 MAINTENANCE AND SECURITY 
Replacing the Projection Lamp 
The projection lamp should be replaced when it burns out. It should only be replaced with a certified 
replacement part, which you can order from your local dealer.  Important: 1. The lamp contains a certain amount of mercury and should be disposed of according to local or-dinance regulations. 2. Avoid touching the glass surface of the new lamp: Doing so may shorten its operation life. Warning: 1. Be sure to turn off and unplug the projector at least an hour before replacing the lamp. Failure to do so could result in a severe burn. 2. It is recommended that you do not attempt to replace the lamp while the projector is installed on a ceiling. If you do attempt this, wear protective goggles to prevent glass from a ruptured lamp get-ting into your eyes.  
1.  Lift the screw cover (A). 
Remove the screw on 
the lamp compartment 
cover (B) and then lift 
the lamp compartment 
cover (C).  
2.  Remove the two screws 
from the lamp module 
(A) and then lift the 
module handle up (B).  
3.  Pull up firmly to remove 
the lamp module.

 Cleaning the Projector 
Cleaning the projector to remove dust and grime will help ensure trouble-free operation.  Warning: 1. Be sure to turn off and unplug the projector at least an hour before cleaning. Failure to do so could result in a severe burn. 2. Use only a dampened cloth when cleaning. Do not allow water to enter the ventilation openings on the projector.  3. If a little water gets into the projector interior while cleaning, leave unplugged in a well-ventilated room for several hours before using. 4. If a lot of water gets into the projector interior when cleaning, have the projector serviced. Cleaning the Lens 
You can purchase optic lens cleaner from most camera stores. Refer to the following to clean the pro-
jector lens. 
1. Apply a little optic lens cleaner to a clean soft cloth. (Do not apply the cleaner directly to the lens.) 
2. Lightly wipe the lens in a circular motion. Caution: 1. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. 2. To prevent discoloration or fading, avoid getting cleaner on the projector case.

1. Wipe off dust with a clean dampened cloth. 
2. Moisten the cloth with warm water and mild detergent (such as used to wash dishes), and wipe the 
case. 
3. Rinse all detergent from the cloth and wipe the projector again. Caution: To prevent discoloration or fading of the case, do not use abrasive alcohol-based cleaners. Using the Kensington Lock 
If you are concerned about security, attach the projector to a permanent object with the Kensington

  Note: Contact your vendor for details on purchasing a suitable Kensington security cable.   
						

							 
 TROUBLESHOOTING 
Common problems and solutions 
These guidelines provide tips to deal with problems you may encounter while using the projector. If 
the problem remains unsolved, contact your dealer for assistance. 
Often after time spent troubleshooting, the problem is traced to something as simple as a loose 
connection. Check the following before proceeding to the problem-specific solutions. 
· Use some other electrical device to confirm that the electrical outlet is working. 
· Ensure the projector is turned on. 
· Ensure all connections are securely attached.  
· Ensure the attached device is turned on. 
· Ensure a connected PC is not in suspend mode. 
· Ensure a connected notebook computer is configured for an external display. (This is usu-
ally done by pressing an Fn-key combination on the notebook.) 
Tips for Troubleshooting 
In each problem-specific section, try the steps in the order suggested. This may help you to solve the 
problem more quickly. 
Try to pin point the problem and thus avoid replacing non-defective parts.  
For example, if you replace batteries and the problem remains, put the original batteries back and go 
to the next step.  
Keep a record of the steps you take when troubleshooting: The information may be useful when call-
ing for technical support or for passing on to service personnel.
