Timing of replacing the lamp
When the Lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace the lamp,
please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a malfunction in the projector
and in some instances the lamp may explode. Go to
http://www.BenQ.com
for a replacement lamp.
The Lamp indicator light and Temperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too hot. Turn
the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or Temp indicator still lights up after
turning the power back on, please contact your dealer. See
Indicators
for details.
Please replace the lamp when the following lamp warning messages appear.
The illustrations show the examples of messages you will see under the Advanced menu. They are for
reference only and may differ from the actual design and the menu type you’ve selected.
"XXXX" shown in the above messages are numbers that vary depending on different models.

Install a new lamp for optimal performance. If the projector
operates normally in
Economic
mode (see
Getting to
know the lamp hour
), you may continue operating the
projector until the next hour lamp warning appears.

We strongly recommend you to replace the lamp at this
stage. The lamp is a consumable item. The lamp brightness
diminishes with use. This is normal lamp behavior. You can
replace the lamp whenever you notice that the brightness
level has significantly diminished.

The lamp
MUST
