Projector Lamp Timer
Reset The Hours
Most projectors have a ‘lamp timer’ function that requires you to manually reset the hours used to ‘0’ every time you install a new lamp. This feature, which tracks how long the lamp has been in use, is what prompts you to replace the lamp when it reaches a certain number of hours. Until you manually reset the lamp timer, you will continue to get this message.
Some projectors will shut down if the hours used reaches a certain threshold past the recommended hours of use, and may even require a different reset procedure.
Different Reset Procedure
- After you have installed your new lamp, follow the procedure outlined in your owner’s manual to reset the lamp timer on the unit.
- If you are required to push buttons on a remote, you will need to use the original remote that came with your unit. If you do not have one, contact the manufacturer of your unit for a replacement.
- The procedure may have to be repeated several times before it works; follow the instructions carefully.
- Do not reset the lamp timer on your unit unless you install a new lamp. Failure to follow this procedure will result in the hours used being incorrect, and renders this important feature of your unit useless.
