Maintenance
Care of the projector
Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you need to do on a regular basis is 
to keep the lens clean.
Never remove any parts of the projector except the lamp. Contact your dealer if other parts 
need replacing.
Cleaning the lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. 
• Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust. 
• If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with lens 
cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.
Never rub the lens with abrasive materials.
Cleaning the projector case
Before you clean the case, turn the projector off using the proper shutdown procedure as 
described in Shutting down the projector on page 30.
• To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with the supplied cleaning cloth.
• To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral pH 
detergent. Then wipe the case.
Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other chemical detergents. These can damage the 
case.
Storing the projector
If you need to store the projector for an extended time, please follow the instructions below:
• Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the 
recommended range for the projector. Please refer to Specifications on page 45 or 
consult your dealer about the range.
• Retract the adjuster feet.
• Remove the battery from the remote control.
• Pack the projector in its original packing or equivalent.
Transporting the projector
It is recommended that you ship the projector with its original packing or equivalent. When 
you carry the projector yourself, please use the original box or provided soft carry case.

Lamp information
Calculation of lamp hour
When the projector is in operation, the duration (by hours) of lamp usage is automatically 
calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as 
follows:
Total (equivalent) lamp hour = 3/4 (hours used in Economic mode) + 1 (hours used in 
normal mode)
See Economic Mode (Off) on page 36 for more information on Economic mode.The lamp hour in Economic mode is calculated as 3/4 of that in normal mode. That is, using 
the projector in Economic mode helps to extend the lamp hour by 1/3.
Warning message
When the Lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace 
the lamp, please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a 
malfunction in the projector and in some instances the lamp may explode.
For more detailed information on projector warnings, please refer to Indicators on page 
42.
The following Lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.
StatusMessage
The lamp has been in operation for 2800 hours. 
Install a new lamp for optimal performance. If the 
projector is normally run with Economic Mode 
selected (See Economic Mode (Off ) on page 36), 
you may continue to operate the projector until the 
2950 hour lamp warning appears.
The lamp has been in operation for 2950 hour. A 
new lamp should be fitted to avoid the 
inconvenience when the projector runs out of lamp 
time.
The lamp has been in operation for over 3000 hours. 
This message will flash in the center of the screen for 
about 30 seconds together with the Lamp indicator 
lighting up red for 40 seconds.
It is strongly recommended that you replace the 
lamp at this age. The lamp is a consumable item. 
With the usage time increase, the lamp brightness diminished gradually. This is normal 
lamp behaviour. You can replace the lamp whenever you notice that the brightness level 
has significantly diminished. If the lamp is not replaced beforehand, it must be replaced 
after 3000 hours usage.
If this warning message displays, the projector will 
shut down in 40 seconds. The lamp MUST be 
replaced before the projector will operate normally.
