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 mode....
