Projector Lamp Maintenance; Replacing The Lamp - Epson EB-1985WU User Manual

Projector Lamp Maintenance

The projector monitors the number of hours the lamp is used and displays
this information in the projector's menu system.
Replace the lamp as soon as possible when the following occurs:
• The projected image gets darker or quality declines
• A message appears when you turn on the projector telling you to
replace the lamp (message remains displayed for 30 seconds)
• The projector's lamp light is flashing orange
Attention
• The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following time
periods to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the projected images.
- When the Power Consumption setting is set to Normal in the projector's
ECO menu: About 2900 hours
- When the Power Consumption setting is set to ECO in the projector's
ECO menu: About 3900 hours
• If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has passed, the
possibility that the lamp may explode increases. When the lamp replacement
message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if
it is still working.
• Do not repeatedly turn off the power and then immediately turn it back on.
Turning the power on and off frequently may shorten the lamp's operating
life.
• Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and the way it has been used,
the lamp may become darker or stop working before the lamp warning
message appears. You should always have a spare lamp unit ready in case it is
needed.
• We recommend the use of genuine Epson option lamps. The use of non-
genuine lamps may affect projection quality and safety. Any damage or
malfunction caused by the use of non-genuine lamps may not be covered by
Epson's warranty.
