If you encounter a system error, clear it with Exi t Exi t. If necessary, try resetting the projector by 
powering it off and on again (cooling if necessary). Contact dealer/factory if error persists.
 
The specific code number identifies the source of the error detected, and is 
particularly useful in cases wher8e the projector is too far away to read the 
accompanying text message in the LCD status display window. For example, the 
code “21” means the lamp could not be turned on. Error codes for this projector are 
listed in Table 3.4.

 Roadster/Mirage S+ User’s Manual 4-1 
 
This projector is safety agency approved and is designed for safe and reliable 
operation. However, safe operation cannot be assured by design alone; installers, 
maintainers, and users must maintain a safe operating environment for the system. 
Please read through and understand the following warnings and guidelines promoting 
safe usage of the projector. 
 WARNING  
Always remove the lens when shipping the projector. 
 WARNING  
NEVER look directly into the projector lens.  
The high brightness of this projector 
could cause permanent eye damage. 
 WARNING  
For protection from ultraviolet radiation, 
keep all projector shielding intact during operation. 
 
Installation should be performed by qualified personnel ONLY. 
Observe and follow all warnings and instructions marked on the projector. 
The exclamation point within the equilateral triangle alerts the user to 
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the 
literature accompanying the projector. 
The lightning flash and arrowhead symbol within the equilateral 
triangle alerts the user to non-insulated “dangerous voltage” within the 
projector’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a 
risk of electric shock. 
Operate the projector in an environment that meets the operating range specifications 
in Section 6, Specifications. Do not operate the projector close to water, such as near 
a swimming pool. 
Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand or table. If the 
projector is to be ceiling mounted, only use the Christie-approved 
ceiling mount fixture designed for your projector.

Roadster/Mirage S+ User’s Manual 
A projector and cart combination should be used with care. Sudden stops, excessive 
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the projector and cart combination to overturn.  
LAMP: Do not operate the Bubble lamp for more than the lamp’s warranty limit; risk 
of the lamp shattering increases as a result of changes in the quartz glass that occur 
with use. Operation beyond the lamp’s warranty limit also significantly reduces 
brightness output. 
 WARNING  
Wait approximately 5 minutes after powering down the 
projector to allow internal cooling fans to stop and for 
the lamp to cool sufficiently before removing.  
Never attempt to remove the lamp housing directly after use. 
The lamp is under great pressure when hot and may explode, 
causing personal injury and/or property damage. Allow cooling 
completely. 
The Bubble lamp operates at a very high temperature and pressure. Failure to allow 
the lamp to sufficiently cool prior to handling could result in an explosion causing 
personal injury and/or property damage. After turning the projector off it is important 
that you wait at least five minutes before unplugging it. This provides enough time 
for the internal lamp cooling fans to cool the lamp and to automatically shut off. Cool 
completely before handling. 
 WARNING  
Use only lamps supplied by Christie. Use lamps of the 
correct wattage for your projector model when 
replacing. 
FILTER: Replace the front filter when you replace the lamp or sooner. If this filter is 
not replaced, airflow may become restricted and cause the projector to overheat. 
See 4.4, Replacing the Lamp and Filter for the complete replacement procedure. 
 WARNING  
Use only filters supplied by Christie. 
  The North American rated line cord is provided with each projector. 
Ensure that you are using a line cord that meets the appropriate rating 
standards (CCC for use in China, PSE for use in Japan).
 
Only use attachments or accessories recommended by Christie, such as the specific 
power cord supplied. Use of other attachments or accessories with this projector may 
result in the risk of fire, shock or personal injury. 
  WARNING  
Use only the AC power cord supplied. Do not attempt operation 
if the AC supply and cord are not within the specified voltage 
and power range. See Section 6.

 WARNING  
Always power down and unplug the projector before 
cleaning or servicing. 
Table 4.1. Maintenance Guide 
Part Description Frequency Action 
Lens  As required 
CLEAN: Clean if absolutely necessary. A 
small amount of dust on the lens has very 
little affect on picture quality. 
To clean: Apply a solvent such as acetone, 
alcohol or vinegar sparingly to clean, lint-
free lens tissue. Wipe across the surface of 
the lens. Do not scrub or rub tissue in 
circular motion, this will scratch the lens. 
Do not reuse tissue. Do not use cleaning 
tools treated with Ether. If particles still 
appear on the lens, try using compressed air 
to remove. 
 
As required CLEAN: Clean if absolutely necessary. 
Never touch the glass surface of the lamp. 
Fingerprints left on the glass will seriously 
degrade lamp performance or cause 
“hotspots” which can lead to an 
accumulation of intense heat in the touched 
area and cause the lamp to shatter. 
To clean: Wait until lamp is cool. Moisten 
a clean, lint-free cotton cloth with isopropyl 
alcohol and gently rub the surface of the 
glass in a circular motion until clean.

Covers (External) As required 
CLEAN: Clean dust from external covers 
using a clean, lint free cotton cloth as 
required.  
NOTE: Before cleaning the modules, it is 
recommended that you install the lens cap.

The IR Remote Keypad uses two AA size, 1.5V batteries (preferably alkaline). To 
install new batteries:  
1) Open the battery 
compartment at the 
backside of the keypad by 
placing your thumb in the 
oval depression and sliding 
the cover out about ½ inch. 
See Figure 4.1. Remove the 
old batteries and properly 
discard. Wait a minute or 
two.  
2) Place the new batteries in the 
compartment, orienting the 
positive/negative of each battery according to the labels in the compartment. When 
the batteries are in place, replace the cover by placing the cover ½ inch from its 
closed position and slide it into place. Do not force the cover.  
NOTE: Always wait a minute or two when replacing batteries so that the internal 
electronics discharge and can recognize the change. 
 
For this procedure you will need the appropriate Roadster S+12K, Roadster

A bubble lamp permanently mounted inside its own protective assembly provides the 
high brightness of your projector. Using this module beyond its warranted life is not 
recommended—changes in the quartz of the bulb can lead to reliability problems, 
poor performance or sudden lamp expiry. The filter should always be changed when 
the lamp is replaced, or sooner in dusty environments. 
The lamp module is calibrated for maximum performance and brightness in this 
projector. Do not attempt to re-align or adjust the lamp module.

How old is the lamp? 
The number of hours logged on the current lamp appears both in the Lamp menu and 
the Status menu. In the Status menu, do not confuse “Lamp Hours” with “Lamp 
Counter” which indicates the number of hours logged during the current rental period 
only and is normally used for rental projectors only. 
NOTE: As the lamp nears its limit (as set in Lamp Limit), a message can appear on 
screen to warn that the lamp needs to be replaced. The LED’s next to the built-in 
keypad will flash “LP” when lamp time has expired.  To make sure that this warning 
appears, enter a checkmark in the Lamp Message checkbox located in the Lamp 
submenu. 
TOOLS:  A #2 Phillips screwdriver is required. All access panels’ screws are ¼-turn 
to lock/unlock. 
Warnings 
 Lamp replacement must be performed by a qualified service technician. 
  Cool the lamp completely and handle by the housing only. 
  Install the correct wattage lamp supplied by Christie (see above) and 
read the Lamp Replacement procedure in its entirety before proceeding.  
  Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp. Fingerprints left on the 
surface can lead to an intense accumulation of heat called a “hotspot”, which 
could potentially result in the lamp shattering. It is recommended you wear 
clean, lint-free gloves and a face shield when working with the lamp. 
1.  TURN THE LAMP OFF 
Press 
 (power) to turn the lamp off. Allow the cooling fans to stop 
automatically (within approximately 5 minutes) before proceeding with Step 2. 
This wait period is also required to allow the lamp to sufficiently cool before 
handling. 
2.  UNPLUG THE PROJECTOR 
When the cooling fans have stopped, turn the projector’s main switch off, and 
unplug. 
 
WARNING  
Always power down and unplug the projector prior to 
servicing. Allow the lamps to cool before handling

6.  INSERT THE NEW LAMP MODULE 
Align the base plate of the new lamp module under both side alignment guides 
(see right). Slide the 
module fully into the 
projector in the same 
orientation you removed 
the old lamp module. Push 
with normal force until the 
resistance increases, then 
firmly push module 
another ½ inch.  
NOTE: The lamp module 
must make full contact
 
with the lamp connectors. Increased resistance when sliding the module in 
indicates initial contact with these connectors—push firmly at this point. 
 WARNING  
Improper installation could cause a serious 
meltdown inside the projector. 
7.  RE-INSTALL LAMP RETAINING BAR 
Position the retaining bar along the bottom edge of the lamp module, with its
