Timing of replacing the lamp
When the Lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace the lamp,
please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a malfunction in the projector
and in some instances the lamp may explode. Go to http://www.BenQ.com for how to purchase a
replacement lamp.
The Lamp indicator light and Temperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too hot. Turn
the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or Temp indicator still lights up after
turning the power back on, please contact your dealer. See Indicators for details.
Please replace the lamp when the following lamp warning messages appear.
The illustrations show the examples of messages you will see under the Basic menu. They are for reference
only and may differ from the actual design and the menu type you’ve selected.
The "XXXX" shown in the above messages are numbers that vary depending on different models.
Status Message
Install a new lamp for optimal performance. If the
projector operates normally in Economic mode
(see Getting to know the lamp hour), you may
continue operating the projector until the next
lamp warning appears.
Press OK to dismiss the message.
We strongly recommend you to replace the lamp
at this stage. The lamp is a consumable item. The
lamp brightness diminishes with use. This is
normal lamp behavior. You can replace the lamp
whenever you notice that the brightness level has
significantly diminished.
Press OK to dismiss the message.
The lamp MUST be replaced before the
projector will operate normally.
Press OK to dismiss the message.
