Working With the Lamp Access the Lamp Adjust menu to:
• Choose a lamp mode for regulating power and light output.
• Change the optical aperture size.
• View information pertaining to past and present lamps.
• Record the lamp serial number in the projector’s memory.
Lamp Hours (read-only): Lamp Hours shows the number of hours logged on the current
lamp. Whenever you record a new lamp serial number, the Vision 140/150 automatically
resets this value to zero and begins to log time for the new lamp.
Lamp S/N (read-only): Lamp S/N is the serial number recorded for the current lamp. When
you install a new lamp and enter its serial number, the number appears here.
Lamp Message: Enter a check mark for Lamp Message to enable a warning message that
appears upon power-up when the lamp has reached the specified lamp limit and should be
replaced. Delete the check mark to prevent display of this message – instead, when your
lamp expires, only the status display messages on the back of the projector will provide a
visual warning to replace the lamp.
Lamp Limit: Set Lamp Limit to the number of hours you expect to log on the current lamp
before replacing it. This will trigger a lamp message on-screen (if enabled).

1. If you change modes over the life of a lamp, the lamp limit you
originally expected may no longer be possible.
2. Turning the lamp on and off reduces lamp life significantly, as do other
factors.
3. It is recommended that Lamp Limit not exceed the expected lamp life,
otherwise a lamp could become dangerously fragile with overuse.
