Maintenance and Care
Filter Instructions
Filter prevents dust from accumulating on the optical elements inside the projector. Should the filter becomes
clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans effectiveness and may result in internal heat buildup
and adversely affect the life of the projector. This projector has an electrically operated filter which helps you to
replace the filter easily. The projector monitors the condition of the filter at all time and replaces a filter with a
new one automatically when it detects the clogging.
If the projector reaches a time set in the timer setting (p.
62), a Filter replacement icon (Fig.1) appears on the screen
and the WARNING FILTER indicator on the top panel lights
up (p.79). When you see this icon, replace the filter as
soon as possible (p54). If the filter is out of scroll and the
projector reaches a time set in the timer setting, Fig. 2
appears on the screen, indicating that the filter cartridge
replacement is necessary.
When the filter scroll is counted down to 1, the Last scroll
icon (Fig.3) appears on the screen, indicating that there is
one scroll left in the filter cartridge (p.62).
If the projector detects that the filter is clogged and no scroll
is left in the filter cartridge, a Filter cartridge replacement
icon (Fig. 4) appears on the screen and the WARNING
FILTER indicator on the top panel lights up (p.79). When you
see this icon, replace the filter cartridge (p.64) and reset the
Filter counter (p.65) and the Scroll counter (p.65).
When the filter is being scrolled by the Filter control function
in the setting menu (p.54), a Filter replacement icon and
Please wait... message (Fig.5) appear on the screen
and the WARNING FILTER indicator blinks slow (approx. 2
seconds ON, 2 seconds OFF) (p.77).
The WARNING FILTER indicator blinks fast when the
projector detects an abnormal condition, the filter cartridge
is not installed properly, or the filter scroll is not working
properly (p.79).

Replace the filter cartridge after all the scroll is used up. If
you replace the filter cartridge when there are some scrolls
left in the filter cartridge, the filter counter and the scroll
counter do not recognize the correct number of remaining
scrolls and the reset function cannot work properly. It may
cause a breakdown.
The used part of the filter can be seen on the edge of the
Filter cartridge after scrolling the filter, but there is no
problem for the use of the projector.

When replacing the lamp because it has stopped
illuminating, there is a possibility that the lamp maybe
broken. If replacing the lamp of a projector which has
been installed on the ceiling, you should always assume
that the lamp is broken, and you should stand to the side
of the lamp cover, not underneath it. Remove the lamp
cover gently. Small pieces of glass may fall out when
the lamp cover is opened. If pieces of glass get into your
eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.
CAUTION
Note:
After lamp replacement, make sure to check the Lamp
mode (p.53).

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.
l 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 lamps.
l If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if the LAMP 1/2 REPLACE indicators
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 1/2 REPLACE indicators lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.
l 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.
IF A LAMP EXPLODES, THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN.
If a lamp explodes, disconnect the projectors AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an
authorized service station 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

The WARNING indicators show the state of the function which protects the projector. Check the state of the
WARNING indicators and the POWER indicator to take proper maintenance.
Warning Indicators
The projector is shut down and the WARNING TEMP.
indicator is blinking red.
When the temperature inside the projector reaches a
certain level, the projector will be automatically shut
down to protect the inside of the projector. The POWER
indicator is blinking while the projector is being cooled
down. When the projector has cooled down enough (to its
normal operating temperature), it can be turned on again by
pressing the ON/STAND-BY button.
Note:
The WARNING TEMP. indicator continues to blink
even after the temperature inside the projector
returns to normal. When the projector is turned on
again, the WARNING TEMP. indicator stops blinking.
Then check the matters below:
Did you provide appropriate space for the projector to be
ventilated? Check the installing condition to see if the air
vents of the projector are not blocked.
Has the projector been installed near an Air-Conditioning/
Heating Duct or Vent? Move the installation of the
projector away from the duct or vent.
Is the filter clean? Clean the filter periodically or replace it
with a new one.
The projector is shut down and the WARNING TEMP.
indicator lights red.
When the projector detects an abnormal condition, it will
be automatically shut down to protect the inside of the
projector and the WARNING TEMP. indicator lights red. In
this case, unplug the AC power cord and plug it, and then
turn on the projector once again to verify operation. If the
projector cannot be turned on and the WARNING TEMP.
indicator lights red, unplug the AC power cord and contact
the service station.

cleaners, solvents, or other harsh chemicals might scratch
the surface of the lens.
When the projector is not in use, replace the lens cap.
Cleaning the Projector Cabinet
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.
Cleaning the Projection Lens
Maintenance and Care
CAUTION
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.
