Cleaning the Filters 
The projector uses three filters to keep the  fans free of dust and other particles, and 
should be cleaned every 500 hours of operati on. In dustier environments, it is recom-
mended to clean the filters more frequently. If t he filter is dirty or clogged, your projector 
may overheat. When the message below is displayed the filters must be cleaned. 
 
Note:   
When the  Please clean filter  message is displayed,  please clean or replace 
all three filters at the same time to  synchronize the hours used display.  
The Filter Message item should be enabled  in the Options menu. Refer to Op-
tions on page 95. 
Refer to the following guide to clean the filters. 
1.  Lift the projector to  
expose the underside to 
locate the first filter.  
See the drawing on the

o Replacing Consumable Parts 
During the course of normal usage, consumable  parts become worn out resulting in reduced 
performance. The following guides detail how to replace the various consumable parts within 
the projector quickly and safely. 
Before replacing any of the parts, please take note of the following: 
•  Ensure that the projector is turned o ff and disconnected from the power supply. 
•   Ensure that the projector is in a cle an, stable position before replacing parts. 
•   Allow at least one hour after shutdown for the projector to cool before attempting to 
replace any consumable parts. 
•   Do not interchange Lamp 1 and Lamp 2 after the projector has been used once.  
Doing so will not allow the projector to  display the correct lamp usage hours. 
•   A minimum space is required for replacement. See pages 
27  and  106 for more de-
tails.

Replacing the Lamps 
When a lamp reaches the end of it’s usable lif e, the following message is displayed. Re-
place the lamp. 
 
The projection lamps should be replaced when they burn out. They should only be re-
placed with a certified replacement part,  contact your local dealer if unsure. 
Note: 
1. Lamps are positioned differently. Take ca re not to force the lamps when replac-
ing. 
 
2. Installation of both lamp modules (Lamp 1 and Lamp 2) is required to operate 
the projector in dual or single lamp mode.  If only a single lamp module is installed, 
the projectors lamp will not turn on and will appear as a lamp failure 
 
3. Lamps last approximately 2000-2100 hours (2500-2600 hours in Eco mode) 
and the End of lamp life message is displa yed during the lamps final 100 hours of 
operational life. Please replace during 2000-2100 hour. 
Important: 
1. The lamp contains a certain amount of  mercury and should be disposed of ac-
cording to local ordinance regulations. 
2. Avoid touching the glass surface of t he new lamp: doing so may shorten its op-
eration life. 
3. If the lamp’s useful life ends and proj ector could not turn on over 2100 hours, 
please have the projector serviced. 
Note: 
The projector turns off and goes into standby mode after 2100 hours (up to 2600 
hours in Eco mode) of service. In this  condition you cannot clear the lamp hour 
meter using the menu. Should this condit ion exist, press the HELP button on the 
remote control for 10 seconds to reset the lamp clock back to zero.  
Ensure the lamp is replaced before performing this operation.
