Maintenance
This section describes maintenance tasks such as cleaning the projector and replacing consumable parts.
Cleaning
You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to 
deteriorate.
Cleaning the Air Filter
If the airfilter becomes blocked with dust and the message 
The projector is overheating. Clean or replace the air filter 
and lower the room temperature is displayed, clean the air 
filter.
Turn the projector upside-down and use a vacuum cleaner to 
clean the air filter.
Cleaning the Projector Case
Clean the projector case 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 
projector case. Then wipe the case again with a soft, dry cloth.
Cleaning the Lens
Use a commercially-available air blower, or use a lens 
cleaning paper to gently wipe the lens.
Be sure to read the separate Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms booklet for details on 
safe handling of the projector during cleaning.
If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, it can result in 
overheating which may cause operating problems or 
reduce the operating life of the optical parts.
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol or 
thinner to clean the projector case. These can cause 
the case to warp and make the coating finish peel off.
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the 
lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.

Lamp Replacement Period
•The message Replace the lamp. appears on the screen when projection starts.
•The projected images get darker or star t to deteriorate.
•In order to maintain the brightness and quality of the projected images, a lamp 
replacement warning message will be displayed after approximately 1600 hours 
depending on the conditions that the lamp has been used under. 
If you continue to use the lamp after this period, the possibility of the lamp breaking 
becomes greater. When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp 
with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.
•The actual life of each individual lamp will vary depending on the characteristics of the 
lamp and on the way it has been used. The lamp may start to become dark or stop 
turning on even before the lamp replacement message appears. You should always 
have a spare lamp ready in case it is needed.
•Contact your dealer for a spare lamp.
A message will be displayed.
