Filter Instructions
Filter prevents dust from accumulating on the optical elements inside the projector\
. Should the filter becomes 
clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans’ effectiveness and may result in internal heat buildup 
and adversely affect the life of the projector. This projector has an electrically operated filter which helps you to 
replace the filter easily. The projector monitors the condition of the filter at all time and replac\
es a filter with a 
new one automatically when it detects the clogging. 
If the projector reaches a time set in the timer setting (p. 
55), a Filter replacement icon (Fig.1) appears on the screen 
and the WARNING FILTER indicator on the top panel lights 
up (p.70). When you see this icon, replace the filter as soon 
as possible (pp.29, 51) and reset the Filter counter (p.58). If 
the filter is out of scroll and the projector reaches a time set 
in the timer setting, Fig. 2 appears on the screen, indicating 
that the filter cartridge replacement is necessary.
When the filter scroll is counted down to 1, the Last scroll 
icon (Fig.3) appears on the screen, indicating that there is 
one scroll left in the filter cartridge (p.55).
If the projector detects that the filter is clogged and no scroll 
is left in the filter cartridge, a Filter cartridge replacement 
icon (Fig. 4) appears on the screen and the WARNING 
FILTER indicator on the top panel lights up (p.70). When you 
see this icon, replace the filter cartridge (p.57) and reset the 
Filter counter (p.58) and the Scroll counter (p.58).
When the filter is being scrolled using the remote control 
(p.29) or the Filter control function in the setting menu 
(p.51), a Filter replacement icon and “Please wait...” 
message (Fig.5) appear on the screen and the WARNING 
FILTER indicator blinks slow (approx. 2 seconds ON, 2 
seconds OFF) (p.69).
The WARNING FILTER indicator blinks fast when the 
projector detects an abnormal condition, the filter cartridge 
is not installed properly, or the filter scroll is not working 
properly (p.70).
