The rated lamp life is about 1,000 hours. The rated lamp life is the average life of the lamps produced and tested (under the test conditions of our company) for a long term, however, it may become shorter depending on the conditions of usage.
After the lamp has been operating for 1000 hours or longer, the STATUS indicator on the control panel will light and the “LAMP USAGE” icon which shows hours of total lamp usage will be displayed on the screen. When this happens, turn off the unit and replace the lamp cartridge with a new one. The unit will not turn on after 1100 hours. (It will go off if it is in use.)
CAUTION
•DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling.
•DO NOT LOOSEN ANY SCREWS except for those men- tioned in the instructions below. There is danger of electric shock.
