Maintenance and Filter Cleaning
In order to care for the projector appropriately, regular maintenance is\
 required. The
instructions described here will help minimize the need for optical clea\
ning, reduce
the likelihood of costly repairs, and maximize lamp life.
The projector uses a lamp which generates significant heat and thus requ\
ires a large
amount of air to be drawn through the filter to cool the units. When the\
 filter starts
to clog, not enough air will be drawn into the projector housing. 
Remove any dirt or dust on surface of the projector and on the filter re\
gularly and
keep them clean
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments when you operate the
projector. Usage in these environments may cause poor image quality.
IMPORTANT NOTICE ON MAINTENANCE OF THE FILTER
MAINTAIN THE FILTER by using the Filter counter function in the menu.
Clean the filter regularly. The frequency of cleaning the filter depends\
 on the
environment in which you use the projector If you use the projector in a\
n office or
home every day, we recommend that you clean the filter once a week (or \
about
every 200 hours). See “Filter counter” in the Setting Menu for de\
tails.
If the projector detects that the filter is clogged, a “Filter warnin\
g” icon (red) will
appear on the screen and “WARNING FILTER” indicator on the top pan\
el will
blink. Stop using the projector immediately and clean or replace the fil\
ter.
After cleaning or replacing the filter, make sure to reset the filter co\
unter. The
Filter warning icon and WARNING FILTER indicator will not turn off until\
 the filter
is cleaned or replaced. 
See “WARNING FILTER indicator” on page 74. 
						

							64
Maintenance and Filter Cleaning
Turn off the projector, and unplug the AC power cord
from the AC outlet.
First, clean up the dust on the projector and around the
air vents.

Filter prevents dust from accumulating on the optical elements inside th\
e projector. Should the filter becomes
clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans’ effectivene\
ss and may result in internal heat buildup and
adversely affect the life of the projector. If a “Filter warning” \
icon (yellow or red) appears on the screen and the
WARNING FILTER indicator lights or blinks, clean the filter immediately.\
 Clean the filter by following the steps
below.
Pull out the filter cover from the projector and then
remove the filter.3
Reinstall the filter into the projector properly.5
CAUTION
Do not operate the projector with the filter
removed. Dust may accumulate on the optical
elements degrading picture quality.
Do not put anything into the air vents. Doing so
may result in malfunction of the projector.
Gently clean the filter by using a brush or blower.
WARNING: Do not wash the filter with water and
any other liquid matter. Otherwise the filter may
be damaged.4
Reset the filter counter in the Setting Menu. See
“Resetting the Filter Counter” below.6

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 haza\
rd.
●Lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment \
of use. There is no guarantee of the same life for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their l\
ife 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 lightsup, replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has \
cooled down.  
(Follow carefully the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of t\
his manual.) Continuous use of
the lamp with the LAMP REPLACE indicator lighted may increase the risk o\
f lamp explosion.  
●A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a r\
esult of hours of use as itslifetime 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. Additionally, check
carefully to ensure that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass a\
round the projector or coming out
from the cooling air circulation holes. Any broken shards found should b\
e cleaned up carefully. No one
should check the inside of the projector except those who are authorized\
 trained technicians and who are
familiar with projector service. Inappropriate attempts to service the u\
nit by anyone, especially those who
are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or inj\
ury caused by pieces of broken
glass.

The WARNING indicators show the state of the function which protects the\
 projector. Check the state of the
WARNING indicators and the POWER indicator to take proper maintenance. 
Wa rn ing Indicators
The projector is shut down and the WARNING
TEMP. indicator is blinking red.
When the temperature inside the projector reaches a
certain level, the projector will be automatically shut down

the projector has cooled down enough (to its normal
operating temperature), it can be turned on again by
pressing the ON/STAND-BY button.
✔Note:
• The WARNING TEMP. indicator continues to blink even after the
temperature inside the projector returns to normal. When the
projector is turned on again, the WARNING TEMP. indicator stops
blinking. 
Then check the matters below:
– Did you provide appropriate space for the projector to be
ventilated? Check the installing condition to see if the air
vents of the projector are not blocked.
– Has the projector been installed near an Air-Conditioning/
Heating Duct or Vent? Move the installation of the
projector away from the duct or vent.
– Is the filter clean? Clean the filter periodically or replace it
with a new one.
The projector is shut down and all five indicators
are blinking.
When the projector detects an abnormal condition, it will be
automatically shut down to protect the inside of the
projector and all five indicators on the top panel blink. In this
case, unplug the AC power cord and plug it, and then turn
on the projector once again to verify operation. If the
projector cannot be turned on and these indicators are still
blinking, unplug the AC power cord and contact the service
station.
CAUTION
