Lamp unit replacement period
The Lamp is a consumable item and it's life varies based

Lamp for a period of 90 (ninety) days from the date of
purchase. Replacing the lamp is so easy that you can do
it yourself. For the lamp replacement procedure, please

• The unit will detect when
the Lamp's end of life
is approaching and the
message (shown at right) will
be displayed.
• The LAMP indicator light will
be lit when the Lamp's end of life is approaching.
Influences of frequent lighting, continuous light use for
over 24 hours, the number of times lit, the length of
time between lightings, etc. may shorten lamp life.
(Because of this, we recommend having a
replacement lamp on hand.)
