•If you continue to use the lamp after this period, the possibility of the lamp breaking becomes greater. 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 on the way it has been used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before the lamp warning message appears. You should always have a spare lamp ready in case it is needed.
•Contact your dealer for a spare lamp.
Replacing the Lamp
•If you are replacing the lamp because it has stopped working, it is possible that the lamp is broken.
If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed on a ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken and be extremely careful when removing the lamp cover.
•Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before removing the lamp cover. To give the lamp enough time to cool down after turning off the power, wait for about one hour.
