obstacles that could block the remote control's
output signal to the projector.
ATTENTION
Precautions to observe when using the remote control
• Do not drop or otherwise expose the remote control to physical impact.
•
Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects. Doing so may result in malfunction.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place if you
won't be using the remote control for an extended period.
• Replace the batteries whenever the remote control starts to malfunction.
•
When strong light, such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely close range (such as from an
inverter fluorescent lamp), hits the projector's remote sensor, the remote control may cease to function.
Adjust the direction of the projector to keep light from directly hitting the projector's remote sensor.

Before replacing the lamp, check the serial number of the replacement lamp bulb (sold separately:

Before replacing the lamp, turn off the power, and unplug the power cord, then
WARNING
wait at least 45 minutes, in order to ensure that the lamp is properly cooled.
Removing the lamp bulb while it is still hot could cause burns, or cause the lamp bulb to burst.
The LCD projector uses a glass lamp bulb. It is a mercury lamp with high
WARNING
internal pressure. High-pressure mercury lamps can break with a loud
bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, or through wear over time. Each lamp has a
different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In
addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing,
and for gas containing mercury to escape from the projector’s vent holes.
•
•
Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.
35
If the replace lamp indicator (see "Related Messages" (
) and "Regarding the indicator
36
Lamps" (
)) comes on, replace the lamp as soon as possible. Using the lamp for long
periods of time, or past the replacement date, could cause it to burst. Do not use old
(used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.
•
•
•
If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that there are electrical problems
elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens, contact your local dealer.
If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate the room well, and make
sure not to breathe the gas that comes out of the projector vents, or get it in your eyes or mouth.
If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug the power cord from
the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp from your local dealer. Note that
shards of glass could damage the projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling, so
please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.
•
Obey local ordinances when disposing of used lamps. In most cases, it is possible to dispose of used
bulbs in the same manner as used glass bottles, but in some cases, bulbs are sorted separately.
• Do not use the projector with the lamp door removed.

THE LAMP (continued)
Replacing the lamp
All projector lamps will wear out eventually. If used for long periods of time, the image could become
darkened, and the color contrast could be impacted as well. We recommend that you replace your lamps
early. If the lamp indicator turns red, or a message prompts you to replace the lamp when you power up
the projector, the lamp needs to be replaced. (See "Related Messages" (
5
) and "Regarding the
3
36
Indicator Lamps" (

Turn off the projector, and unplug the
power cord. Allow the lamp bulb to cool
for at least 45 minutes, and prepare a
new lamp (sold separately:

the lamp. The message functions will not operate properly if the lamp timer is not reset correctly.
• When the lamp has been replaced after the message of "CHANGE THE LAMP ...THE POWER
WILL TURN OFF AFTER 0 hr." is displayed, or the lamp indicator is red, complete the following
operation within 10 minutes of switching power ON.
NOTE
• The lamp indicator is also red when the lamp unit reaches high temperature.
Before replacing the lamp, switch power OFF, wait approximately 20 minutes, and switch power
ON again. If the lamp indicator is still red, replace the lamp.

OTHER CARE
Caring for the inside of the projector :
In order to ensure the safe use of your projector, please have it cleaned and inspected by
your local dealer about once every 2 years. Never try to care for the inside of the unit
yourself. Doing so is dangerous.
Caring for the lens :
Lightly wipe the lens with a commercially available lens-cleaning wipe. Do not touch the
lens directly with your hand.
Caring for the cabinet and remote control transmitter :
Wipe lightly with gauze or a soft cloth. If soiling is severe, dip a soft cloth in water or a
neutral cleanser diluted in water, and wipe lightly after wringing well. Then, wipe lightly
with a soft, dry cloth.
WARNING
• Make sure to turn off the power and unplug the power cord before caring
for the unit. Please carefully read "Product Safety Guide", in order to care for your projector
correctly.
• Do not use cleaners or chemicals other than those listed above, including benzene and paint

NOTES
Note 1: Although this message will be automatically disappeared after around 3 minutes, it will be
reappeared every time the power is turned ON.
Note 2: Lamps have a finite product life. Lamps are characterized by the fact that, after long hours of
usage, a lamp will no longer light up, or the lamp will break or burst, etc. This unit is equipped
with an automatic shut-down function, such that the power will automatically be turned OFF
when lamp usage time has reached 2,000 hours. Please be aware, however, that among lamp
types, there are major differences in product lifetimes; a lamp may thus fail to light even prior
to the functioning of the automatic shut-down function of this unit.
