Safety Instructions
Openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation.
To ensure reliable operation of the product and to
protect it from overheating, these openings must not
be blocked or covered. 
CAUTION
Hot air is exhausted from the exhaust vent. When
using or installing the projector, the following
precautions should be taken. 
–Do not put any flammable object or spray can near
the projector, hot air is exhausted from the air
vents.
– Keep the exhaust vent at least 3’ (1 m) away from
any objects.
– Do not touch peripheral parts of the exhaust vent,
especially screws and metallic parts. These areas
will become hot while the projector is being used.
– Do not put anything on the cabinet. Objects put on
the cabinet will not only get damaged but also may
cause fire hazard by heat.
Cooling fans are provided to cool down the projector.
The fans’ running speed is changed according to the
temperature inside the projector.
Air Circulation
Exhaust Vent
(Hot air exhaust)
Air Intake Vent
Air flow
The projector uses a lamp which generates significant
heat. The cooling fans and air vents are provided to
dissipate the heat by drawing air into the housing and
the filter is located in the intake vents to prevent dust
from getting inside of the projector.
In order to care for the projector appropriately, regular
cleaning is required. Remove any dirt or dust that has
accumulated on the projector and on or in the filter.
If the projector detects that the filter is clogged, a
“Filter warning” icon (red) will appear on the screen
and “WARNING FILTER” indicator on the top panel
will blink (see below). Stop using the projector
immediately and clean or replace the filter.
Blocking the air vents and leaving the projector
uncleaned for a long time may not only damage the
projector and may require costly repairs but may also
cause accidents or fire.
For maintenance of the filter, refer to “Filter counter”
on page 62 and “Maintenance and Filter Cleaning” on
pages 63–64.
Damages to the projector caused by using an
uncleaned filter or improper maintenance will void
the warranty on the projector.
IMPORTANT!
Clean the Filter Regularly!!
Filter warning icon (red) appears on the screen
when the projector detects filter clogging.
