NOTE: When you replace the lamp, it is also wise to replace the filter. The filter comes in the same package with your replacement lamp.
83 6. Maintenance Cleaning the Cabinet and the Lens 1. Turn off the projector before cleaning. 2. Clean the cabinet periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled, use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinner. Vacuum the ventilation inlet of the cabinet. Note on Cleaning the Lens (NP610/NP510/NP410/NP405/NP310/NP305/NP510W/NP410W) Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to scratch or mar the lens. Note on Cleaning the Lens (NP610S/NP510WS) The NP610S and NP510WS have a plastic lens. Use a commercially available plastic lens cleaner. NOTE: • Do not scratch or mar the lens surface as a plastic lens is easily scratched. • Never use alcohol or glass lens cleaner as doing so will cause damage to the lens surface.
84 6. Maintenance Replacing the Lamp When the lamp reaches the end of its life, the LAMP indicator in the cabinet will blink red. Even though the lamp may still be working, replace the lamp to maintain the optimal projector performance. After replacing the lamp, be sure to clear the lamp hour meter. (→ page 80) CAUTION • DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off, turn off the main power switch and then disconnect the power cable. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling. • DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except one lamp cover screw and two lamp housing screws. You could receive an electric shock. • Do not break the glass on the lamp housing. Keep finger prints off the glass surface on the lamp housing. Leaving finger prints on the glass surface might cause an unwanted shadow and poor picture quality. • The projector will turn off and go into standby mode when you continue to use the projector for another 100 hours after the lamp has reached the end of its life. If this happens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp reaches the end of its life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury.

(→ pages 25, 26, 27)• Ensure that the lamp cover is installed correctly. (→ page 86)• Check to see if the projector has overheated. If there is insufficient ventilation around the projector or if the room where you are presenting is particularly warm, move the projector t\ o a cooler location.• Check to see if you continue to use the projector for another 100 hours after the lamp has reached the end of its life. If so, replace the lamp. After replacing the lamp, reset the l\ amp hours used. ( → page 80)• The lamp may fail to light. Wait a full minute and then turn on the power again.• Set [FAN MODE] to [HIGH ALTITUDE] when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher. Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher without setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the projector to overheat and the projector could shut down. If this happens, wait a couple minutes and turn on the projector. (→ page 74) If you turn on the projector immediately after the lamp is turned off, t\ he fans run without displaying an im- age for some time and then the projector will display the image. Wait for a moment. • Ensure that the [OFF TIMER] or [AUTO POWER OFF] is off. (→ page 76, 77) • Use the COMPUTER1, the COMPUTER2, the VIDEO or the S-VIDEO button on the remote control to select your source (Computer, Video or S-Video). (→ page 29) If there is still no picture, press the button again.• Ensure your cables are connected properly.• Use menus to adjust the brightness and contrast. (→ page 62)• Remove the lens cap.• Reset the settings or adjustments to factory preset levels using the [RESET] in the Menu. (→ page 80)• Enter your registered keyword if the Security function is enabled. (→ page 43)• Be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode and before turning on the power to the notebook PC. In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before being powered up. * If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer’s screen-saver or power management software.• See also the next page. • Check if the projector is in the Forced ECO mode because of too high ambient temperature. If this is the case, lower the internal temperature of the projector by selecting [HIGH] for \ [FAN MODE]. (→ page 74) • Check if an appropriate color is selected in [WALL COLOR]. If so, select an appropriate option. (→ page 69)• Adjust [HUE] in [PICTURE]. (→ page 63) • Reposition the projector to improve its angle to the screen. (→ page 30)• Use the Keystone correction function to correct the trapezoid distortion. (→ page 34) • Adjust the focus. (→ page 33)• Reposition the projector to improve its angle to the screen. (→ page 30)• Ensure that the distance between the projector and screen is within the adjustment range of the lens. (→ page 15, 16) • Condensation may form on the lens if the projector is cold, brought into a warm place and is then turned on. Should this happen, let the projector stand until there is no condensati\ on on the lens. • Set [FAN MODE] to other than [HIGH ALTITUDE] mode when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or lower. Using the projector at altitudes less than approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters and setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the lamp to overcool, causing the image to flicker. Switch [FAN MODE] to [AUTO]. (→ page 74) • Check the computer’s resolution and frequency. Make sure that the resolution you are trying to display is supported by the projector. (→ page 97)• Adjust the computer image manually with the Horizontal/Vertical in the [IMAGE OPTIONS]. (→ page 65) • Install new batteries.(→ page 10)• Make sure there are no obstacles between you and the projector.• Stand within 22 feet (7 m) of the projector. (→ page 10) • See the POWER/STATUS/LAMP Indicator. (→ page 87) • Press the AUTO ADJ. button on the projector cabinet or the remote control. (→ page 37)• Adjust the computer image manually with [CLOCK]/[PHASE] in [IMAGE OPTIONS] in the menu. (→ page 64)
89 7. Appendix If there is no picture, or the picture is not displayed correctly. • Power on process for the projector and the PC. Be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode and before turning on the power to the notebook PC. In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before being powered up. NOTE: You can check the horizontal frequency of the current signal in the projector’s menu under Information. If it reads “0kHz”, this means there is no signal being output from the computer. (→ page 79 or go to next step) • Enabling the computer’s external display. Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usu- ally, the combination of the “Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external display selections. • Non-standard signal output from the computer If the output signal from a notebook PC is not an industry standard, the projected image may not be displayed correctly. Should this happen, deactivate the notebook PC’s LCD screen when the projector display is in use. Each notebook PC has a different way of deactivate/reactivate the local LCD screens as described in the previous step. Refer to your computer’s documentation for detailed information. • Image displayed is incorrect when using a Macintosh When using a Macintosh with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac adapter (not supplied with the projector) according to your resolution. After setting, restart your Macintosh for the changes to take affect. For setting display modes other than those supported by your Macintosh and the projector, changing the DIP switch on a Mac adapter may bounce an image slightly or may display nothing. Should this happen, set the DIP switch to the 13" fixed mode and then restart your Macintosh. After that, restore the DIP switches to a displayable mode and then restart the Macintosh again. NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Computer is needed for a PowerBook which does not have a mini D-Sub 15-pin connector. • Mirroring on a PowerBook * When using the projector with a Macintosh PowerBook, output may not be set to 1024 x 768 unless “mirroring” is off on your PowerBook. Refer to owner’s manual supplied with your Macintosh computer for mirroring. • Folders or icons are hidden on the Macintosh screen Folders or icons may not be seen on the screen. Should this happen, select [View] → [Arrange] from the Apple menu and arrange icons.

HDCP is an acronym for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. High bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a system for preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a Digital Visual Interface (DVI). If you are unable to view material via the DVI input, this does not necessarily mean the projector is not functioning properly. With the implementation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected with HDCP and might not be displayed due to the decision/intention of the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC). *5 An image with higher or lower resolution than the projector’s native resolution (NP610/NP510/NP410/NP405/NP310/NP305: 1024 × 768 / NP510W/NP410W: 1280 × 800) will be displayed with Advanced AccuBlend.
