
function in the projector and in some instances the lamp may explode.
For more detailed information on the warning indicators, please refer to page 40.
The Lamp indicator light and Temperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too
hot. Turn the power off, allow the projector to cool down before checking that the Air Filters
are not clogged (page 36). If the Lamp or Temp indicator still lights up after turning the power
back on, please contact your dealer.
The following Lamp warning displays will remind you of the lamp condition.
