Cleaning the lens
Use a commercially available blower or lens
cleaning paper (for glasses and camera lenses)
for cleaning the lens. Do not use any liquid type
cleaning agents, as they may wear off the
coating film on the surface of the lens.

As the surface of the lens can easily get
damaged, be careful not to scrape or hit the
lens.
Cleaning the exhaust and intake vents
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the
exhaust vent and the intake vent.
Cleaning the projector
Ensure that you have unplugged the power
cord before cleaning the projector.

The cabinet as well as the operation panel is
made of plastic. Avoid using benzene or
thinner, as these can damage the finish on the
cabinet.

Do not use volatile agents such as insecticides
on the projector.
Do not attach rubber or plastic items to the
projector for long periods.
The effects of some of the agents in the plastic
may cause damage to the quality or finish of the
projector.

Wipe off dirt gently with a soft flannel cloth.

When the dirt is hard to remove, soak a cloth in
a mild detergent diluted with water, wring the
cloth well and then wipe the projector.
Strong cleaning detergents may discolor, warp
or damage the coating on the projector. Make
sure to test on a small, inconspicuous area on
the projector before use.
Maintenance

• If you want to clean the air vents during pro-
jector operation, ensure you press

Maintenance Indicators
About the lamp indicator

When the remaining lamp life becomes 5% or less,  (yellow) and “Change The Lamp” will be
displayed on the screen. When the percentage becomes 0%, it will change to  (red), the lamp will
automatically turn off and then the projector will automatically enter standby mode. At this time, the
lamp indicator will illuminate in red.

If you try to turn on the projector a fourth time without replacing the lamp, the projector will
not turn on.
About the temperature warning indicator
If the temperature inside the projector increases, due to blockage of the air vents, or the setting location,
“” will illuminate in the lower left corner of the picture. If the temperature keeps on rising, the lamp
will turn off and the temperature warning indicator will blink, the cooling fan will run, and then the projec-
tor will enter standby mode. After “
” appears, ensure you perform the measures described on
page 56.
Lamp indicator 
The warning lights (power indicator, lamp indicator and temperature warning indicator) on the
projector indicate problems inside the projector.

If a problem occurs, either the temperature warning indicator or the lamp indicator will illuminate
red, and the projector will enter standby mode. After the projector has entered standby mode,
follow the procedures given below.

Maintenance Indicators (Continued)
• If the temperature warning indicator illuminates, and the projector enters standby mode, follow the
possible solutions above and then wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plug-
ging in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 10 minutes.)
• If the power is turned off for a brief moment due to power outage or some other cause while using
the projector, and the power supply recovers immediately after that, the lamp indicator will illumi-
nate in red and the lamp may not be lit. In this case, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet,
replace the power cord in the AC outlet and then turn the power on again.
• The cooling fan keeps the internal temperature of the projector constant and this function is con-
trolled automatically. The sound of the cooling fan may change during operation because the fan
speed may change and this is not a malfunction.
• Do not unplug the power cord after the projector has entered standby mode and while the cooling
fan is running. The cooling fan runs for about 90 seconds.
