Digital Projection Showlite 3000sx, 4000gv User Manual

							After your lamp has been operating for 1500 hours or longer (2000 hours in Eco
mode), the ÔStatusÕ indicator on the cabinet will illuminate and the message ÔThe
Lamp has reached the end of its usable life. Please replace the lampÕ will appear.
Even though the lamp is still operational, for optimal performance of the projector,
it is recommended that the lamp is changed at this time.
The projector will turn off and go into standby mode after 1600 hours of 
service (2100 hours in Eco mode). Should this happen, replace the lamp 
immediately. If you continue to use the lamp it may shatter and pieces of glass
could be scattered inside the lamp housing.
Do not touch the lamp immediately after it has been in use. It will be extremely
hot. Turn the projector off, wait 3 minutes and disconnect the power cable. Then
allow at least 1 hour for the lamp to cool down.
Do not remove any screws except the lamp cover screw and the two lamp housing
screws. 
REMOVING THE LAMP
Loosen the lamp cover screw until the screwdriver goes into a freewheeling 
condition then remove the lamp cover.

							The air filter sponge keeps the inside of the projector free from dust or dirt in the
atmosphere and should be cleaned every 100 hours of operation. If your filter is
dirty or clogged, your projector may overheat.
Before attempting to clean or replace the filter, turn off the projector and wait until
the projector fan stops operating. Then remove the mains lead from the projector
and clean all the dust and dirt of the projector cabinet.
To remove the filter, pull out the filter by pushing up on the catch. The filter can be
cleaned by using a vacuum hose. Install the new/cleaned filter by slotting back into
place and pushing down to secure.
Do not detach the sponge from the filter.
Do not wash the filter with soap and water as this will damage the filter 
membrane.
When first starting the projector after cleaning/replacing the filter, enter the menu
system and reset the filter time clock. To reset the filter time clock on a 3000sx 
projector select Projector Options > Setup > Page 6 > Clean Filter Usage. For a
4000gv projector select Menu > Projector Options > Setup > Page 4 > Clear Filter
Usage.
