•The message "Replace the lamp." is displayed at the lower left of the
projection screen when you start projecting.
•The lamp indicator flashes orange.
Replace the lamp indicated by the flashing indicator, either lamp 1 or

•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.

Power Consumption: When used continually at Normal: About 2500 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 lamps.
•
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. You should always have two spare lamp units
ready in case they are needed.
How to replace the lamp
The lamp can be replaced even when the projector is suspended from a
ceiling.
Warning
•
When replacing the lamps because they have stopped illuminating, there is
a possibility that the lamp may be broken. If replacing the lamp of a
projector which has been installed on the ceiling, you should always
assume that the lamp is broken, and you should stand to the side of the
lamp cover, not underneath it. Remove the lamp cover gently.
•
Never disassemble or remodel the lamp. If a remodeled or reassembledlamp
is installed into the projector and used, it could cause a fire, electric shock,
or an accident.
