    Maintenance
    Care of the projector
    Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you need to do on a regular 
    basis is to keep the lens clean.
    Never remove any parts of the projector except the lamp. Contact your dealer if 
    other parts need replacing.
    Cleaning the lens
    Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. 
    • Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust. 
    • If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with 
    lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.
    CAUTION
    Never rub the lens with abrasive materials.
    Cleaning the projector case
    Before you clean the case, turn the projector off using the proper shutdown 
    procedure as described in Shutting down the projector on page 35 and unplug the 
    power cord.
    • To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, lint-free cloth.
    • To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral 
    pH detergent. Then wipe the case.
    CAUTION
    Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other chemical detergents. These can damage the 
    case.
    Storing the projector
    If you need to store the projector for an extended time, please follow the 
    instructions below:
    • Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the 
    recommended range for the projector. Please refer to Specifications on page 
    51 or consult your dealer about the range.
    • Retract the adjuster feet.
    • Remove the battery from the remote control.
    • Pack the projector in its original packing or equivalent.
    Transporting the projector
    It is recommended that you ship the projector with its original packing or equivalent.

    Lamp information
    Getting to know the lamp hour
    When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is 
    automatically calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the 
    equivalent lamp hour is as follows:
    Total (equivalent) lamp hour
    = 1 (hours used in Economic mode) + 4/3 (hours used in Normal mode)
    See Setting Lamp mode as Economic below for more information on Economic mode.
    The lamp hour in Economic mode is calculated as 3/4 of that in Normal mode. 
    That is, using the projector in Economic mode helps to extend the lamp hour by 1/
    3.
    To obtain the lamp hour information:
    1. Press MENU/EXIT and then press  /  until the SYSTEM SETUP: 
    Advanced menu is highlighted.
    2. Press  to highlight Lamp Settings and press MODE/ENTER. The Lamp 
    Settings page displays.
    3. You will see the Equivalent lamp hour information displaying on the menu.
    4. To leave the menu, press MENU/EXIT.
    You can also get the lamp hour information on the INFORMATION menu.
    Extending lamp life
    The projection lamp is a consumable item that normally can last up to 3000-4000 
    hours with proper usage. To keep the lamp life as long as possible, you can do the 
    following settings via the OSD menu.
    Setting Lamp mode as Economic
    Using Economic mode reduces system noise and power consumption by 20%. If 
    the Economic mode is selected, the light output will be reduced and result in 
    darker projected pictures.
    Setting the projector in Economic mode also extends the lamp operation life. To 
    set Economic mode, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced > Lamp Settings > 
    Lamp mode menu and press  / .
    Setting Auto Power Off
    This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input source is 
    detected after a set period of time to prevent unnecessary waste of lamp life.
    To set Auto Power Off, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Auto Power Off 
    menu and press  / . The time period can be set from 5 to 30 minutes in 5-minute 
    increments. If the preset time lengths are not suitable for your presentation, select 
    Disable. The projector will not automatically shut down in a certain time period. 
    						
    							Maintenance 45
    Timing of replacing the lamp
    When the Lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time 
    to replace the lamp, please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp 
    may cause a malfunction in the projector and in some instances the lamp may 
    explode.
    CAUTION
    The Lamp indicator light and Temperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too 
    hot. Turn the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or Temp indicator 
    still lights up after turning the power back on, please contact your dealer. See Indicators on 
    page 49 for details.
    The following lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.
    StatusMessage
    The lamp has been in operation for 3000 
    hours. Install a new lamp for optimal 
    performance. If the projector is normally run 
    with Economic selected (See Setting Lamp 
    mode as Economic on page 44), you may 
    continue to operate the projector until the 
    3950 hour lamp warning appears.
    The lamp has been in operation for 3950 
    hours. A new lamp should be fitted to avoid 
    the inconvenience when the projector runs 
    out of lamp time.
    The lamp has been in operation for 4000 
    hours.
    It is strongly recommended that you replace 
    the lamp at this age. The lamp is a 
    consumable item. The lamp brightness 
    diminishes with use. This is normal lamp 
    behavior. You can replace the lamp whenever 
    you notice that the brightness level has 
    significantly diminished. If the lamp is not 
    replaced beforehand, it must be replaced 
    after 4000 hours usage.
    The lamp MUST be replaced before the 
    projector will operate normally.
