Lamp Replacement

When the projection lamp of the projector reaches its end
of life, the Lamp replacement icon appears on the screen
and LAMP REPLACE indicator lights yellow. Replace the
lamp with a new one promptly. The timing when the LAMP
REPLACE indicator should light is depending on the lamp
mode.
✔ Note:
• When Mode 2 is selected in the Lamp life control menu, if the projection lamp of the projector reaches its
end of life, the lampreplacement icon appears on the screen, and the projector is turned off automatically
after 3 minutes.
• The Lamp replacement icon will not appear when the Display function is set to Off (p.46), during Freeze
(p.25), or No show (p.26).
CAUTION
Allow a projector to cool for at least 45 minutes
before you open the Lamp Cover. The inside of
the projector can become very hot.
CAUTION
When replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating, there is a possibility that the lamp may be
broken.
If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed on the ceiling, you should always assume that
the lamp is broken, and you should stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath it. Remove the
lamp cover gently. Small pieces of glass may fall out when the lamp cover is opened. If pieces of glass get
into your eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.
