Openings in the cabinet are provided for 
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the 
product and to protect it from overheating, these 
openings must not be blocked or covered. 
CAUTION
Hot air is exhausted from the exhaust vent. When 
using or installing the projector, the following 
precautions should be taken. 
– Do not put any flammable object or spray can 
near the projector, as hot air is exhausted from 
the air vents.
–  Keep the exhaust vent at least 3' (1 m) away 
from any objects.
– Do not touch peripheral parts of the exhaust 
vent, especially screws and metallic parts. 
These areas will become hot while the projector 
is being used.
–  Do not put anything on the cabinet. Objects put 
on the cabinet will not only get damaged but 
also may cause fire hazard by heat.
Cooling fans are provided to cool down the 
projector. The fans’ running speed is changed 
according to the temperature inside the projector.
Exhaust Vent
(Hot air exhaust)
Air Intake Vent
Air flowThe projector uses a lamp which generates 
significant heat. The cooling fans and air vents are 
provided to dissipate the heat by drawing air into 
the housing and the filter is located in the intake 
vents to prevent dust from getting inside of the 
projector.
In order to care for the projector appropriately, 
regular cleaning is required. Remove any dirt or 
dust that has accumulated on the projector.
If the projector reaches a time set in the timer 
setting, a Filter replacement icon (Fig. 1) appears 
on the screen and WARNING FILTER indicator on 
the top panel lights up (see below), indicating that 
the filter replacement is necessary.
If the projector detects that the filter is clogged 
and no scroll is left in the filter cartridge, a Filter 
cartridge replacement icon (Fig. 2) appears on the 
screen and WARNING FILTER indicator on the top 
panel lights up (see below). Stop using the projector 
immediately and replace the filter cartridge.
Blocking the air vents and leaving the projector 
uncleaned for a long time may not only damage the 
projector and may require costly repairs but may 
also cause accidents or fire.
For maintenance of the filter, refer to “Filter counter” 
on page 65 and “Maintenance and Care” on pages 
66-68.
Damages to the projector caused by using an 
uncleaned filter or improper maintenance will 
void the warranty on the projector.
