The warning lights on the projector indicate problems inside the projector.

If a problem occurs, either the temperature warning indicator or the lamp replacement indicator will illuminate red, and the power will turn off. After the power has been turned off, follow the proce- dures given below.

The lamp life becomes 0%, when used for approximately 4,500 hours with “Eco Mode” or when used for approximately 3,000 hours with “Standard Mode” (see page 45).

5% or less, “” (yellow) will be displayed on the screen. When the percentage be-

comes 0%, “” will change to “” (red), the lamp will automatically turn off and then the projector as well. At this time, the lamp replacement indicator will illu- minate in red.

If you try to turn on the projector a fourth time without replacing the lamp, the pro- jector will not turn on.
