Care of the projector
To care for your projector, clean the lens and projector case on a regular basis, 
following the instructions below.
Never remove any parts of the projector except the user-replaceable lamp. Contact 
your dealer if other parts need replacing.
Cleaning the lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. 
CAUTION: HOT SURFACE! Before cleaning the lens, turn the projector off, 
unplug the power cord, and allow the projector to cool for at least one hour.
1. Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust (available from building 
hardware or photographic suppliers).
2. If there is stubborn dirt or smudge marks, use a photographic lens brush or a 
clean, soft lens cloth (moistened with lens cleaner, if necessary) to gently 
wipe the lens surface.
NEVER touch the lens with your bare hands or rub the lens with abrasive 
materials (products such as paper towels can damage the lens coating). 
ALWAYS use a photographic lens brush or lens cleaning cloth and solution.
NEVER attempt to clean the lens while the projector is on or while it is still hot 
from previous use.
Cleaning the projector case
CAUTION: HOT SURFACE! Before cleaning the lens, turn the projector off, 
unplug the power cord, and allow the projector to cool for at least one hour.
1. To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
2. If the soiling is severe, dip the cloth in a neutral detergent diluted in water, 
wring well, and gently wipe off the dirt, then finish up by wiping with a dry 
cloth.
Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical detergents. These 
products can damage the case.
 WA R N I N G

About the lamp
The product’s light source is a mercury lamp that lights at increased internal 
pressure. Be sure to fully understand the following characteristics of the lamp and 
handle it with extreme care.
•  The lamp may burst with a loud noise due to impact or deterioration, or fail to 
light at the expiration of its life.
•  How long it takes before the lamp bursts or the life expires may vary greatly by 
lamp. Some may burst shortly after first use.
• Burst is likely to happen if the lamp is used after the replacement period has 
elapsed.
• When the lamp bursts, the broken pieces of glass may get inside the product 
or be released outside from the openings for ventilation.
•  When the lamp bursts, a slight amount of mercury gas enclosed in the lamp 
along with glass dust may be released from the openings for ventilation.
QReplace the lamp when a sign appears on the screen.
•  When the replacement time approaches, the message will appear on the 
screen.
•  The risk of burst will increase if the lamp is continuously used without being 
replaced.
•  Frequently check the used hours and prepare spares when the replacement 
time approaches.
QWhen the lamp is broken
•  If glass components, including a lamp and a lens, should break, handle the 
broken pieces with care to avoid injury and contact your dealer for repair 
service.
•  In the event of lamp burst, unplug the product from the wall outlet, leave and 
completely ventilate the room. Then, thoroughly clean the area around the 
projector and discard any edible items placed in that area.
•  When the lamp bursts, consult a doctor if glass dust or mercury gas gets into 
your eyes or you breathe it.

replace the lamp.  Replacing the lamp at a high site by yourself may cause 
you to drop down, thus resulting in injury.
•  When replacing, always use lamp “TLPLW7” (sold separately).
 CAUTION
•  If you have been using the projector, the lamp will be very hot, and may cause 
burn injuries. Wait for the lamp to cool (for at least 45 minutes) before

Step 3. Turn the projector over. Then loosen the screws and remove the lamp cover. If 
the lamp is hot, avoid burns by waiting for 45 minutes until the lamp has cooled.
Step 4. Loosen the screw fixing the lamp to the projector. If 
the screw is not loosened completely, the lamp

• Do not place the lamp in locations where water might 
splash on it, children can reach it, or near flammable 
materials.
• Do not insert your hands into the projector after the lamp 
is removed. If you touch the optical components inside, 
it could cause color unevenness and distortion of the 
projected images.
Step 6. Insert a new lamp. Ensure the handle is fully laid flat and locked in place. 
Reinsert and tighten the screw firmly.
• Loose screw may cause a bad connection, which could result in malfunction.
