The projector is shut down and WARNING TEMP indicator is
blinking red.
The WARNING TEMP indicator slowly blinks red to let you know
the internal temperature of the projector exceeds the normal level.
If the temperature goes up further, the WARNING TEMP indicator
turns fast blinking and then the projector will be turned off
automatically.  Then, the READY indicator will go out, but the
WARNING TEMP indicator keeps blinking red.  When the
temperature inside the projector returns to normal, the READY
indicator lights green and then the projector can be turned on.  If
the WARNING TEMP indicator still keeps blinking after the
projector is turned on, check the followings; 
✔Note:
Even after the temperature inside the projector returns to normal, the W\
ARNING
TEMP indicator continues to blink and does not go out until the projecto\
r is turned on
again.

When the projector detects an abnormal condition, it is
automatically shut down to protect the inside and all the Indicators
except the LAMP indicator start blinking.  In this case, disconnect
the AC power cord and reconnect it, and then turn the projector on
once again for check.  If the projector cannot be turned on,
disconnect the AC power cord and contact service station for
check and repair.

Maintenance and Cleaning
– Did you provide appropriate space for the projector to be
ventilated?  Check the installing condition to see if ventilation
slots are not blocked.
– Is the projector not installed near the ventilation duct of air-
conditioning equipment which may be hot? Install the
projector away from the ventilation duct of air-conditioning
equipment. 
– Are the air filter clean?  Check the air filter periodically.  (p63)

RECOMMENDATION
We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments when
operating a projector.  Usage in these environments may
cause poor image quality.
When using under dusty or smoky conditions, dust may
accumulate on liquid crystal panel, lens, or optical elements inside
it.  This condition may degrade quality of projected image.
When above symptoms are noticed, contact your authorized
dealer or service station for proper cleaning.
Pulling down the tabs on both sides top of the filter cover,
open the projector cover.
Pull out the air filter from the projector.
Replace the new air filter and the filter cover properly onto
the projector.
Reset the Filter time.See “Filter” in the Special menu on
p59.5
Filter cover
CAUTION
Do not operate a projector with Air Filter removed.  Dust
may accumulate on LCD Panel and Mirror degrading
picture quality.
Do not put small parts into Air Intake Vents. It may result
in malfunction of a projector.

Air Filter Replacement

Air filter
Air filters prevent dust from accumulating on the surface of the optical\
 elements inside the projector.  Should the air filters
become clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans’ effe\
ctiveness and may result in internal heat build up and
adversely affect the life of the projector.  Proper maintenance should b\
e taken.

TOP CONTROL
WARNING FILTER
lights orange
This projector can monitor the filter condition.  When the filter is
clogged with dust and the performance is degraded, the
WARNING FILTER indicator lights orange and let you know the
filter replacement is required.   
If the indicator is lighting orange, turn off the projector and replace
the air filter immediately.
Using the projector with the WARNING FILTER indicator lighting
may result in internal heat build up and cause damage to the
optical elements inside the projector.  The projector will shutdown
automatically to protect itself when the projectors inside
temperature is abnormally high.  
WARNING FILTER Indicator
Maintenance & Cleaning
✔Note:
• The projector cannot be operated with the air filter removed; it will shut down automatically if the air filter is removed
while the projector is operating.
• Used in a place where the air pressure is relatively low such as highlands, the WARNING FILTER indicator may light
orange even the air filter is clean.

When ordering the replacement air filter, give the following information\
 to the dealer.

Maintenance and Cleaning
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 terminate their life\
time 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 cool\
ed 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 la\
mp explosion.  
● A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a r\
esult 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. Additiona\
lly, check carefully to ensure that there are
no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out f\
rom 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 project\
or service. Inappropriate attempts to service
the unit by anyone, especially those who are not appropriately trained t\
o do so, may result in an accident or injury
caused by pieces of broken glass.  
ORDER REPLACEMENT LAMP
Replacement Lamp can be ordered through your dealer.  When ordering a Pr\
ojection Lamp, give the following
information to the dealer.
●Model No. of your projector   : 38-VIV305-01 / 38-VIV304-01
●Replacement Lamp Type No. : 03-000881-01P

Follow these steps to clean the projection lens.
Disconnect the AC power cord before cleaning.1
Softly wipe the projector body with a soft, dry cleaning cloth.
When it is heavily soiled, use a small amount of mild
detergent and finish with a soft, dry cleaning cloth.  Avoid
using an excessive amount of cleaner.  Abrasive cleaners,
solvents, or other harsh chemicals might scratch the surface.2
Follow these steps to clean the projector cabinet.
When the projector is not in use, put the projector in an
appropriate carrying case to protect it from dust and
scratches.3
Softly wipe the projection lens with a cleaning cloth that
contains a small amount of non-abrasive camera lens
cleaner, or use lens cleaning paper or a commercially
available air blower to clean the lens.  Avoid using an
excessive amount of cleaner.  Abrasive cleaners, solvents, or
other harsh chemicals might scratch the surface.

When mounting the projector on the ceiling, connect the front
cover to the projector with the provided cord cover strap to avoid
the front cover from falling down.
