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.
Total (equivalent) lamp hour = 1.75*(hours used in Normal mode) + 1.40*(hours used in
Economic mode) + 1.00*(hours)

the power back on, please contact your dealer. See
"Indicators" on page 60
for details.
The following lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.
