Timing of replacing the lamp
When the lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace the lamp, please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a malfunction in the projector and in some instances the lamp may explode.
The LAMP indicator light and TEMPerature indicator light will light up if the lamp becomes too hot. Turn the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or LAMP indicator light still lights up after turning the power back on, please contact your dealer. See "Indicators" on page 52 for details.
The following lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.

The lamp has been in operation for 3750 hours. Install a new lamp for optimal performance. If the projector is normally run with Low selected (See "Setting Lamp mode as Low" on page 47), you may continue to operate the projector until the 4750 hour lamp warning appears.
The lamp has been in operation for 4750 hours. A new lamp should be fitted to avoid the inconvenience when the projector runs out of lamp time.
The lamp has been in operation for 5000 hours.
It is strongly recommended that you replace the lamp at this age.
The lamp is a consumable item. The lamp brightness diminishes with use. This is normal lamp behavior. You can replace the lamp whenever you notice that the brightness level has significantly diminished. If the lamp is not replaced beforehand, it must be replaced after 5000 hours usage.
The lamp MUST be replaced before the projector will operate normally.
