Getting to know the lamp hour
When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp
usage is automatically calculated by the built-in timer. The method of
calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as follows:

mode)
See "Setting Lamp Power as Economic" below for more information on
Economic mode.
To obtain the lamp hour information:
1. Press MENU and then press / until the Advanced Setup menu
is highlighted.
2. Press to highlight Lamp Settings and press ENTER. The Lamp
Settings page displays.
3. The lamp hour information is shown in the row of Equivalent
Lamp Hour.
4. To leave the menu, press MENU.
Extending lamp life
The projection lamp is a consumable item. To keep the lamp life as long as possible, you can do the
following settings via the OSD menu.

selected, the light output will be reduced and result in darker projected pictures.
Setting the projector in Economic mode also extends the lamp life. To set Economic mode, go to the
Advanced Setup > Lamp Settings > Lamp Power menu and press / .
• Setting Auto Off
This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input
source is detected after a set period of time.
To s et Auto Off, go to the System Setup > Auto Off menu and press
/ to select a time period. The time period can be set from 5 to 30
minutes in 5-minute increments. If the preset time lengths are not
suitable for your presentation, select Disable. The projector will not
automatically shut down in a certain time period.
