Wipe the projector's main unit softly with a soft cloth. If the projector is heavily soiled, soak the cloth in water with a small amount of detergent in it, squeeze the cloth very well, and then wipe the projector with it. After cleaning, wipe the projector with a dry cloth.
Page 107: Cleaning And Replacing The Air Filter
An air filter is installed in the air intake vent on the bottom of the main body to protect the internal lens and mirror from dust. Should the air filter become clogged with dust, the pro- jector may be damaged since it will block the air flow into the projector and raises the inter- nal temperature of the projector.
Page 108: Replacing The Lamp
When replacing the lamp, turn off the projector, wait until the cooling fan stops, remove the power plug from the AC outlet, and let the projector stand for at least 1 hour. Otherwise, you may get burned because the main unit is very hot immediately Caution after the projector is turned off.
Page 109 Replacing the Lamp Turn off the projector, disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet, and then let the pro- jector stand for at least 1 hour. Loosen a screw with a flathead screwdriver and remove the lamp cover. Loosen two screws, pull up the handle, and then remove the lamp.

The WARNING lamp on the Control Panel flashes in red when there is a trouble in the pro- jector. Turn off the projector, wait until the cooling fan stops, and remove the power plug from the AC outlet before dealing with the trouble.
Page 113: Symptoms And Solutions
You cannot turn on the projector until the [POWER] indicator turns red after connecting the power plug (P35). The projector cannot be turned on for a while after it is turned off. Wait for a while before pressing the [POWER] button again (P53).
Page 114: You Cannot Hear Sound
1.2 m (3.9'), the projec- tor cannot focus on the screen (P28, 119). Check whether the projector is placed obliquely to the screen. A slight error in the projection angle can be corrected through the keystone adjustment function (P38, 47).
Page 115: The Projector Is Forced To Be Turned Off
Check whether the air intake or exhaust vent is blocked. If the air intake or exhaust vent is blocked, the temperature inside the projector rises and the power is automatically turned off to protect the projector. Wait until the internal temperature gets down, and then turn on the projector without blocking the intake and exhaust vents (P21, 35).
Page 116: You Cannot Operate The Remote Control
Also check whether there is any obstacle between the infrared remote receiver of the projector and the remote control (P26). Check whether the infrared remote receiver of the projector is exposed to direct sunlight or strong light of lighting apparatus (P26).
