This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and properly.  Improper
handling may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.
●Lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use.  There is no
guarantee of the same life for each lamp.  Some lamps may fail or terminate their life in a shorter
period of time than other similar lamps.
●If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if the LAMP REPLACE indicator lights
up, replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down.  
( Follow carefully the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual.  )  Continuous use
of the lamp with the LAMP REPLACE indicator lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.  
●A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours of use as its
lifetime draws to an end.  Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in
which the projector and lamp are being used.
IF A LAMP EXPLODES, THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN.
If a lamp explodes, disconnect the projector’s AC plug from the AC outlet immediately.  Contact an
authorized service station for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp.  Additionally, check
carefully to ensure that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out
from the cooling air circulation holes.  Any broken shards found should be cleaned up carefully.  No one
should check the inside of the projector except those who are authorized trained technicians and who are
familiar with projector service.  Inappropriate attempts to service the unit by anyone, especially those
who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of broken
glass.  
LAMP HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

–Make sure you have properly connected the projector to peripheral equipment as described in Connecting to a Computer
and “Connecting to Video Equipment” on  page17-19. 
–Make sure all equipment is connected to AC outlet and the power is turned on.
–If the projector does not project an image being operated with a computer, restart the computer.  
Appendix
Problem:–Solutions
No power–Plug the power cord of the projector into the AC outlet.
–See if the POWER indicator lights red.
–Wait 90-120 seconds after the projector is turned OFF when turning the 
projector back on.  The projector can be turned on after the POWER 
indicator turns red.  (See “Turning Off the Projector” on page 21.)
–Check the WARNING indicator.  If the WARNING indicator lights red, the 
projector cannot be turned on.  (See Warning Indicator on page 47.)
–Check the projection lamp.  (See page 50 and 51.)

–Provide proper distance between the projector and the projection 
screen.  (See page 15.)
–Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.  (See page 49.)
–Moving the projector from a cool to a warm place may result in moisture 
condensation on the projection lens.  In such cases, leave the projector 
OFF and wait until condensation disappears.
No image–Check the connection between your computer or video equipment 
and the projector.  (See page 17–19)
–See if the input signal is correctly output from your computer.  Some 
laptop computers may need to change the setting for monitor output when 
connecting to a projector.  See your computer’s instruction manual for the
setting. 
–It takes about 30 seconds to display an image after turning on the projector.
–See if the selected system is corresponding with your computer or video 
equipment.  (See page 27 and 36)
–Select correct input source once again through menu operation.
(See page 26, 34 and 35)
–Make sure the temperature is not out of the specified Operating 
Temperature (5°C ~ 35°C).
Image is Left/Right reversed.–Check the Ceiling / Rear item.  (See “Setting” on page 43.)
image is Top/Bottom reversed.–Check the Ceiling item.  (See “Setting” on page 43.)
