Turn off the projector, press the Main On/Off Switch to Off 
and unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet before 
cleaning.
Gently wipe the projection lens with a cleaning cloth that 
contains a small amount of non-abrasive camera lens 
cleaner, or use a lens cleaning paper or commercially 
available air blower to clean the lens. 
Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner. Abrasive 
cleaners, solvents, or other harsh chemicals might scratch 
the surface of the lens.
Cleaning the Projector Cabinet
Turn off the projector, press the Main On/Off Switch to Off 
and unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet before 
cleaning.
Gently wipe the projector body with a soft dry cleaning 
cloth. When the cabinet is heavily soiled, use a small amount 
of mild detergent and finish with a soft dry cleaning cloth. 
Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner. Abrasive 
cleaners, solvents, or other harsh chemicals might scratch 
the surface of the cabinet.
When the projector is not in use, put the projector in 
an appropriate carrying case to protect it from dust and 
scratches.
Cleaning the Projection Lens
Maintenance and Care
CAUTION
Do not use any flammable solvents or air sprays 
on the projector and in its vicinity. The explosion or 
fire hazard may occur even after the AC power cord 
is unplugged because the temperature inside the 
projector is extremely high due to the lamps. 
In addition, there is a risk that the internal parts 
may be damaged not only by the flammable air 
spray but also by the cold air.

The WARNING indicators show the state of the function which protects the projector. Check the state of the 
WARNING TEMP. indicator and the LAMP indicator to take proper maintenance. 
Warning Indicators
The projector is shut down and the WARNING TEMP. 
indicator is blinking red.
When the temperature inside the projector reaches a 
certain level, the projector will be automatically shut down 
to protect the inside of the projector. The LAMP indicator 
turns red brighter and the WARNING TEMP indicator 
blinks while the projector is being cooled down. When the 
projector has cooled down enough (to its normal operating 
temperature), it can be turned on again by pressing the ON/
STAND-BY button.
✔Note:
• The WARNING TEMP. indicator continues to blink even after 
the temperature inside the projector returns to normal. When 
the projector is turned on again, the WARNING TEMP. indicator 
stops blinking. 
Then check the matters below:
–   Did you provide appropriate space for the projector to be 
ventilated? Check the installing condition to see if the air 
vents of the projector are not blocked.
–   Has the projector been installed near an Air-Conditioning/ 
Heating Duct or Vent? Move the installation of the 
projector away from the duct or vent.
–   Is the filter clean? Replace the filter with a new one.
CAUTION
DO NOT LEAVE THE PROJECTOR WITH THE 
AC POWER CORD CONNECTED UNDER AN 
ABNORMAL CONDITION. IT MAY RESULT IN FIRE 
OR ELECTRIC SHOCK.

the projector and the LAMP indicator lights on and other 
indicators blink. In this case, unplug the AC power cord and 
plug it, and then turn on the projector once again to verify 
operation. If the projector cannot be turned on and these

Troubleshooting
Before calling your dealer or service center for assistance, check the items below once again.
1. Make sure you have properly connected the projector to peripheral equipment as described \
on pages 20–21.
2.  Check the cable connection. Make sure that all computers, video equipment, and power cords are properly 
connected.
3.  Make sure that all power is switched on.
4.  If the projector still does not produce an image, restart your computer.
5.  If an image still does not appear, disconnect the projector from your computer and check your computer 
monitor’s display. A problem may be noticed with your graphics controller rather than with the projector. 
(When you reconnect the projector, be sure to turn the computer and monitor off before you turn on the 
projector. Turn on equipment in the order of the projector and computer.)
6.  If a problem still persists, check the following solutions.
