Page 120: Cleaning
"Clean or replace the air filter." Caution: • If dust collects on the air filter it can cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation. Clean the air filter immediately when the message is displayed.
Page 121 Cleaning Remove the air filter cover. Grip the air filter cover tab between your fingers, and pull up and remove the cover while pressing the tab. Remove the air filter. With the front (the side with tabs) of the air filter facing down, tap the air filter four or five times to shake off the dust.
Page 122 Cleaning Remove any dust remaining on the air filter by using a vacuum cleaner on the front side. Reinsert the air filter. Reinsert the air filter cover. Press the cover until it clicks into place. If a message is frequently displayed, even after cleaning, it is time to replace the air filter.
Page 123: Replacing Consumables
Replacing Consumables Replacing Consumables This section explains how to replace the Remote Control batteries, the lamp, and the air filter. Replacing the Remote Control Batteries If delays in the responsiveness of the Remote Control occur or if it does not operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the batteries are becoming drained.
Page 124: Replacing The Lamp
Replace the lamp indicated by the flashing indicator, either lamp 1 or 2. • The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate. Turn off this product when not in use to prolong the life of the projector.

You can check projected images on an external monitor when giving presentations even if you cannot see the screen.
Page 140: Removing And Attaching The Projector Lens Unit
Removing Caution: • Only remove the lens unit when necessary. If dust or dirt enter the projector, projection quality deteriorates and it could cause a malfunction. • Try not to touch the lens with your hand or fingers. If fingerprints or oils are left on the surface of the lens, projection quality deteriorates.
Page 141: Attaching
Once it is released, pull the lens unit straight out. Attaching Caution: Do not remove or attach the lens unit when the projector's lens area is facing up (for projecting directly up). Dust or dirt could enter the projector. Procedure Insert the lens unit straight into the lens insertion section with the white circle on the lens on top.
Page 142 Removing and Attaching the Projector Lens Unit While holding the lens unit firmly, turn the lock lever clockwise until it is locked. Check that the lens cannot be detached. Replace the front cover. 1 Install the cover along the guide.
Page 143 • Install the front cover before using the projector. • Store the projector with the lens unit installed. If the projector is stored without the lens unit, dust and dirt may get inside the projector and cause malfunctions or lower the quality of projection.

Glossary Glossary This section explains easily terms that are used with the projector and difficult terms that are not explained in the text of this guide. For details, refer to other commercially available publications. AMX Device Discovery AMX Device Discovery is a technology developed by AMX to facilitate AMX control systems for easy operation of the target equipment.
Page 163 Sync. The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and the troughs in the signal) is called Synchronization.
Page 164 Glossary Refresh Rate The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and color for an extremely short time. Because of this, the image must be scanned many times per second to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is called the Refresh Rate and is expressed in hertz (Hz).
