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.  
A 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
Move the pointer to Lamp counter reset and then press
the SELECT button.  The message “Lamp replace
counter reset?” is displayed.

With the projector and computer both OFF, connect the mouse port (or USB port) of
your computer to Control Port (or USB connector) of this projector with the
appropriate cable. (Refer to page 11, 12 for connection.)
Turn the projector ON first, and then turn ON your computer.  When the computer is
switched on first, Wireless Mouse may not work properly.

build up and adversely affect the life of the projector.  Clean the Air Filter following the steps below: 
Clean the Air Filter with a brush or wash out dust and particles.3
Replace the Air Filter properly. Make sure that the Air Filter is
fully inserted.4
CAUTION
Do not operate the projector with the Air Filter removed.
Dust may accumulate on the LCD Panel and the Projection
Mirror degrading picture quality.
Do not put small parts into the Air Intake Vents.  It may
result in malfunction of the projector.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments when operating a projector.  Usage in these environments
may cause poor image quality.
When using under dusty or smoky conditions, dust may accumulate on a lens, liquid crystal panels, or optical elements
inside the projector.  This condition may degrade the quality of a projected image.
When the above symptoms are noticed, contact your authorized dealer or service station for proper cleaning.
The WARNING TEMP. indicator flashes red when an internal temperature of the projector exceeds the normal temperature.
The indicator stops flashing when the temperature of the projector returns to normal.
When the WARNING TEMP. indicator continues to flash, check the items listed below.
Ventilation slots of the projector may be blocked.  In such an
event, reposition the projector so that the Ventilation slots cannot
be obstructed.
The Air filter may be clogged with dust particles.  Clean the Air
filter by following the section AIR FILTER CARE AND
CLEANING below.
