Filter prevents dust from accumulating on the optical elements inside th\
e projector. Should the filter becomes clogged with 
dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans’ effectiveness and may result in internal heat buildup and adversely affect the life 
of the projector. This projector has an electrically operated filter which helps you to re\
place the filter easily. The projector 
monitors the condition of the filter at all time and replaces a filter w\
ith a new one automatically when it detects the clogging. 
If the projector reaches a time set in the timer setting (p.62), a Fil\
ter 
replacement icon (Fig.1) appears on the screen and the WARNING 
FILTER indicator on the top panel lights up (p.78). When you see 
this icon, replace the filter as soon as possible (pp.30, 56). If the \
filter is out of scroll and the projector reaches a time set in the 
timer setting, Fig. 2 appears on the screen, indicating that the filter \
cartridge replacement is necessary.
When the filter scroll is counted down to 0, the Last scroll icon 
(Fig.3) appears on the screen, indicating that there is one scroll lef\
t 
in the filter cartridge (p.62).
If the projector detects that the filter is clogged and no scroll is lef\
t 
in the filter cartridge, a Filter cartridge replacement icon (Fig. 4) \
appears on the screen and the WARNING FILTER indicator on the 
top panel lights up (p.78). When you see this icon, replace the filter\
 
cartridge (p.64) and reset the Filter counter (p.65) and the Scroll \
counter (p.65).
When the filter is being scrolled using the remote control (p.30) 
or the Filter control function in the setting menu (p.56), a Filter 
replacement icon and Please wait . . . message (Fig.5) appear 
on the screen and the WARNING FILTER indicator blinks slow 
(approx. 2 seconds ON, 2 seconds OFF) (p.76).
The WARNING FILTER indicator blinks fast when the projector 
detects an abnormal condition, the filter cartridge is not installed 
properly, or the filter scroll is not working properly (p.78). Fig .1

Maintenance and Care
This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully\
 and properly. 
Improper handling may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.
● Lamp  lifetime  may  differ  from  lamp  to  lamp  and  according  to  the  environment  of  use.  There  is  no 
guarantee  of  the  same  lifetime  for  each  lamp.  Some  lamps  may  fail  or  terminate  their  lifetime  in  a 
shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
● If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if the LAMP REPLACE indicator lights up, 
replace  the  lamp  with  a  new  one  IMMEDIATELY  after  the  projector  has  cooled  down.  (Follow  carefully 
the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual.) Continuous use of the lamp with the 
LAMP REPLACE indicator lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.  
● Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours of use as its lifetime 
draws  to  an  end.  Risk  of  explosion  may  differ  according  to  the  environment  or  conditions  in  which  the 
projector and lamp are being used.
IF A LAMP EXPLODES, THE FOLLOWING SAFETy  PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN .
If  a  lamp  explodes,  disconnect  the  projector ’s  AC  plug  from  the  AC  outlet  immediately.  Contact  an 
authorized  service  station  for  a  checkup  of  the  unit  and  replacement  of  the  lamp.  Additionally,  check 
carefully to ensure that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out 
from  the  cooling  air  circulation  holes.  Any  broken  shards  found  should  be  cleaned  up  carefully.  No  one 
should  check  the  inside  of  the  projector  except  those  who  are  authorized  trained  technicians  and  who 
are  familiar  with  projector  service.  Inappropriate  attempts  to  service  the  unit  by  anyone,  especially  those 
who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of broken 
glass.
          LAMP HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Unplug the AC power cord 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.
Unplug the AC power cord 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 from dust and scratches.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning the Projection Lens
Cleaning the Projector Cabinet
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 pa\
rts may be damaged not only by the 
flammable air spray but also by the cold air.
CAUTION
