Getting to know the lamp hour
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:
Equivalent lamp hour
= 1 (hours used in Whisper mode) + 3/2 (hours used in Normal
mode)
See "Setting Lamp Power as Whisper" below for more information on
Whisper mode.
To obtain the lamp hour information:
1.
Press MENU and then press / until the Setup menu is
highlighted.
2. Press to highlight Lamp settings and press ENTER. The
Lamp settings page displays.
3. Highlight Lamp Hours and press ENTER to display the Lamp
Hours information page.
4. To leave the menu, press MENU.
About Lamp Reset Rate:
Lamp Reset Rate shows the percentage of the lamp rest life. The
method of calculating the rate is as follows:
Reset Rate = [1 - (Total Lamp Hours /3000)] x 100%
Extending lamp life
The projection lamp is a consumable item that normally can last
up to 2500-3000 hours with proper usage. To keep the lamp life
as long as possible, you can do the following settings via the OSD
menu.
• Setting Lamp Power as Whisper
Using Whisper mode reduces system noise and power
consumption. If the Whisper mode is selected, the light output
will be reduced and result in darker projected pictures.
Setting the projector in Whisper mode also extends the lamp life. To set Whisper mode, go
into the Setup > Lamp settings > Lamp Power menu and press / .
• Setting Auto 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 Off, go into the System > Auto 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.
