The projector is shut down and the WARNING indicator is blinking red.
When the temperature inside the projector reaches a certain level,
the projector will be automatically shut down to protect the inside
of the projector. The POWER indicator is blinking while the
projector is being cooled down. When the projector has cooled
down sufficiently (to its normal operating temperature), it can be

✔Note:
• The WARNING indicator continues to blink after the temperature inside the
projector returns to normal. When the projector is turned on again, the WARNING
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
ventilation slots are not blocked.
–Is the projector not installed near the ventilation duct of air-
conditioning equipment that may be hot? Install the projector
away from the ventilation duct of air-conditioning equipment. 
–Are the air filters clean? Clean the air filters periodically. (p46)

Air filters
Pull up and remove.
Turn off the projector, and unplug the AC power cord from
an AC outlet.
Turn the projector upside down and remove the air filters by
pulling the latches upward.

Air filters prevent dust from accumulating on the surface of the optical elements inside the projector. Should the air filters
become clogged with dust particles, it reduces the effectiveness of cooling fans and may result in a buildup of internal heat
and adversely affect the life of the projector. Clean the air filters by following the steps below.
Clean the air filters with a brush or rinse them softly.3
When rinsing the air filters, dry them well. Replace the air
filters properly. Make sure that the air filters are fully inserted
to the projector.4
CAUTION
Do not operate the projector with the air filters removed.
Dust may accumulate on the LCD panel degrading the
picture quality of the projection mirror. Do not put
anything into the air intake vents. It may result in
malfunction of the projector.
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, LCD panels, or optical elements inside
the projector. Such conditions may degrade the quality of a
projected image.
When the symptoms above are noticed, contact your authorized
dealer or service station for proper cleaning.
Cleaning the Air Filters
✔Note:
• When reinserting this air filter,
be sure that the slit part is
facing the outer side.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Unplug the AC power cord before cleaning.
When the projector is not in use, replace the lens cover.
Unplug the AC power cord before cleaning.
Gently wipe the projector body with a dry soft cloth. When the
cabinet is heavily soiled, apply a small amount of mild detergent
and finish with a dry soft cloth. Avoid using an excessive amount
of cleaner. Abrasive cleaners, solvents, or other harsh chemicals
might scratch the surface of the cabinet.
When the projector is not in use, put it in an appropriate carrying
case to protect it from dust and scratches.
Gently wipe the projection lens with a cleaning cloth that contains
a small amount of non-abrasive cleaner for camera lens, or use
lens cleaning paper or a commercially available air blower to clean
the lens. Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner. Abrasive
cleaners, solvents, or other harsh chemicals might scratch the
surface of the lens.
Maintenance & Cleaning
When moving the projector or while it is not in use over an
extended period of time, replace the lens cover.

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
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.
●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.  
●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.

–Make sure you have properly connected the projector to peripheral equipment as described in Connecting to a Computer
and “Connecting to Video Equipment” on  pages 15 and 16. 
–Make sure all equipment is connected to an AC outlet and the power is turned on.
–When you operate the projector with a computer and it does not project an image, restart the computer.  
Appendix
Problem:–Solutions
No power–Plug the power cord of the projector into the AC outlet.
–See if the POWER indicator lights red.
–Wait 90-120 seconds after the projector is turned off to restart the projector.
The projector can be turned on after the POWER indicator turns red.  
(See “Turning Off the Projector” on page 18.)
–Check the WARNING indicator. If the WARNING indicator emits red light, 
the projector cannot be turned on. (See Warning Indicator on page 45.)

when connecting to a projector. See your computer’s instruction manual for 
the setting. 
–It takes about 20 seconds to display an image after turning on the projector.
–See if the selected system is corresponding to your computer or video 
equipment. (See page 25 and 33)
