Maintenance
The projector needs proper maintenance. You should keep the lens clean as dust, 
dirt  or  spots  will  project  on  the  screen  and  diminish  image  quality.  The  only  part 
you  could  replace  yourself  is  the  lamp.  If  any  other  parts  need  replacing,  contact 
your dealer or qualified service personnel. When cleaning any part of the projector, 
always switch off and unplug the projector first.
Warning:
  N e v e r  o p e n  a n y  o f  t h e  c o v e r s  o n  t h e  p r o j e c t o r  e x c e p t  t h e  l a m p  c o v e r. 
Dangerous  electrical  voltages  inside  the  projector  can  cause  severe  injury. 
Except as specifically indicated in this User’s Manual, do not attempt to service 
this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Cleaning the Lens
Gently  wipe  the  lens  with  lens  cleaning  paper.  Do  not  touch  the  lens  with  your 
hands.
Cleaning the Projector Housing
Gently  wipe  with  a  soft  cloth.  If  dirt  and  stains  are  not  easily  removed,  use  a  soft 
cloth  damped  with  water,  or  water  and  neutral  detergent,  and  wipe  dry  with  a  soft, 
dry cloth.
 Turn off the projector and remove the AC power cord from the power outlet 
before beginning maintenance work.
 Make sure the lens is cool before cleaning.
 Do  not  use  detergents  or  chemicals  other  than  those  noted  above.  Do  not 
use benzene or thinners.
 Do not use chemical sprays.
 Use a soft cloth or lens paper only.

Replacing the Lamp
Projector lamps have a finite life. Replace the lamp when:
  The  image  becomes  darker  and  hues  become  weaker  after  a  lamp  has  been 
for a long period of time.
  The projector lamp LED indicator turns into red. Refer to section titled “Indicator 
Messages” for further details.
 The lamp becomes high temperature after turning off the projector with the 
power  button.  If  you  touch  the  lamp,  you  may  scald  your  finger.  When  you 
replace the lamp, wait for at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool down. 
 Do  not  touch  the  lamp  glass  at  any  time.  The  lamp  may  explode  due  to 
improper handling, including the touching of the lamp glass.
 L a m p  l i f e t i m e  m a y  d i f f e r  f r o m  l a m p  t o  l a m p  a n d  a c c o r d i n g  t o  t h e 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.
 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.
  Wear protective gloves and eyeglasses when fixing or detaching the lamp.
  Faster  on-off-cycles  will  damage  the  lamp  and  reduce  lamp  life.  Wait  at 
least for 5 minutes to turn off the projector after powering on.
  Do not operate the lamp in proximity to paper, cloth, or other combustible  material nor cover it with such materials. Otherwise it could cause a fi re.
 Do  not  operate  the  lamp  in  an  atmosphere  containing  an  inflammable 
substance, such as thinner. Otherwise it could cause a fire or explosion.
  Thoroughly  ventilate  the  area  or  the  room  when  operating  the  lamp  in an  oxygen  atmosphere  (in  the  air).  If  ozone  is  inhaled,  it  could  cause 
headaches, nausea, dizziness, etc.
  The  inorganic  mercury  is  involved  in  the  lamp.  If  the  lamp  bursts,  the mercury  inside  the  lamp  will  go  out  of  the  projector.  Leave  the  area immediately  if  the  lamp  shatters  while  being  operated  and  ventilate  the 
area  for  at  least  30  minutes  in  order  to  avoid  the  inhalation  of  mercury fumes. Otherwise it could be harmful to user’s health.
