Precautions  
On safety  
• Check that the operating voltage of your  
unit is identical with the voltage of your  
local power supply.  
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into  
the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it  
checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it further.  
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is  
not to be used for several days.  
• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the  
plug. Never pull the cord itself.  
• The wall outlet should be near the unit and  
easily accessible.  
• The unit is not disconnected to the AC  
power source (mains) as long as it is  
connected to the wall outlet, even if the  
unit itself has been turned off.  
• Do not look into the lens while the lamp is  
on.  
• Do not place your hand or objects near the  
ventilation holes. The air coming out is  
hot.  
On preventing internal heat build-  
up  
After you turn off the power with the I/1  
(ON/STANDBY) switch, do not disconnect  
the unit from the wall outlet while the  
cooling fan is still running.  
Caution  
The projector is equipped with ventilation  
holes (intake) and ventilation holes  
(exhaust). Do not block or place anything  
near these holes, or internal heat build-up  
may occur, causing picture degradation or  
damage to the projector.  
On repacking  
Save the original shipping carton and  
packing material; they will come in handy if  
you ever have to ship your unit. For  
maximum protection, repack your unit as it  
was originally packed at the factory.

Cleaning the Air  
Filter  
Cleaning and the  
Screen of the  
Projector  
When “Please clean the filter.” appears on  
the screen, you should clean the air filter.  
The air filter should be cleaned every 1,250  
hours. This value varies depending on the  
environment or how the projector is used.  
1,250 hours are approximate.  
Clean the air filter with a vacuum cleaner. If  
the dust still remains, wash the air filter with  
a mild detergent solution and dry it in a  
shaded place.  
Cleaning the lens  
The lens surface is especially treated to  
reduce reflection of light.  
As incorrect maintenance may impair the  
performance of the projector, take care with  
respect to the following:  
• Wipe the lens gently with a soft cloth such  
as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.  
• Stubborn stains may be removed with a  
soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass  
cleaning cloth lightly dampened with  
water.  
• Never use solvent such as alcohol,  
benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline or  
abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning  
cloth, as they will damage the lens surface.  
Notes  
• Be careful that the filter does not get caught  
in the vacuum cleaner.  
• When you clean the air filter, make sure you  
do not damage it.  
For details on how to attach and remove the  
air filter, see “Replacing the Lamp and the  
Air Filter and cleaning the Ventilation holes  
(intake)” Steps 13 to 16. (1 page 68)  
• When you remove the air filter, be careful  
not to let any dust fall into the projector.  
• Cleaning the air filter is crucial to maintain  
the good performance of the projector or to  
prevent malfunction to it. When a warning  
message for cleaning the air filter appears,  
clean the air filter immediately.  
Cleaning the cabinet  
• To remove dust from the cabinet, wipe  
gently with a soft cloth. If dust is  
persistent, wipe with a soft cloth slightly  
moistened with a diluted mild detergent  
solution.  
• Never use any type of abrasive pad,  
alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or  
volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene,  
thinner or insecticide.  
• Using such materials or maintaining  
prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl  
materials may result in damage to the  
screen surface and cabinet material.  
Black points and bright points (red,  
blue, or green) on the screen  
The projector is manufactured using high-  
precision technology.  
You may, however, see tiny black points  
and/or bright points (red, blue, or green) that  
continuously appear on the projector.  
This is a normal result of the manufacturing  
process and does not indicate a malfunction.
