The LAMP indicator starts to flash red and the message shown below appears whenever 
the lamp time exceeds 2000 hours.

When this message appears, replace the lamp as soon as possible using the procedure 
under “Replacing the Lamp” on page 27. 
Note that the above message will disappear about 10 seconds after you turn on the 
projector, even if you do not replace the lamp. 
You will be able to continue using the projector without replacing the lamp until the lamp 
time reaches 100 hours. At that time, the LAMP indicator will stop flashing and remain lit 
red, the following message will appear for about 10 seconds, and then the projector will 
turn off automatically.

When this message appears, replace the lamp immediately using the procedure under 
“Replacing the Lamp” on page 27.

z During normal use, the lamp and the area around it become extremely hot. Before 

replacing the lamp, turn off the projector and wait for the cool down operation 
(indicated when the POWER/STANDBY indicator is flashing amber) to finish. Next, 
disconnect the AC power cord from the projector, and wait for at least 60 minutes to 
allow it to cool down even further.
Touching the lamp or the area around it during operation or immediately after turning 
off the projector creates the risk of serious burn injury.

z Replace the lamp using the YL-33 optional lamp cartridge only.
z A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the light source. A lamp that 

is weakened by impact, damage, or expiration of its lamp life may explode or fail to 
light if exposed to loud noise. Note that lamp life differs greatly from lamp to lamp, 
and is affected by conditions under which the lamp is used.

z Never touch the glass of the lamp with your fingers. Doing so can cause the lamp to 

rupture and shorten its life.

z A broken lamp can cause glass fragments to be scattered inside the lamp housing. 

Gas inside of the lamp housing may also be discharged from the projector’s vent 
exhaust ports. Gas inside of the lamp includes mercury, so be sure to ventilate the 
area whenever the lamp breaks. Should you accidentally inhale gas fumes or should 
gas fumes get into your eyes, immediately contact a physician.

z Should the lamp break, take care to avoid personal injury on the glass fragments. 

Never try to replace a broken lamp on your own. Contact ASK Proxima service 
(www.askproxima.com) to request a replacement.

Hg - Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See

It is time to replace the lamp. Use the procedure in the User’s Guide to replace the lamp as soon as 
possible.

The lamp has exceeded its service life! The projector will not turn on until you replace the lamp.
