2. Check the following matters and take the required measures. When the projector is being used in a location that has a high ambient temperature, set it up again in a cool location. Check the outflow and intake holes and clean them if they are obstructed.
• Does the projection distance exceed the focusing range? • Is there condensation on the lens, etc.? If the projector is moved from a cool storage area to a warm place and the power is turned on, condensation may form on the lens or internal optical parts.
Cleaning the Inside of the Projector Cleaning of the inside of the projector is required about once a year. Failure to clean over a long period while dust has collected inside the projector could cause a fire or breakdown. Do not clean the inside of the projector by yourself. Please be sure to contact your dealer.
Replacing the Lamp Cartridge • The lamp that is used as a light source in the projector has a limited service life. The rated service life of the lamp is about 1500 hours (when used in normal mode only). This could be shortened depending on conditions of use and other factors.
Page 60
Replacing the Lamp Cartridge Preparations: Turning the projector upside-down on top of a soft cloth, etc., so that it does not get scratched makes it easier to replace the lamp cartridge. Turn the projector right-side up after replacing the lamp cartridge.
