Replacing the Lamp
The life of light-source lamps used for this unit is about 2000 hours.
●
The lamp life of 2000 hours is merely the average life span of light-source lamps and we do not provide any guarantee for
this figure.
The lamp life may not reach 2000 hours depending on the operating conditions.
Deterioration progresses rapidly when the remaining lamp usage time is short. Get ready or replace with a new lamp (lamp
unit) when the accumulated usage time exceeds 1900 hours. Depending on the operating conditions, the lamp may have to
be exchanged earlier. If the image is dark or color tone abnormal, replace the lamp as soon as possible.
●
You can also check the accumulated hours of usage. Please refer to

About Lamp Replacement
●
If this unit is installed in a constricted place, attempting to replace the lamp in that place may cause injury. Move this unit
to a place large enough to perform work.
●
Use only genuine replacement parts for the lamp unit. Otherwise, malfunction may occur. Also, never attempt to re-use
an old lamp unit. This may cause marked performance deterioration or lamp blowout, thus leading to unit malfunction.
Broken pieces of the lamp outside this unit may also cause injuries during lamp unit exchange.
●
Do not replace the lamp immediately after this unit has been used. The temperature of the lamp is still high and this may
cause a burn. Allow a cooling period of 1 hour or more before replacement.
●
Before replacing the lamp unit, pull out the power plug from the outlet while the [STAND BY] indicator is still on.
Replacing a lamp with the plug connected to the outlet may cause injuries or electric shocks.
