Antitheft Alarm Function
SAFETY  Pr E c A u T ion S   F or SA n Y o  ni-MH BATTE r Y PA c K
Observe the following precautions when handling the built-in battery pac\
k of the projector:
 ● MAKE SURE THAT THE BATTERY PACK IS INSTALLED IN THE PROJECTOR WHEN 
RECHARGING. USING THE CHARGERS OTHER THAN THE PROJECTOR MAY CAUSE 
EXPLOSION OR A FIRE.
 ● The rechargeable battery pack is for use exclusively with this projector. Do not use in other products or 
this may cause accident.
 ● Do not throw the battery into fire or heat it. Doing so may cause an exp\
losion or fire.
 ● Never attempt to disassemble, modify, reconstruct, or solder lead wires directly on to the battery.
 ● Do not drop or subject to strong forces. Doing so may cause the battery \
to leak fluid or explode.
 ● Do not expose to direct sunlight or high temperatures. This may degrade battery performance or cause 
leakage.
 ● Avoid contact with water or liquid. Exposure to water or liquid could res\
ult in battery corrosion or 
damage.
 ● Keep out of reach of children. They may accidentally swallow the battery. 
 ● Do not short-circuit battery terminals with metal objects. Do not store \
with metal objects or in a metal 
case.
 ● The rechargeable battery pack has a limited number of charge cycles and \
eventually need to be 
replaced. If it can no longer be recharged, stop charging immediately and replace\
 it with new one.
 ● Recharge the battery in a place where the temperature is always between 32˚F to 104˚F (0˚C to 40˚C). 
Charging in the temperature out of this range may result in fluid leak, \
heat generation, or shortening 
battery life.
 ● If you do not use the projector or the Antitheft alarm function for a long period of time, remove the 
battery from the projector and store it in a place where the temperature\
 is always between –4˚F to 86˚F 
(–20˚C to 30˚C).
 ● If a battery leaks and fluid comes in contact with skin, this may cause \
skin irritation. Flush the affected 
area thoroughly with water.
 ● If a battery leaks and fluid gets in contact with eyes, wash your eyes w\
ith water immediately and seek 
medical attention.
 ● Dispose of used batteries according to your local disposal rule and guid\
elines.

The WARNING indicator shows the state of the function which protects the proj\
ector. Check the state of the 
WARNING indicator and the POWER indicator to take proper maintenance. 
Warning Indicator
The projector is shut down and the WARNING 
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 POWER indicator is 
blinking 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 
POWER ON/STAND-BY button.
The projector is shut down and the WARNING 
indicator lights red .
When the projector detects an abnormal condition, it is 
automatically shut down to protect the inside of the projector 
and the WARNING indicator lights red. In this case, unplug 
the AC power cord and reconnect it, and then turn the 
projector on once again to verify operation. If the projector 
cannot be turned on and the WARNING indicator still lights 
red, unplug the AC power cord and contact the service 
station. 
CAUTION
DO NOT LEAVE THE PROJECTOR WITH THE 
AC POWER CORD CONNECTED UNDER AN 
ABNORMAL CONDITION. IT MAY RESULT IN 
FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Turn off the projector, and unplug the AC power cord 
from the AC outlet.
Turn the projector over and remove the filter by pulling 
the latches upward.

Filter prevents dust from accumulating on the optical elements inside th\
e projector. Should the filter become 
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. If a “Filter warning” icon appears on the screen, clean the filt\
er 
immediately. Clean the filter by following the steps below.
Gently clean the filter by using a brush or rinse it softly.3
When rinsing the filter, dry it well. Replace the filter 
properly. Make sure that the filter is fully inserted to the 
projector.

CAUTION
Do not operate the projector with the filter removed. 
Dust may accumulate on the optical elements 
degrading picture quality.
Do not put anything into the air vents. Doing so 
may result in malfunction of the projector.
RECOMMENDATION
 We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments 
when you operate the projector  . Usage in these 
environments may cause poor image quality  .
 When using the projector under dusty or smoky conditions, 
dust may accumulate on a lens, LCD panels, or optical 
elements inside the projector degrading the quality of a 
projected image. When the symptoms above are noticed, 
contact your authorized dealer or service station for proper 
cleaning.
✔Note:
 • When reinserting this filter, be sure that 
the slit part is facing the outer side.
Be sure to reset the Filter counter after cleaning or replacing the filt\
ers. 
Press the MENU button to display the On-Screen 
Menu. Use the Point 7 8 buttons to move the red

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 it from dust and 
scratches.
When  moving  this  projector  or  while  not  using  it  over  an 
extended period of time, replace the lens cover.

Maintenance and Cleaning
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 life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no guarantee 
of  the  same  life  for  each  lamp.  Some  lamps  may  fail  or  terminate  their  life  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

amp counter is reset, the LAMP
