Resetting the Lamp Timer

After you install a new lamp, you need to reset the timer so the
projector can keep track of how many hours it has been used.

Note: Reset the lamp timer only after you install a new lamp. If you
reset it at any other time, the projector will not indicate the correct
number of lamp usage hours.

Follow these steps:

1. Make sure the power cord is connected to the projector and

to an electrical outlet.

2. Turn on the projector and wait for it to warm up.

3. Press the

Menu

button on the projector or remote control.

You see the main menu.

4. Select the

Reset

menu. You see the lamp usage hours and

other settings.

5. Select

Lamp Hours Reset

.

6. When you see a prompt asking whether you want to execute

the command, highlight

Yes

and press the

Select

button.

7. When you’re finished, press

Esc

or

Menu

.

The lamp usage timer doesn’t register until you’ve used the
lamp for at least 10 hours. After that, the timer updates lamp
usage in one hour increments.
