Cleaning the RGB panels 
Blemishes such as dust and dirt on the internal optical components of the projector t\
end to degrade the brightness of the 
screen and are likely to appear as a shadow on the screen, which can lead to deterioration of image quality.
This projector has the RGB panel cleaning holes on the underside for cleaning of the internal parts (such as optical 
components) of the projector. When you use the projector for a lengthy period of time or a shadow of dust appears on the 
projected screen, clean the inside of the projector.
Using the supplied air blower and with the Cleaning function in the Setting Menu (p.42), you can remove the dusts from the 
projector.  CAUTION IN USING THE AIR BLOWER AND THE NOZZLE
  ● Turn the projector over when using the blower.
  ● Use only the supplied air blower and nozzle to keep the projector from being out of order or 
damaged. We could not guarantee the malfunction or breakage caused by other tools.
  ● Never use a commercially available compressed air duster. It causes the interior of the projector to 
malfunction with release of cold liquid propellant.
  ● Put the projector on a soft cloth to prevent scratching the surface.
  ● Open the hole cover only when you clean the inside of the projector.
  ● Do not look into the holes. A strong light could damage your eyes. (Do not look into the Air intake 
vent and Exhaust vent, too.)
 ●  Use the blower and nozzle only to clean the projector. Do not attempt to use them for other 
purposes. Do not use the blower and nozzle against persons (particularly to eyes, mouth, or ears). 
Be especially careful to ensure that children do not put the blower and nozzle into their mouth and 
swallow them. 
 ●  Do not attempt to pull the nozzle out of the blower. If the nozzle happened to be pulled out, put it 
back into the blower immediately.
  ● Do not use the blower supplied with this projector (model: Z700) to clean the other models:  Z3 and 
Z1X.
  If something is wrong with the projector (such as smoke, a strange sound, or an abnormal odor) while you are 
cleaning, turn off and unplug the projector immediately, then call the dealer where you purchased the projector or 
service center.
✔Note:
	 •	 Dust	might	not	be	removed	completely	with	these	steps.	 Then	contact	the	dealer	where	you	purchased	the	projector	or	service	
center.
If the nozzle is pulled out  . . . .
The nozzle has the stopper. Put the stopper-side of the nozzle into 
the blower. Put the nozzle firmly into the blower until the stopper 
becomes invisible.  
When putting the nozzle into the blower, hold near the stopper so 
that it will not break.
Be sure not to try to pull the nozzle out of the blower.

prevent foreign matters from getting into the projector. If it is open especially while 
operating the projector, the optical parts could damage.
 
 Which hole to put the nozzle in?
 
  When you look at the screen:
 
● When red spots (dust) are particularly noticeable, put the 
nozzle into the R panel cleaning holes.
 
● When green spots (dust) are particularly noticeable, put 
the nozzle into the G panel cleaning holes.
  ● When blue spots (dust) are particularly noticeable, put the 
nozzle into the B panel cleaning holes.
Wave the nozzle back and forth inside of the 
projector.
(Do not attempt to bend the nozzle.)
Use only the supplied blower and nozzle.
Do not use a commercially available 
compressed air duster. It causes the

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 t\
he 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 SAFET y 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.
