Optoma HD141X Lamp Timer Reset Instructions

Share This Article

After you have installed your new projector lamp into the Optoma HD141X please follow these Step-by-Step Instructions to Reset the Lamp Timer:

  1. Turn off the Projector:
    • Press the Power button on the projector or use the remote to turn it off.
    • Wait for the projector to fully power down and cool off. This may take a minute or two.
  2. Access the Projector’s Menu:
    • Once the projector is off and cooled down, turn it back on.
    • Press the Menu button on the top of the projector or use the remote control.

The Menu button is typically located on the top of the projector near the lens or on the remote. The screen should display the main menu options.

  1. Navigate to the Lamp Settings:
    • Use the arrow buttons (on the remote or the projector itself) to navigate to the “Settings” or “System” menu.
    • Look for an option labeled “Lamp Settings” or “Lamp Hours.”
    • This section will show the current number of hours the lamp has been used.
  2. Reset the Lamp Timer:
    • Once in the lamp settings, look for an option called “Reset Lamp Timer” or “Reset Hours.”
    • Highlight this option and select it by pressing Enter or OK on the projector or remote.
    • A confirmation prompt should appear asking if you are sure you want to reset the lamp timer. Confirm this by selecting Yes.

Note: The exact wording may vary depending on your model, but it will generally be something like “Reset Lamp Timer” or “Reset Lamp Hours.”

  1. Finish and Exit:
    • After confirming the reset, the lamp hours counter should reset to zero, and a message may appear confirming the reset was successful.
    • Press the Menu button again to exit the settings menu.

Helpful Tips:

  • If you’re unable to reset the timer through the menu, some models may require you to use a combination of buttons on the projector itself (such as pressing Menu and Enter/OK together). Consult the user manual for any model-specific steps.
  • If the lamp timer continues to not reset, it may indicate an issue with the projector’s software or hardware, and you might need to consult Optoma support.
