The life of the lamp
The average life of the lamp for the projector is about
2,000 hours of consecutive use. Life span may differ
according to operating environment, and may be shorter
than 2,000 hours. Decreases in luminescence and/or
color brightness will indicate that the light source lamp
needs to be replaced. When lamp operation time exceeds 1,500 hours, the indicator will flash alternately
between green and red (while the lamp is in operation;
when the lamp is not in operation, the indicator will
(a)
appear red only). When the lamp has been used for
about 1,900 hours, the message “LAMP!!.” will appear
on the screen for one minute. When the lamp has been
used for about 2,000 hours, the projector will automatically shut off for the safety of the lamp and the power
indicator light will be red. The projector cannot be used
until the lamp has been replaced and operation timer
has been reset.
Caution:
• The lamp is fragile. If broken, be careful not to cut
yourself with glass fragments.
• The lamp life depends on the environment. For replacement lamps, please contact your dealer.
The projector automatically shuts off after about 2,000 hours, and you cannot use
the projector until you replace the lamp.
