    Attention 
    Lamp life is a measure of brightness degradation only, and is not a 
    specification for the time it takes a lamp to fail and cease light output. Lamp 
    life is defined as the time it takes for 50% of a lamp sample population to 
    decrease in brightness by 50% of the rated lumens for the specified lamp. For 
    example, if a sample of lamps are rated as 1500 lumens and 2000 hours of 
    Lamp life, then after 2000 hours, 50% of the sample will experience a 
    brightness decrease of 50% to 750 lumens. 
    Using the security slot 
    The projector has a security slot, (see Figure 1-4 on page 1-3). Refer to the 
    information that comes with the lock for instructions on how to use it.
