Replacing the Lamp
Lamp replacement period
It is time to replace the lamp when:
•The message "Replace the lamp." is displayed at the lower left of the
projection screen when you start projecting.
•The lamp indicator flashes orange.
•The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
Attention
•
The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following time periods
in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the projected images.
When using Power Consumption continually at Normal: About 1900 hours
When using Power Consumption continually at ECO: About 2900 hours
•
Do not turn the projector on immediately after turning it off. Turning the
projector on and off frequently may shorten the life of the lamp.
•
If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has passed, the
possibility that the lamp may explode increases. When the lamp replacement
message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if
it is still working.
•
Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and the way it has been used, the
lamp may become darker or stop working before the lamp warning message
appears. We recommend that you keep a replacement lamp on hand at all
times.
q
We recommend that you clean the air filter whenever you replace the
lamp. s p.101
Replace the air filter if it is discolored or if a message appears even
after cleaning the air filter. s p.107
How to replace the lamp
The lamp can be replaced even when the projector is suspended from a
ceiling.
