  Replacing the Lamp
The lamp is a consumable item. If the image is dark or the lamp is turned off, replace the lamp unit.

Usable Lamp Life
● The usable lamp life for this unit is 
     approximately  2000  hours.  The
    usable lamp life of 2000 hours is 
    merely the average usable life of
    lamps and we do not provide any 
     guarantee  for  this fi gure.
● The lamp life may not reach 
     2000  hours  depending  on  the
      operating  conditions.
● When the lamp has reached the 
      end  of  its  usable  life,  deterioration 
      progresses  rapidly.
● If the image is dark or the color tone
      is  abnormal,  replace  the  lamp  unit 
     as soon as possible.
● Setting lLamp Powerz to lStandardz 
will help to prolong the lamp life.
