Lamp information

Use and replacement of the lamp

When the Lamp indicator lights up red or a message displays 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.

For more information on projector warnings, refer to "Indicators" on page 53.

The Lamp indicator light and Temperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too hot. Turn the power off, allow the projector to cool down before checking that the dust filters are not clogged (page 48). If the Lamp or Temp indicator still lights up after turning the power back on, please contact your dealer.

The following Lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.

The lamp has been in operation for 1980 hours. Install

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a new lamp for optimal performance. If the projector

 

 

 

 

is normally run with "Economic Mode" selected (see

 

 

 

 

"Selecting a preset mode" on page 35), you may

 

 

 

 

continue to operate the projector until the 2980 hour

 

 

 

 

lamp warning appears.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The lamp has been in operation for 2980 hour, the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

power will shutdown in 20 hours time. A new lamp

 

 

 

 

should be fitted to avoid the inconvenience when the

The lamp has been in operation for over 3000 hours. This message will flash in the center of the screen together with the Lamp indicator lighting up red for 40 seconds. The projector will shutdown after 40 seconds. The lamp MUST be replaced before the projector will operate normally.

It is strongly recommended that you replace the lamp at this age. The lamp is a consumable item. With the usage time increase, the lamp brightness diminished gradually. 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 3000 hours usage.
