Important!

zContinued use of the projector after dust has accumulated around the intake vents can cause overheating of internal components and lead to malfunction.

zCertain operating conditions also can cause dirt and dust to accumulate around the projector's exhaust vents on the front. If this happens, use the same procedure as that described above to clean the exhaust vents.

Replacing the Lamp

Caution

Continued use of a lamp that has passed its lamp life increases the risk of the lamp rupturing. Replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible after the replacement message appears.

zThe light source lamp is a consumable item. The average life of a lamp is approximately 2000 hours. After 2000 hours, a message appears to alert you to the need of lamp replacement. However, note that the characteristics of a particular lamp or lamp operating conditions can cause the lamp to start to go dim or even fail before the message appears.

1	Press the [MENU] key to display the setup menu.
2	Press the [T] key to select the “Operational
	Info” main menu.
	z The “Lamp Time” sub-menu item shows the
	number of hours that the current lamp has been
	used.

	menu.
