When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is automatically calculated by the 

built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as follows:
Total Lamp Hour = (hours used in Normal mode) + 4/5*(hours used in Economic mode)

 below for more information on Economic mode.

To obtain the lamp hour information:
1.

Press MENU and then press  /  until the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced menu is highlighted.

2.

Press   to highlight Lamp Settings and press OK/IMAGE. The Lamp Settings page is displayed.

3.

You will see the Lamp Time information appearing on the menu.

4.

To leave the menu, press MENU.

You can also get the lamp hour information on the INFORMATION menu.

Lamps should be replaced about every 2,000 (used in Normal Mode)–2,500 (used in Economic Mode) 

hours.  Note that there is no guarantee how long lamps will last.
To keep the lamp life as long as possible, you can do the following settings via the OSD menu.

Using Economic mode reduces system noise and power consumption by approximately 20%. If the 

Economic mode is selected, the light output will be reduced and result in darker projected pictures.
Setting the projector in Economic mode also extends the lamp operation life. To set Economic mode, go 

into the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced > Lamp Settings > Lamp Mode menu and press  / .

This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input source is detected and no operation 

is made by user after a set period of time to prevent unnecessary waste of lamp life.
To set Auto Power Off, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Auto Power Off menu and press  / . 

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.
