6. Operating Instructions
After successful installation, operate your projector as usual. The new lamp will provide optimal brightness and color performance. Allow the projector to warm up for a few minutes after turning it on and cool down completely before unplugging or moving it.
7. Maintenance
To maximize the lifespan of your lamp and projector:
- Air Filter Cleaning: Regularly clean or replace the projector's air filter to ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, which can shorten lamp life.
- Cool-down Cycle: Always allow the projector to complete its cool-down cycle before unplugging it. Interrupting this cycle can damage the lamp.
- Avoid Rapid On/Off: Frequent turning on and off of the projector can reduce lamp life.
- Environmental Conditions: Operate the projector in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate ventilation.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after lamp replacement, consider the following:
- No Image/Dim Image: Ensure the lamp module is fully seated and secured. Check if the lamp timer was reset.
- Lamp Warning Light: If the lamp warning light persists after replacement, ensure the lamp timer was reset correctly. If the issue continues, re-check the lamp installation.
- Overheating: Verify that the projector's air filter is clean and that ventilation ports are not obstructed.
For persistent issues, refer to your projector's original user manual or contact Jaspertronics support.
