REPLACING THE LAMP (FOR SERVICE ONLY) 40 ■ The light-source lamp and its lamp time The light-source lamp has a service life. The life of lamps currently used for this projector is about 2000 hours. [Average lamp life: 2000 hours] When the light-source lamp approaches the end of its service life, deterioration progresses rapidly. Please contact your Vidikron dealer to install a new lamp when the accumulated lamp time exceeds 1900 hours. Depending on the operating conditions, the lamp may have to be changed earlier. If the image remains dark or the tone, unusual, even after adjustment, please replace the lamp as soon as possible. You can check the accumulated used hours of the lamp via the “Lamp time” item in the “Signal Info” menu. • When lamp time exceeds 1000 hours: When the accumulated lamp time reaches 1000, a message indicating “1000h” will appear on the projected screen. - Press [EXIT] button to delete the message. • When lamp time exceeds 1900 hours: - When the accumulated lamp time reaches 1900 hours: The [LAMP] indicator on the projector lights up. - When the accumulated lamp time exceeds 1900 hours: “Lamp replacement” appears on the screen. * Press [EXIT] button to delete the message. • When the lamp time exceeds 2000 hours: The lamp indicator on the projector blinks. “Warning” and “Lamp replacement” appear on the screen; the word “Warning” blinks. - To cancel the message, press the [EXIT] button. However, the same message will appear again every one hour. - Once the lamp time exceeds 2000 hours, and the projector is either put into the standby state or turned off, projection will not be possible again until the lamp is replaced and the lamp time is reset. • When the lamp time exceeds 2010 hours: The projector quits and shuts down. The [LAMP] and [OPERATE] indicators blink on the projector. - The projector does not turn on unless the lamp (lamp unit) is replaced and the lamp time is reset.

■ After installing a new lamp, reset the lamp time counter inside the projector when this is done. A new count will start. If the display of the accumulated lamp time has reached 2000 hours, the projector will not work (lamp does not light up) unless the lamp time is reset. RESETTING THE LAMP TIME (FOR SERVICE ONLY) 1. Insert the power cord into the wall outlet • The [STAND BY] indicator lights up when the main power is inputted. 2. Press the [EXIT], [MUTE], [KEY RESET] buttons on the remote control sequentially, then press SVC for 2 seconds or more • The [STAND BY] and [ON] indicators alternately blink about every approximately 3 seconds. After blinking stops, lamp time resets and the projector returns to the stand-by state ([STAND BY] indicator lights up). ���� ��������� ���� ��� ������������������� ��������������������������� To ensure the lamp hours have been reset The lamp time can be checked via the “Lamp hours” item in the “Signal Info” menu. Caution for reset work Reset the lamp hours only when you have replaced the lamp. Never reset it while the lamp is still in use, otherwise the approximate standard for gauging replacement time may be inaccurate, lamp performance may suffer and lamp blow-out may also occur. 41
