■Lamp Replacement
The LAMP REPLACEMENT indicator will illuminate
when the total lamp used time reaches 2000 hours.
The total lamp used time is calculated by using the
below expression,
Total lamp used time = Teco + Tnormal (1+1/3)
Teco:used time in the Eco mode
Tnormal :used time in the Normal mode
This is to indicate that lamp replacement is required.
You can check the lamp used time following to the
below procedure.
1Press and hold the e button on the projector for more
than 20 seconds.
2 The lamp used time in each normal mode and eco
mode and total used time are displayed on the bot-
tom right corner of the screen briefly.
WARNING:
- For continued safety, replace with a lamp assembly of the same type.
- Allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before you open the
lamp cover. The inside of the projector can become very hot.

Recommendation
Should the air filter become clogged with dust particles,
it will reduce the cooling fan’s effectiveness and may
result in internal heat build up and short lamp life. We
recommend cleaning the air filter after the projection
lamp is replaced.
Refer to “Air Filter Cleaning”.
