Lamp/Maintenance Indicators - Sharp PG-D120U Operation Manual

Lamp/Maintenance Indicators

Lamp
The lamp in this projector operates for approximately 2,000 cumulative hours, depending on the usage environ-
ment. When the lamp has been used for 1,900 hours, the LAMP REPLACEMENT indicator will light red and
"LAMP" will flash in yellow on the screen. It is recommended that the lamp be replaced after 1,900 cumulative
hours of use or when you notice a significant deterioration of the picture and color quality.
If the lamp has been used for 2,000 hours, the projector power will automatically turn off and the projector will
enter standby mode. If you turn on the power after the lamp has been used for 2,000 hours, "LAMP" will flash in
red on the screen and the power will turn off. See pages 30 and 31 for replacing the lamp. The lamp usage time
can be checked with the On-screen Display (see page 19).
• As the usage environment can vary significantly, the projector lamp may not operate for 2,000 hours.
CAUTION
• Intense light hazard. Do not attempt to look into the aperture and lens while the projector is operating.
