note
Turn off this product when not in use to prolong the life of the projector.
warning
Let the lamp cool fully before replacing it.
In the unlikely event that the lamp has broken, small glass fragments may be present and should be removed carefully to avoid injury. If the projector has been installed on the ceiling, you should stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath it.
If the lamp is used after the replacement period has passed, the possibility that the lamp may break increases. When a lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.
Replacing the Lamp
The life span of the projection lamp is about 3000 hours if Brightness Control in the Settings menu is set to High (default), and 4000 hours if Brightness Control is set to Low. See page 81 to check the lamp usage.
It is time to replace the lamp when:
■The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
■The message Replace the lamp appears on the screen and the
Lamp light flashes orange. To maintain projector brightness and image quality, replace the lamp as soon as possible.
You may also need to replace the lamp if the 
Lamp light flashes or stays on red. See page 87.
