Safety Precautions

Operating Instructions
Resetting the Lamp Timer
After installing a new lamp, it is essential to reset the lamp timer in your television's menu. This ensures accurate tracking of the new lamp's lifespan and proper TV operation. Refer to your television's user manual for specific instructions on how to access and reset the lamp timer, as this procedure varies by TV model.
Maintenance
To maximize the lifespan and performance of your MITSUBISHI 915P049010 lamp, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Keep Ventilation Clear: Ensure that the ventilation openings on your television are not blocked. Proper airflow helps dissipate heat and prolong lamp life.
- Avoid Frequent On/Off Cycles: Turning the TV on and off frequently can reduce lamp life. Allow the lamp to operate for a reasonable period once turned on.
- Clean Gently: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the lamp housing with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Environmental Conditions: Operate the television in a cool, dry environment. Extreme temperatures or humidity can affect lamp performance and longevity.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after installing your new lamp, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Picture/Dim Picture:
- Ensure the lamp housing is fully seated and secured.
- Verify that the lamp access panel is correctly installed and its screws are tightened.
- Check if the lamp timer has been reset. Some TVs may not power on or display correctly if the timer is not reset after a lamp change.
- Confirm the TV is receiving power and all cables are securely connected.
- Lamp Indicator Light: If your TV has a lamp indicator light, consult your TV's manual to understand its meaning (e.g., solid, blinking, color). This can indicate specific issues.
- Short Lamp Lifespan: Ensure proper ventilation around the TV. Excessive heat can significantly reduce lamp life.
If problems persist after following these steps, contact a qualified service technician or the manufacturer for further assistance.
