MAINTENANCE
WARNING TEMP. INDICATOR
The Warning Temp. indicator blinks red to let you know the internal
temperature of the projector exceeds a normal level. If the temperature
goes up further, the projector will be turned off automatically and the
Ready indicator goes out. (The Warning Temp. indicator continues
blinking.) After the cooling-off period, the Ready indicator lights on \
again
and the projector can be turned on by pressing the POWER ON-OFF
button on the top control or the remote control. When you turn on the
projector, the Warning Temp. indicator goes out.
If the Warning Temp. indicator is still blinking, check the following ma\
tters:
–The ventilation slots of the projector may be blocked. In such a case,
reposition the  projector so that the ventilation slots are not obstruct\
ed.
– The air filters may be clogged with dust particles. Clean them by
following the section “AIR FILTER CARE AND CLEANING” on the next
page.
– If the WARNING TEMP. indicator remains on after performing above
checks, the cooling fans or internal circuits may be malfunctioning.
Contact the service station.

When the projector detects an internal problem, it shuts down automatica\
lly and both the Warning Temp. and
Ready indicators start blinking. In this condition, the projector cannot\
 be turned on even if you press the POWER
ON-OFF button on the top control or remote control. If this happens, unp\
lug and reconnect the AC power cord,
and then turn on the projector again to check the operation. If the proj\
ector shuts down again or cannot to be
turned on, internal checking and repair is required. Unplug the AC power\
 cord and contact the service station.

CLEANING PROJECTION LENS
Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a dry soft cleaning cloth. A\
void using an excessive amount of cleaner.
Abrasive cleaners, solvents ,or other harsh chemicals might scratch the \
surface of the lens.
When the projector is not in use, put the lens cap.

Follow these steps to clean the projection lens:
AIR FILTERS CARE AND CLEANING
AIR FILTERS
Pull up and remove.
Turn off the projector and unplug the AC power cord from an
AC outlet.
Turn over projector and remove the air filters by pulling the
latches upward.
1
2
Air filters help prevent dust from accumulating on the optical elements \
inside the projector. To whatever extent
the air filters become clogged with dust particles, the cooling fans’\
 effectiveness is reduced, which may result in
an internal heat build-up and adversely affect the life of the projector\
. Therefore, for appropriate care and use of
the projector, regular cleaning of the air filters is necessary.
How often the air filters should be cleaned really depends upon the envi\
ronment in which the projector is being
operated. As a rough guide, under a normally clean operating environment\
, the air filters should be cleaned
approximately every 200 hours of use. However, if the projector is being\
 operated in a somewhat dusty or
smoky environment, the air filters should be cleaned more often; for con\
sistently good projector operation and
performance, timely cleaning of the air filters is a very important fact\
or. When appropriate, clean the air filters
following the steps below.
Clean the air filters with a brush or rinse them softly. When
rinsing the air filters, dry them well.3
Replace the air filters properly. Make sure that the air filters
are fully inserted to the projector.4
CAUTION
Do not operate the projector with the air filters
removed. Dust may accumulate on the LCD Panel and
projection mirror degrading the picture quality. Do not
put anything into the air intake vents. It may result in
malfunction of the projector.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments when operating the projec\
tor. Usage in these environments
may cause a poor image quality.
When using the projector under dusty or smoky conditions, dust may accum\
ulate on a lens, liquid crystal panels, or optical
elements inside the projector. Such condition may degrade the quality of\
 the projected image.
When the symptoms above are noticed, contact your authorized dealer or s\
ervice station for proper cleaning.

Turn off the projector and unplug the AC power cord from an AC outlet.
APPENDIX
NOTE: I f  the dust cannot be removed by
cleaning, it is probably time to replace
the air filters with new ones. Please
consult your dealer.

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 lifetime may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environm\
ent of use. There is no
guarantee of the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or ter\
minate their lifetime in a
shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
●If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if th\
e 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 manua\
l.) Continuous use of the
lamp with the LAMP REPLACE indicator lighted may increase the risk of la\
mp explosion.  
●Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a res\
ult 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 ou\
tlet 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 a\
round the projector or coming out
from the cooling air circulation holes. Any broken shards found should b\
e 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 u\
nit by anyone, especially those who
are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or inj\
ury caused by pieces of broken
glass.
