Installation MethodsThe projector supports the following four different projection methods.    
Attention A special method of installation is required when suspending the 
projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed 
correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
 If you use adhesives on the ceiling mount to prevent the screws 
from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on 
the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from 
its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under 
the ceiling mount and could damage the projector. 
When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use 
adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils 
or lubricants and so on. 
 Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions 
to occur. 
 Project images from in front 
of the screen. (Front 
projection) Project images from behind a 
translucent screen. (Rear

CleaningYou should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of 
projected images starts to deteriorate. Cleaning the Projectors Surface
Clean the projectors surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth. 
If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water 
containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the 
cloth dry before using it to wipe the projectors surface. 
Cleaning the Lens
Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning classes to gently wipe the 
lens. 
Cleaning the Air Filter and Air Intake Vent
Clean the air filter and the air intake vent when the following message is 
displayed.
The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent, 
and clean or replace the air filter. sHow to replace the air filter p.78AttentionDo not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to 
clean the projectors surface. The quality of the case may change or 
become discoloured.AttentionDo not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to 
shocks, as it can easily become damaged.
AttentionIf dust collects on the air filter it can cause the internal temperature 
of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation 
and shorten the optical engines service life. Clean the air filter 
immediately when the message is displayed.q
 If a message is frequently displayed, even after cleaning, it 
is time to replace the air filter. Replace it with a new air 
filter. 
s
p.78
 It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once 
every three months. Clean them more often than this if 
using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.

Replacing ConsumablesThis section explains how to replace the remote control batteries, the 
lamp, and the air filter. Replacing the Remote Control Batteries
If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not 
operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the 
batteries are becoming flat. When this happens, replace them with new 
batteries. Have two spare AAA-size alkali batteries ready to use when 
required.A
Remove the battery cover. While pushing the battery compartment cover catch, lift the cover 
up. 
B
Replace the old batteries with new batteries. AttentionCheck the positions of the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery 
holder to ensure the batteries are inserted the correct way.
C
Replace the battery cover. Press the battery compartment cover until it clicks into place. 
AttentionMake sure you read the Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty 
Terms before handling the batteries.

Replacing the LampfLamp replacement period
It is time to replace the lamp when: 
 The message Replace the lamp.Replace the lamp. is displayed 
when you start projecting.

fHow to replace the lamp
A message is displayed. 
Flashing orange
Attention The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following 
time periods in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality 
of the projected images. 
s
Brightness Control p.43
·When used continually at high brightness: About 2400 hours
·When used continually at low brightness: About 2900 hours
 If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has 
passed, the possibility that the lamp may explode increases. When 
the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a 
new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working. 
 Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and the way it has 
been used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before 
the lamp warning message appears. You should always have a 
spare lamp ready incase it is needed. 
Attention 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.
 Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before removing 
the lamp cover. If the lamp is still hot, burns or other injuries may 
result. It takes about one hour after the power has been turned off 
for the lamp to be cool enough.
