periodical replacement of the lamp unit is necessary. The estimated duration before replacement is 3 000 
hours. However, this may be shortened depending on individual lamp characteristics, usage conditions, and 
the installation environment. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that a replacement lamp unit be pr\
epared.

the end of lamp life. In this case, please check the lamp life with the values at the [Lamp Hours Used (Normal)] and [Lamp 
Hours Used (ECO)]. (Æpage 44)
Note
The usage period of 3 000 hours is a rough estimate and is not guarantee\
d. zThe used lamp time is calculated internally in the following formula as the used time in each setting of [Normal], [AUT O],  z[ECO1] and [ECO2] in [Lamp power mode]:       Lamp runtime =   (Lamp runtime of [Normal] × 60 + Lamp runtime of [AUTO] × 24 + Lamp runtime of [ECO1] or [ECO2] × 45) ÷ 60In order to estimate the lamp life, please refer to [Lamp Hours Used (Normal)] and [Lamp Hours used (ECO)] in the [Lamp  zsettings] menu (Æ page 44). [Lamp Hours Used (ECO)] is a total real time under [AUT O], [ECO1] and [ECO2] lamp power modes. Please note that they are not displayed individually.
