Lamp Replacement Period
••••
The replacement warning message is set to appear after about 1400 hours of lamp use in order
to maintain the brightness and quality of the projected images. If you continue to use the lamp
after this period, the possibility of the lamp breaking becomes greater. When the lamp
replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it
is still working.
••••
The warning message appears after about 1400 hours of use, but the actual life of each
individual lamp will vary depending on the characteristics of the lamp and on the way it has
been used. Some lamps may stop operating before 1400 hours of use, so you should always
have a spare lamp ready in case.
••••
Contact your dealer for a spare lamp.

If the lamp stops working and needs to be replaced, there is the danger that the
lamp may break when handled.
If replacing the lamp of a projector that has been installed to the ceiling, you
should always assume that the lamp is broken and remove the lamp cover very
carefully.
••••
Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before opening the lamp cover. It
takes a further one hour after the cool-down period has finished for the lamp to
be cool enough.
