RECOMMENDATION
  We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments when 
operating the projector. Usage in these environments may 
cause a poor image quality.
  When using the projector under dusty or smoky conditions, 
dust may accumulate on a lens, liquid crystal panels, or 
optical elements inside the projector. Such condition may 
degrade the quality of the projected image.
  When the symptoms above are noticed, contact your 
authorized dealer or service station for proper cleaning.
Put the new one back into the position and rotate back
the  handle.  Make  sure  that  the  filter  cartridge  is 
properly  and  fully  inserted.  Close  the  filter  cover  and

Cleaning the Projector Cabinet
CAUTION
Do not use any flammable solvents or air sprays 
on the projector and in its vicinity. The explosion 
or fire hazard may occur even after the AC power 
cord is unplugged because the temperature inside 
the projector is extremely high due to the lamps. In 
addition, there is a risk that the internal parts may 
be damaged not only by the flammable air spray but 
also by the cold air.

Maintenance and Cleaning
When the projection lamp of the projector reaches its end of 
life, the Lamp replacement icon appears on the screen and 
LAMP REPLACE indicator lights yellow. Replace the lamp with 
a new one promptly. The timing when the LAMP REPLACE 
indicator should light is depending on the lamp mode.
Follow these steps to replace the lamp.
For continued safety, replace with a lamp of the 
same type. Do not drop a lamp or touch a glass 
bulb! The glass can shatter and may cause injury.
Allow a projector to cool for at least 45 minutes 
before you open the Lamp Cover. The inside of 
the projector can become very hot.
CAUTION
Turn off the projector and disconnect the AC power 
cord. Allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes.

When replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating, there is a \
possibility that the lamp may be broken.
If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed on the ceiling, you should always assume that 
the  lamp  is  broken,  and  you  should  stand  to  the  side  of  the  lamp  cover,  not  underneath  it.  Remove  the 
lamp cover gently. Small pieces of glass may fall out when the lamp cover is opened. If pieces of glass get 
into your eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.
Note:

  if the projection lamp of the projector reaches its end of 
  life, the lamp replacement icon appears on the screen, 
  and  the projector is turned off automatically after 3 minutes.

Maintenance and Cleaning
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 hazard.
● Lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no guarantee 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  life  in  a  shorter  period  of  time 
than other similar lamps.
●�f the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced�� i.e.��if the L�MP REPL�CE indicator lights  If  the  projector  indicates  that  the  lamp  should  be  replaced,  i.e.,  if  the  LAMP  REPLACE  indicator  lights 
up, replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down.  
   (Follow  carefully  the  instructions  in  the  Lamp  Replacement  section  of  this  manual.)  Continuous  use  of 
the lamp with the LAMP REPLACE indicator lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.  
● � Lamp may e�plode as a result of vibration�� shoc��or degradation as a result of hours of use as its  A  Lamp  may  explode  as  a  result  of  vibration,  shock  or  degradation  as  a  result  of  hours  of  use  as  its 
lifetime  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  outlet  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 around the projector or coming out 
from  the  cooling  air  circulation  holes.  Any  broken  shards  found  should  be  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  unit  by  anyone,  especially  those 
who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of broken 
glass.
