Red:The lamp is shut down abnormally 
or the lamp should be replaced.

fl ickering of the image may be experienced 
within the fi  rst minute after the lamp has been 
illuminated. This is normal operation as the 
lamp’s control circuitry is stabilizing the lamp 
output characteristics. This does not indicate 
malfunction.

immediately turned on again, the lamp may 
take some time to illuminate.
