warning message in case of a IQ300 series projector
At the end of the lifetime of lamp2 (xhours) the projector generates an alert message.
Image 4-9
A countdown time of 4 minutes is triggered before the projector is shut down (standby).
If the lamp runtime has not been reset, the alert message will reappear at the next start up (with again 4 minutes countdown time).
This alert message can be escaped with MENU or BACK, but the countdown continues.
Contact a qualified Barco technician for lamp replacement.
In Dual mode the lamp end of lifetimes are reached at the same time, however if in dual lamp mode one lamp
has been used more than the other (for example if the projector has been working temporarily in single mode),
one lamp will reach its end of lifetime sooner than the other lamp, which brings us to the Single mode oper-
ation.
WARNING:Using a lamp for more than x hours is dangerous as the lamp could explode.
The lamp runtime reset as well as the lamp replacement can only be done by a Barco authorized technician.
