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. See
"Indicators" on page 68
for details.
The following lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.
The warning messages below are for reference only. Please follow the actual on-screen
instructions to prepare and replace the lamp.
"XXXX" shown in the above messages are numbers that vary depending on different models.

the projector is normally run with

projector until the next lamp warning appears.

It is strongly recommended that you replace
the lamp at this age. 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

projector will operate normally.
