Maintenance and Cleaning
Filter prevents dust from accumulating on the optical elements inside th\
e projector. Should the Filter becomeclogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans’ effectiveness and may result in internal heat buildupand adversely affect the life of the projector.  If a “Filter warning” icon appears on the screen, replace the F\
ilterimmediately. Replace the filter by following the steps below.
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.- Do not wash the filter with water or any other    liquid Matter. Otherwise the filter may be   damaged.
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 center for proper cleaning.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Cleaning the Projector Cabinet
Cleaning the Projection Lens
Unplug the AC power cord before cleaning.
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 cap.
Attach the lens cap according to the following procedures.
Attaching the Lens Cap

2
Thread the string through the hole on the lens cap and then tie a knot in the string to secure it in place.
To pass the other end of the string into the hole on the bottom of the projector and pull at it.
Do not use any flammable solvents or air sprays on the projector and in its vicinity. The explosion or fire hazard may occur even after the AC power cord is unplugged because the temperature inside the projector is extremely high due to the lamps. In addition, there is a risk that the internal parts may be damaged not only by the flammable air spray but also by the cold air.
CAUTION

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 lamp\
s.
● 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 bei\
ng 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 center 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
