The Status LED Codes 
If the status code display on the back of the projector shows one of the following 
values, you have encountered a likely system error requiring the attention of a 
qualified service technician (see System Warnings and System Errors, above). 
Acknowledge and clear the error with 
Exit Exit from presentation level, or try 
resetting the projector by powering it off and on again, cooling when necessary. 
Consult Table 3.5 and contact your dealer if the problem persists. 
The specific code number identifies the source of the error detected, and is 
particularly useful in cases where the projector is far away. For example, the code 
“27” means the lamp could not be turned on. Error codes for this projector are listed in 
Table 3.5 below.

The projector is an international regulatory agency approved product designed for safe 
and reliable operation. To assure complete safety at all times it is important to 
acknowledge the following precautions while operating the projector.  
 WARNING  
Always power down the projector using appropriate procedure 
and disconnect all power sources before cleaning or servicing. 
 WARNING  
Always remove the lens when shipping the projector. 
 WARNING  
NEVER look directly into the projector lens.  
The high brightness of this projector 
could cause permanent eye damage. 
 WARNING  
For protection from ultraviolet radiation, 
keep all projector shielding intact during operation. 
CAUTION  
Qualified personnel should perform installation ONLY. 
Observe and follow all warnings and instructions marked on the projector. 
The exclamation point within the equilateral triangle alerts the user to 
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the 
literature accompanying the projector. 
The lightning flash and arrowhead symbol within the equilateral triangle 
alerts the user to uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the projector’s 
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of 
electric shock.

• Do not operate the projector close to water, such as near a swimming pool. Do not 
operate in extremely humid environments. 
• Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand or table. A projector and cart 
combination should be used with care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven 
surfaces may cause the projector and cart combination to overturn. 
• Only use Christie-approved ceiling mount fixture, if the projector is to be ceiling 
mounted.  
Lamp: The projector uses a Cermax® Xenon lamp to deliver its high brightness. A 
lamp should be replaced when it has reached its end of life or if a noticeable change in 
brightness occurs. Keep track of the number of hours the lamp has been in use (Lamp 
Menu) and be aware of any changes to brightness. These indicators will help you 
effectively maintain operation of the projector.  
 WARNING  
Wait approximately five minutes after powering down the 
projector to allow internal cooling fans to stop and for the 
lamp to cool sufficiently before removing.  
Never attempt to remove the lamp housing directly 
after use. The lamp is under great pressure when hot 
and may explode, causing personal injury and/or 
property damage. Allow cooling completely. 
 WARNING  
Use only lamps supplied by Christie. Use lamps of the correct 
wattage for your projector model when replacing. 
Filter: Replace the filter when you replace the lamp or sooner if required. It is 
important the filter be replaced regularly to ensure sufficient airflow through the 
projector, otherwise it could cause the projector to overheat.  
  WARNING  
Use only filters supplied by Christie. 
Refer to 4.4 Lamp and Filter Replacement for instructions. 
 The North American rated line cord is provided with each projector. Ensure 
that you are using a line cord, socket and power plug that meets the 
appropriate local rating standards.
 
Use only the attachments and/or accessories recommended by Christie. Use of others 
may result in the risk of fire, shock or personal injury. 
 WARNING  
Use only an AC power cord recommended by Christie. Do not attempt 
operation if the AC supply and cord are not within the specified voltage 
and power range.

• Do not set or rest items on the power cord. Place the projector in an area where 
the projector cord cannot be abused or damaged by persons walking on it or by 
objects rolling over it. 
• Operate the projector at the specified voltage only. Do not overload power outlets 
and extension cords as this can result in fire or shock hazards. 
• The projector is equipped with a three-wire plug having a third grounding pin. 
This is a safety feature – if you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet contact 
an electrician to have the outlet replaced. Do not defeat the safety purpose of this 
grounding-type plug.  
 
Slots and vents in the projector provide ventilation. Never block or cover these 
openings. This ensures reliable operation of the projector and prevents overheating.  
• Do not place the projector over a radiator or heat register. The projector should 
not be placed in an enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided. 
• Do not insert objects into the ventilation openings of the projector. They may 
touch dangerous voltages or short-out components resulting in a fire or shock 
hazard. Do not spill liquids of any kind into the projector. Should an accidental 
spill occur, immediately unplug the projector and have it serviced by a qualified 
service technician. 
If any of the following conditions exist, immediately unplug the projector from the 
power outlet and ask a qualified service technician to look at it. 
• The power cord has been damaged. 
• The internal cooling fans do not turn on within two minutes when the projector is 
first powered up.  
• Liquid has been spilled into the projector. 
• The projector has been exposed to excessive moisture. 
• The projector is not operating normally or its performance has significantly 
deteriorated in a short period of time. 
• The projector has been dropped or the shipping case (if applicable) has been badly 
damaged. 
 WARNING  
Do not attempt to service the projector yourself. All 
servicing must be performed by Christie accredited 
service technicians. 
Use replacement parts that are manufacturer-approved 
only. Use of any other part other than the ones specified 
by the manufacturer can result in fire, electric shock or 
risk of personal injury and irreparable equipment 
damage.

Table 4.1. Maintenance Guide 
Part Description Frequency Action 
Lens   As required  Clean the lens only when absolutely 
necessary. A small amount of dust on the 
lens has very little effect on picture quality. 
To clean: Use a soft lint-free cloth without 
any chemicals. Use only a high-quality 
coated optics cleaning fluid, which can be 
purchased from most camera supply stores. 
Apply the coated optics fluid directly onto 
the lint-free cloth until moistened. Wipe in a 
single sweep across the surface of the lens. 
To avoid scratching the lens do not
 scrub or 
rub in a circular motion. Discard the cloth 
after every use.  Do not use cleaning tools 
treated with Ether. Do not use cleaning 
solvents that contain ammonia. Use 
compressed air to remove any particles 
remaining on the lens. 
As required CLEAN: Clean if absolutely necessary. 
Never touch the glass surface of the lamp. 
Fingerprints left on the glass will seriously 
degrade lamp performance or cause 
“hotspots” which can lead to an 
accumulation of intense heat in the touched 
area and cause the lamp to shatter. 
To clean: Wait until lamp is cool. Moisten a 
clean, lint-free cotton cloth with isopropyl 
alcohol and gently rub the surface of the 
glass in a circular motion until clean.

Filters 
Whenever a lamp is 
replaced or sooner 
if required REPLACE: Do not reuse old filters. Use the 
filter provided in the Christie Lamp and 
Filter Kit.  
Covers (External)  As required 
CLEAN: Clean dust from external covers 
using a clean, lint free cotton cloth as 
required.  
NOTE: Before cleaning the modules, it is 
recommended that you install the lens cap. 
This will keep dust particles from settling on 
the glass surface of the lens. 
 
 
 WARNING  
Proper face shield and protective gloves are required if 
the lamp module is removed from the projector.

The IR Remote Keypad uses two AA size, 1.5V batteries (preferably alkaline). To 
install new batteries:  
1) Open the battery 
compartment at the backside 
of the keypad by placing your 
thumb in the oval depression 
and sliding the cover out about 
½ inch. See Figure 4.1. 
Remove the old batteries and 
properly discard. Wait a 
minute or two.  
2) Place the new batteries in 
the compartment, orienting the 
positive/negative of each 
battery according to the labels in the compartment. When the batteries are in place, 
replace the cover by placing the cover ½ inch from its closed position and slide it into 
place. Do not force the cover.  
NOTE: Always wait a minute or two when replacing batteries so that the internal 
electronics discharge and can recognize the change. 
 
Use the following instructions when replacing the lamp. The lamp is located at the 
back of the projector (below the input panel) and can be accessed by removing the 
lamp access panel. Use only the Christie approved Lamp and Filter Kit for your 
specific projector model. See Table 4.2 below.

A lamp should be replaced when it reaches its end of life or sooner if a noticeable 
degradation in brightness occurs (typical in aging lamps). You can set the number of 
hours you expect to log with the lamp before replacing it, by setting the Lamp Limit 
in the Lamp menu. The LED’s next to the built-in keypad will flash “LP” when lamp 
time has expired. You can also enable a warning message to appear upon powering up 
the projector that will indicate the lamp has reached the limit you set, by entering a 
checkmark beside the Lamp Message option.  
NOTE: The lamp mode you choose to run the projector in may have an impact on the 
number of hours expected for the lamp. 
Tools required: #2 Phillips screwdriver  
Warnings 
 A qualified service technician must perform lamp replacement. 
 Cool the lamp completely and handle by the housing only. 
 Install the correct wattage lamp supplied by Christie (see above) and read the 
Lamp Replacement procedure in its entirety before proceeding.  
 Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp. Fingerprints left on the surface can 
lead to an intense accumulation of heat called a “hotspot”, which could 
potentially result in the lamp shattering. It is recommended you wear clean, lint-
free gloves and a face shield when working with the lamp.
