Extending lamp life

The projection lamp is a consumable item. To keep the lamp life as long as 
possible, you can do the following settings via the OSD menu.

•  Setting Lamp Mode as Dual-Reliable

Using Dual-Reliable mode reduces system noise and power consumption. If the Dual-Reliable mode is 
selected, the light output will be reduced and result in darker projected pictures.

Setting the projector in Dual-Reliable mode also extends the lamp life. To set Dual-Reliable mode, go to the 
Advanced Setup > Lamp Settings > Lamp Mode menu and press  / .

•  Setting Auto Power Off

This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input 
source is detected after a set period of time.

To set Auto Power Off, go to the System Setup > Auto Power Off menu and 
press  /  to select a time period. The time period can be set from 5 to 30 
minutes in 5-minute increments. If the preset time lengths are not suitable 
for your presentation, select Disable. The projector will not automatically 
shut down in a certain time period.
