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...

Lamp information
Getting to know the lamp hour
When the projector is in operation, the duration (in 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
= 1 (hours used in Economic mode) + 4/3 (hours used in normal mode)
See  Setting Lamp mode as Economic  below for more information on Economic mode.
The lamp hour in Economic mode is calculated as 3/4 of that in  Normal...

Timing of replacing the lamp
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.
The Lamp indicator light and Temperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too 
hot. Turn the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or Temp indicator 
still lights up after...

Replacing the lamp
• If lamp replacement is performed while the projector is suspended upside-down from the 
ceiling, make sure that no one is underneath the lamp socket to avoid any possible injury 
or damage to the human eyes caused by fractured lamp.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn the projector off and disconnect the 
power cord before changing the lamp.   
• To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes 
before replacing...
