Section 3: Operation
NOTES: 1) The projector will automatically shutdown if it detects both lamps have “failed” (this includes lamps not installed). 2) The lamp operation mode will not automatically switch to a previous mode once a “failed” lamp is replaced. It must manually be selected. 3) It takes approximately 25 seconds for a cold lamp to reach full brightness when it is first turned on. 4) Power is cut to a lamp only when the lamp operation mode is switched to the other lamp.
IMPORTANT - the original lamp stays on for 35 seconds to allow the new lamp to warm up before power is cut and lamp operation modes change.
MORE LAMP 1 (MORE LAMP 2) - There are two separate lamp submenus that can be accessed from the Lamp menu. Each submenu is dedicated to one lamp – you can view specific lamp information, such as lamp hours, lamp history and the current status of the lamp. You can also change lamp operation modes.
