Replacing the Lamp
The life span of the lamp is up to 3000 hours.
You can check how long the lamp has been used as described on page 44. If the number
shown is close to the limit, make sure you have a spare lamp handy.
Note: Turn off this product when not in use to prolong the life of the projector.
It’s time to replace the lamp when:
■ The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
■ The lamp warning light flashes orange.
■ The message Replace the lamp appears on the screen when you start projecting.
Caution: If you continue to use the lamp after you see the replacement indicators, the lamp is more
likely to break.
