Maintenance  
The projector needs proper maintenance. You should keep the lens clean as dust,  
dirt or spots will project on the screen and diminish image quality. The only part  
you could replace yourself is the lamp. If any other parts need replacing, contact  
your dealer or qualified service personnel. When cleaning any part of the projector,  
always switch off and unplug the projector first.  
Warning:  
Never open any of the covers on the projector except the lamp cover.  
Dangerous electrical voltages inside the projector can cause severe injury.  
Except as specifically indicated in this User’s Manual, do not attempt to service  
this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
Cleaning the Lens  
Gently wipe the lens with lens cleaning paper. Do not touch the lens with your  
hands.  
Cleaning the Projector Housing  
Gently wipe with a soft cloth. If dirt and stains are not easily removed, use a soft  
cloth damped with water, or water and neutral detergent, and wipe dry with a soft,  
dry cloth.  
Turn off the projector and remove the AC power cord from the power outlet  
before beginning maintenance work.  
Make sure the lens is cool before cleaning.  
NOTE  
Do not use detergents or chemicals other than those noted above. Do not  
use benzene or thinners.  
Do not use chemical sprays.  
Use a soft cloth or lens paper only.

Replacing the Lamp  
Projector lamps have a finite life. Replace the lamp when:  
The image becomes darker and hues become weaker after a lamp has been  
for a long period of time.  
The projector lamp LED indicator turns into red. Refer to section titled “Indicator  
Messages” for further details.  
The lamp becomes high temperature after turning off the projector with the  
power button. If you touch the lamp, you may scald your finger. When you  
replace the lamp, wait for at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool down.  
Do not touch the lamp glass at any time. The lamp may explode due to  
improper handling, including the touching of the lamp glass.  
Lamp lifetime may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the  
environment of use. There is no guarantee of the same lifetime for each  
lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their lifetime in a shorter period of  
time than other similar lamps.  
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.  
Wear protective gloves and eyeglasses when fixing or detaching the lamp.  
NOTE  
Faster on-off-cycles will damage the lamp and reduce lamp life. Wait at  
least for 5 minutes to turn off the projector after powering on.  
Do not operate the lamp in proximity to paper, cloth, or other combustible  
material nor cover it with such materials. Otherwise it could cause a fire.  
Do not operate the lamp in an atmosphere containing an inflammable  
substance, such as thinner. Otherwise it could cause a fire or explosion.  
Thoroughly ventilate the area or the room when operating the lamp in  
an oxygen atmosphere (in the air). If ozone is inhaled, it could cause  
headaches, nausea, dizziness, etc.  
The inorganic mercury is involved in the lamp. If the lamp bursts, the  
mercury inside the lamp will go out of the projector. Leave the area  
immediately if the lamp shatters while being operated and ventilate the  
area for at least 30 minutes in order to avoid the inhalation of mercury  
fumes. Otherwise it could be harmful to user’s health.

Do not reuse the old lamp. This could cause the lamp to explode.  
Be sure to turn off the projector and unplug the AC power cord before  
replacing the lamp.
