Status Menu

Always record the serial number of a NEW lamp.
'
When a new lamp is installed and its serial
number recorded by selecting "Change
Lamp" in the Lamp menu, the lamp timer
resets to "0" and begins logging time for
the new lamp. This tally appears in both
the Lamp menu (see right) and the Status
menu.
To review the number of hours logged for
previous lamps, consult the Lamp History
menu.
'
If the "Lamp Message" checkbox has been enabled in the Lamp menu
(recommended), an expiry message will appear upon power-up when the lamp has
reached its defined "Lamp Limit". The lamp should be replaced.
The "Lamp Limit" setting should not exceed the expected lamp life, as an old lamp
becomes increasingly fragile and more prone to sudden failure. See also 4.4, Lamp
and Filter Replacement.
The read-only Status menu lists a variety of details about the standard and optional
components currently detected in the projector. Refer to the Status menu for versions
of hardware and software installed, the type (size) of lamp, the hours logged in total
and for a specific period (such as a rental period), and for your projector model name
and serial number. In addition, the Status menu identifies the current channel, its
location, its frequencies and other details.
