Operating Instructions
The Jaspertronics lamp module is a replacement component for your Optoma W515 Projector. Its operation is entirely dependent on the projector itself. Please refer to your Optoma W515 Projector's original user manual for detailed operating instructions, including power on/off procedures, input selection, and image adjustments.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance can extend the life of your projector and the new lamp.
- Air Filter Cleaning: Regularly clean or replace the projector's air filter to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating, which can shorten lamp life. Consult your projector's manual for filter location and cleaning instructions.
- Cool Down Period: Always allow the projector to complete its cool-down cycle before unplugging it or moving it. This protects the lamp from thermal shock.
- Avoid Frequent On/Off Cycles: Turning the projector on and off frequently can reduce lamp life.
- Storage: If storing the projector for an extended period, ensure it is in a cool, dry place.
