4. Attach the air-filter.

5. Attach the filter cover to the projector.

• Make sure that the air-filter is attached cor-

rectly without displacement.

Important:
• If the filter is damaged or becomes extremely

dirty, change it with a new filter. Contact your
dealer for a new filter.

• The projector will not turn on if the air-filter cover

is attached improperly .

Caution:
Be sure to use the projector with an air-filter. If not,
dust may get inside the projector causing fire and
failure.

Cleaning of the projector and the
ventilation slots

Use a soft cloth to clean the projector and the ventila-
tion grilles. When the grilles become dirty, wipe them
with a soft cloth dampened with diluted mild deter-
gent, and then wipe them with a dry cloth.

To protect the surface of the projector from fading or
deteriorating:
• Do not spray insecticide on or inside the projector.
• Do not use benzine or thinner to clean it.
• Do not let rubber or plastic materials contact with

projector.

Cleaning of the lens

Use a standard lens-cleaning brush or a piece of lens
tissue dampened with lens cleaning fluid. The lens
surface is fragile. Use only recommended, nonabra-
sive lens-cleaning materials. Do not touch the lens
with your fingers.

The projector automatically shuts off when the
lamp operation time exceeds the time elapsed

. It can’t start

operating again until the lamp is replaced and

• Originally, the LAMP MODE of the

INSTALLATION menu is set to “SPORT MODE”.

• When it is set to “THEATER MODE”, the

duration will be extended up to about 2,500
hours.

Caution:
• The lamp is fragile. If broken, be careful not to

cut yourself with glass fragments.

environment. For replacement lamps, please
contact your dealer.

Maintenance

Caution:
Be sure to turn off the lamp and unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet before you perform any
maintenance on the projector.

Cleaning of the air-filter

Clean the air-filter fre-
quently (about once a
month). If the filter or
ventilation grilles become
clogged with dirt or dust,
the temperature inside the
projector may rise and
cause troubles, such as
damage to the inside parts
and shortening the life of
the panels.
• When the temperature inside the projector rises,

the STATUS indicator will blink red and the lamp
will be turned off.

1. Put the projector upside

down and raise the lock of
the filter cover in the
direction of the arrow.

2. Remove the air-filter.

3. Wash the air-filter or

change it with a new filter.

• Use water or diluted mild

detergent to clean the filter.
Rinse the filter thoroughly
and let it dry completely.
