This chapter describes the simple maintenance procedures you
should follow to replace the lamp and the filter, and to clean the
filter and the cabinet.
z Replacing the Lamp
The projector has two lamps. The lamp replacement procedure
applies to both lamps. After your lamp 1 and 2 has been operat-
ing for 2000 hours (Normal mode on the standard life lamp) or
longer, the Lamp indicator in the cabinet will blink red and the
message will appear. Even though the lamp may still be working,
replace it as soon as possible to maintain optimal projector
performance.
NOTE: Be sure to use the same lamp type for both lamp 1 and 2.
CAUTION•DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will
be extremely hot. Turn the projector off, wait 90 seconds (2 minutes in
the optional Long Life lamp 001-716), turn off the main power switch,
and then disconnect the power cable. Allow at least one hour for the
lamp to cool before handling.
•DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except the lamp cover screw and
the two lamp case screws. You could receive an electric shock.
•The projector will turn off and go into stand by mode after 2100 hours
(Normal mode on the standard life lamp) of service. If this happens, be
sure to replace the lamp. If you continue to use the lamp after 2000
hours (Normal mode on the standard life lamp) of use, the lamp bulb
may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp housing.
Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this hap-
pens, contact your Digital Projection dealer for lamp replacement.
•When Dual is selected in Lamp Select of Lamp Settings, replace
both lamp 1 and 2 at the same time so that the projector can keep the
color of projected image even.
To replace the lamp:1. Loosen the lamp cover screw until the screwdriver goes into a free-
wheeling condition and remove the lamp cover. The lamp cover screw
is not removable.
2. Loosen the two screws securing the lamp housing until the screwdriver
goes into a freewheeling condition. The two screws are not removable.
Remove the lamp housing by pulling out the handle.
Interlock
3. Insert a new lamp housing until the lamp housing is plugged into the
socket.
CAUTION: Do not use a lamp other than the Digital Projection replace-
ment lamp (Standard life lamp: 001-715 or Long Life lamp: 001-716).
4.Secure it in place with the two screws.
Be sure to tighten the screws.
5. Reattach the lamp cover.
9. Maintenance
6. Tighten the lamp cover screw. Be sure to tighten the screw.
NOTE: Replacing a new lamp automatically clears the lamp usage hours.
NOTE: The lamp housing has an EEPROM chip memorizing its amount of usage
hours. You can check the amount usage hours in Information of the menu. (The
standard lamp and the optional lamp have an EEPROM chip in it so that when you
remove it, your lamp usage hours are saved in its own memory. The projector
reads the lamp usage hours from the EEPROM chip to display them in Information
of the menu.)
NOTE: There is an interlock on this case to prevent the risk of electrical shock. Donot attempt to circumvent this interlock.

x Replacing or Cleaning the Filter
To replace the filter:
•Replace both filters at the same time.
•Before replacing the filters, remove dust and dirt from the pro-
jector cabinet.
•The projector contains high-precision parts. Keep out dust and
dirt during filter replacement.
•Do not wash the filter with water. Water will damage the filter
membrane.
•Reattach the filter cover correctly. Failure to do so may cause
projector malfunction.
Preparation: Replace the lamp before replacing the filters.
1. Pull out the filter cover by pushing up on the catch.
The Please clean the filters message will be displayed each
time the projector is turned on after it has been used in excess of
168 hours. Should this message appear, clean the filters.
NOTE:
*The message can be turned on or off using the Message option on the Setup
menu. See page 8-14.
*After cleaning the filters and resetting the filter usage time back to zero, the mes-
sage will not be displayed.
See page 8-17 for resetting the filter usage time.
9. Maintenance
(This must be done to the filters on both left and right.)

2. Place the new filter on the filter cover in the correct direction.
3. Reinstall the filter cover. (This must be done to both left and right)
4. Plug the power cable into a wall outlet and turn on the projector.
5. Reset the filter usage hours to zero.
Select [Menu] 
→ [Projector Options] → [Setup] → [Page 5] → [Clear
Filter Usage Meter] → [OK]. Press the ENTER button.
The air-filter sponge prevents dust or dirt from getting the inside
of the projector and should be cleaned after every 100 hours of
operation (more often in dusty conditions). If the filter is dirty or
clogged, your projector may overheat.
CAUTION
•Turn off the power, wait for 90 seconds (2 minutes in the optional Long
Life lamp 001-716), turn off the main power and unplug the projector
before replacing the filter.
•Do not attempt to operate the projector without filter.
•Your projector will not operate unless the filter cover is installed cor-
rectly.
To clean the filter:
Pull out the filter by pushing up on the catch. Vacuum the filter-
through the filter.

1. Turn off the projector before cleaning.
2. Clean the cabinet periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled, use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol
or thinner.
3. Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to scratch or mar the lens.
