Be sure to reset the lamp operation time whenever you replace the lamp. Do not reset the lamp operation time unless you replace the lamp. Caution: The lamp is fragile. If it is broken, be careful not to cut yourself with glass fragments. Contact your dealer for a new lamp. Interval of lamp replacement The recommended interval of lamp replacement is about 6000 hours*1*2 of consecutive use. Such interval differs depending on the operating environment and may be shorter than 6000 hours *1*2.Decrease in luminescence and/or color brightness indicates that the lamp needs to be replaced. When the lamp operation time exceeds 4500 hours *1, the indicator will blink alternately between green and red (while the lamp is lit; when the lamp is not lit, the indicator will be lit red only) and the lamp replacement message will appear on the screen for one minute everytime the lamp is turned on. When the lamp has been used for about 5700 hours *1, the replacement message (LAMP REPLACEMENT) will appear on the screen for one minute every 30 hours *1 thereafter.
