Extending Lamp Life

- Lamp Replacement
Do not touch any glass components of the lamp with bare hands. Dirt from fingerprints may cause heat to concentrate at some points, shortening the life of the lamp, or the projected image may be obscured. Always hold the module and not the lamp. If you are changing the lamp only please use gloves or a suitable cloth.

- Replacing/cleaning the air filter
Some manufacturers provide a new filter with each lamp. A blocked filter will make the lamp overheat and fail early. Always use the enclosed air filter to replace the one that is currently being used. If you do not receive a new filter with your new lamp please clean the filter to maintain good airflow in the projector. It is always helpful to operate the projector in a clean, relatively dust free environment.

- Switching the projector OFF
This procedure is very important. Always switch off the projector using the standby button on the remote control or the standby button on the projector itself. The projector will go into cool down mode and the fan(s) will accelerate to help cool the lamp housing quickly. After a short period the projector will switch itself off completing the cooling down process. Failure to follow this procedure can cause the lamp to fail.

- Moving the projector
Please follow the cooling down process (approx 2 minutes). It is important that the projector is switched off and the lamp cool before moving it.

- Dual lamp mode
Some projectors have a normal lamp mode and an ECONOMY mode . Economy mode allows the projector to operate more efficiently providing a longer lamp life. Although this does lead to lower levels of brightness please try to use the Economy mode as much as you can.
