Interval of lamp replacement

The recommended interval of lamp replacement is
about 6000 hours*1*2 of consecutive use. Such interval
differs depending on the operating environment and
may be shorter than 6000 hours*1*2.
Decrease in luminescence and/or color brightness
indicates that the lamp needs to be replaced. When
the lamp operation time exceeds 4500 hours*1, the
indicator will blink alternately between green and
red (while the lamp is lit; when the lamp is not lit, the
indicator will be lit red only) and the lamp replacement
message will appear on the screen for one minute
everytime the lamp is turned on. When the lamp has
been used for about 5700 hours*1, the replacement
message (Lamp Replacement) will appear on the
screen for one minute every 30 hours*1 thereafter.
When the lamp operation time exceeds 6000
hours*1*2, the projector automatically shuts off and
can’t be used until the lamp is replaced and the
lamp operation time is reset.
*1: Duration when Lamp Mode of the Installation menu is set
to Low. When it is set to Standard, this duration will be
shorted.
*2: When Lamp Mode is set to Standard, this duration will be
shorted to 3000 hours.
