Maintaining and 
Transporting the Projector
Your projector needs little maintenance. All you need to do on a 
regular basis is keep the lens clean. Any dirt or smears on the lens may 
show up on your projected image. 
You also need to periodically clean the air filter on the side of the 
projector. A clogged air filter can block ventilation needed to cool the 
projector and cause overheating. 
The only parts you should replace are the lamp and air filter. If...

the projector. To clean the air filter, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the projector, allow it to cool down, and unplug the 
power cord.
2. To prevent dust from falling into the projector, place the...

Replacing the Lamp 
The projection lamp typically lasts for about 1500 hours of use. It is 
time to replace the lamp when:
■The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
■The   warning light is red, flashing red, or flashing orange. 
■The message LAMP REPLACE appears on the screen when the 
lamp comes on (after about 1400 hours of use). To maintain 
projector brightness and image quality, replace the lamp as soon 
as possible.
