Lamp
A lamp has finite product life. Using the lamp for long periods of time could cause 
the	pctures	darker	or	the	color	tone	poor.	Note	that	each	lamp	has	a	dfferent	
lfetme,	and	some	may	burst	or	burn	out	soon	after	you	start	usng	them.
	
Preparaton	of	a	new	lamp	and	early	replacement	are	recommended.	 To	prepare	
a	new	lamp,	contact	your	dealer	and	tell	the	lamp	type	number.
Type number : RLC-027
Replacing the lamp
1.	Turn	the	projector	off,	and	unplug	the	power	cord.	
Allow	the	projector	to	cool	for	at	least	45	mnutes.
2.	Prepare	a	new	lamp.		
If 	the 	projector 	s 	mounted 	on 	a 	ce lng, 	or 	f	the 	lamp 	
has 	broken, 	also 	ask 	the 	dealer 	to 	replace 	the 	lamp.
In case of replacement by yourself,
3.	Loosen 	the 	screw 	(marked 	by 	arrow) 	of 	the 	lamp 	cover 	
and 	then 	sl de 	the 	lamp 	cover 	to 	the 	s de 	to 	remove 	t.
4.	Loosen	the	2	screws	(marked	by	arrow)	of	the	
lamp,	and	slowly	pck	up	the	lamp	by	the	handle.	
	
It	may	make	t	easy	to	take	the	lamp	out	slghtly	
toward	the	control	panel	of	the	projector.
5.	Insert the new lamp, and retighten firmly the 
2	screws	of	the	lamp	that	are	loosened	n	the	
prevous	process	to	lock	t	n	place.	 Tghten	the	
screw	
j first, then screw k.
6.	Slide the lamp cover back in place and firmly 
fasten	the	screw	of	the	lamp	cover.
7.	Turn	the	projector	on	and	reset	the	lamp	tme	
usng	the	LAMP 	TIME	tem	n	the	OPTION	menu.	
(1)	Press	the	MENU	button	to	dsplay	a	menu.	
(2)	Pont	at	the	“Go	to	 Advanced	Menu	…”	n	the	menu	
using the ▼/▲ button, then press the ► button.

Please check and clean the air filter periodically. When the indicators or a 
message prompts you to clean the air filter, comply with it as soon as possible. 
Replace the air filter when it is damaged or too soiled. To prepare a new air filter, 
contact ViewSonic and tell the air filter type number.
When you replace the lamp, please replace the air filter. An air filter of specified 
type	wll	come	together	wth	a	replacement	lamp	for	ths	projector.
Cleaning the air filter
1.	Turn	the	projector	off,	and	unplug	the	power	
cord. Allow the projector to sufficiently cool down.
2.	Use	a	vacuum	cleaner	on	and	around	the	
filter cover.
3.	Whle 	support ng 	the 	projector 	w th 	one 	hand,	
use your other hand to pull the filter cover 
forward	n	the	drecton	of	the	arrow.
4.	Use a vacuum cleaner for the filter ventilation of 
the projector. And clean the air filter that is set 
at one side of the filter cover by using a vacuum 
cleaner over the other side of the filter cover.
Please replace the air filter when it is damaged or 
too soiled. When the air filter is set, take its half 
moon	shape	cut	part	to	the	swelled	part	of	the	
filter cover. 
5.	Put the filter unit back into the projector.
6.	Turn the projector on and reset the filter time 
usng	the	FILTER	 TIME	tem	n	the	EASY 	MENU.	
(1)	Press	the	MENU	button	to	dsplay	a	menu.

If the lens is flawed, soiled or fogged, it could cause deterioration of display 
qualty.	Please	take	care	of	the	lens,	beng	cautous	of	handlng.
1.	Turn	the	projector	off,	and	unplug	the	power	cord.	Allow	the	projector	to	cool	
sufficiently.
2.	After	makng	sure	that	the	projector	s	cool	adequately,	lghtly	wpe	the	lens	
wth	a	commercally	avalable	lens-cleanng	wpe.	Do	not	touch	the	lens	
drectly	wth	your	hand.
Caring for the cabinet and remote control
Incorrect care could have adverse influence such as discoloration, peeling paint, 
etc.
1.	Turn	the	projector	off,	and	unplug	the	power	cord.	 Allow	the	projector	to	cool	
sufficiently.

Other care 
WARNING		►Before caring, make sure the power cable is not plugged in, 
and then allow the projector to cool sufficiently. The care in a high temperature 
state	of	the	projector	could	cause	a	burn	and/or	malfuncton	to	the	projector.
►Never try to care for the inside of the projector personally. Doing is so 
dangerous.	
►Avoid wetting the projector or inserting liquids in the projector. It could result 
in a fire, an electric shock, and/or malfunction to the projector . 
•	Do	not	put	anythng	contanng	water,	cleaners	or	chemcals	near	the	
projector.
