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

The Lamp indicator light and Temperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too
hot. See
"Indicators" on page 65
for details.
The following lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.
