MAINTENANCE AND SECURITY 
Replacing the Projection Lamp 
The projection lamp should be replaced when it burns out. It should only be r eplaced with a certified 
replacement part, which you can order from your local dealer.  
Important: 
a.  The projection lamp used in this product contains a small amount of mercury. 
b.  Do not dispose this product  with general household waste. 
c. Disposal of this product must be carried out in  accordance with the regulations of your local  
authority. 
Warning: 
Be sure to turn off and unplug the projector at least 30 minutes before replacing the lamp. Failure to 
do so could result in a severe burn. 
 
Caution: 
In rare cases the lamp bulb may burn out during  normal operation and cause glass dust or shards 
to be discharged outward from the rear exhaust vent. 
Do not inhale or do not touch glass dust or shards. Doing so could result in injury.  
Always keep your face away from the exhaust vent  so that you do not suffer from the gas and bro-
ken shards of the lamp. 
When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted proj ector, make sure that no one is under the pro-
jector. Glass fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.  
！ IF A LAMP EXPLODES 
If a lamp explodes, the gas and broken shards may scatter inside the projector and they may come 
out of the exhaust vent. The gas contains toxic mercury. 
Open windows and doors for ventilation. 
If you inhale the gas or the shards  of the broken lamp enter your eyes or mouth, consult the doctor 
immediately.  
 
1.  Switch off the power to the 
projector by pressing the 
POWER button. 
2.  Allow the projector to cool 
down at least 30 minutes. 
3.  Disconnect the power 
cord.

Common problems and solutions 
These guidelines provide tips to deal with problem s you may encounter while using the projector. If 
the problem remains unsolved, cont act your dealer for assistance. 
Often after time spent troubleshooting, the problem is  traced to something as simple as a loose con-
nection. Check the following before proceedi ng to the problem-specific solutions. 
•  Use some other electrical device to confirm that the electrical outlet is working. 
•   Ensure the projector is turned on. 
•   Ensure all connections are securely attached.  
•   Ensure the attached device is turned on. 
•   Ensure a connected PC is not in suspending mode. 
•   Ensure a connected notebook computer is configured for an external display.

Tips for Troubleshooting 
In each problem-specific section, tr y the steps in the order suggested. This may help you to solve the 
problem more quickly. 
Try to pin point the problem and thus  avoid replacing non-defective parts.  
For example, if you replace batteries and the problem remains, put the original batteries back and go 
to the next step.  
Keep a record of the steps you take when troubles hooting: The information may be useful when call-

HDMI Q & A 
Q. What is the difference between a “Standard” HDMI cable and a “High-Speed” HDMI 
cable? 
Recently, HDMI Licensing, LLC announced that  cables would be tested as Standard or High-
Speed cables.  
˙ Standard (or “category 1”) HDMI cables have b een tested to perform at speeds of 75Mhz or 
up to 2.25Gbps, which is the equivalent of a 720p/1080i signal.  
˙ High Speed (or “category 2”) HDMI cables have been tested to perform at speeds of 340Mhz 
or up to 10.2Gbps, which is the highest bandwidth currently available over an HDMI cable 
and can successfully handle 1080p signals includi ng those at increased color depths and/or 
increased refresh rates from the Source. High -Speed cables are also able to accommodate 
higher resolution displays, such as WQXGA cinema monitors (resolution of 2560 x 1600). 
 
Q. How do I run HDMI cables longer than 10 meters? 
There are many HDMI Adopters working on HDMI  solutions that extend a cable’s effective 
distance from the typical 10 meter range to much longer lengths. These companies 
manufacture a variety of solutions that includ e active cables (active electronics built into 
cables that boost and extend the cable’s signal), repeaters, amplifiers as well as CAT5/6 and 
fiber solutions. 
 
Q. How can I tell if a cable is an HDMI certified cable? 
All HDMI products are required to be certified  by the manufacturer as part of the HDMI 
Compliance Test Specification. However, ther e may be instances where cables bearing the 
HDMI logo are available but  have not been properly tested. HDM I Licensing, LLC actively 
investigates these instances to ensure that  the HDMI trademark is properly used in the 
market. We recommend that consumers buy  their cables from a reputable source and a 
company that is trusted.
