APPENDIX

CLEANING THE PROJECTION LENS

Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cleaning cloth.  Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner.
Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might scratch the lens.

When the projector is not in use, replace the lens cover.

Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens.

Follow these steps to clean the projection lens:

MAINTENANCE

TEMPERATURE WARNING INDICATOR

The TEMPERATURE WARNING Indicator flashes red when the internal temperature of the projector exceeds
the normal temperature.  The Indicator stops flashing when the temperature of the projector returns to normal.
When the TEMPERATURE WARNING Indicator continues to flash, check the items listed below.

The Ventilation slots of the projector may be blocked.  In such an event, reposition the projector so that the ventilation
slots are not obstructed.

AIR FILTER CARE AND CLEANING

Air filters may be clogged with dust particles.  Clean the air filters by following the section AIR FILTER CARE AND
CLEANING below.

1

2

If the TEMPERATURE WARNING Indicator remains on after performing the above checks, the Cooling Fans or the
Internal Circuits may be malfunctioning.  Contact service personnel from an authorized dealer or service station.

3

AIR FILTER

(Small)

Turn the power off, and disconnect the AC power cord from the
AC outlet.

Turn the projector upside down and remove two Air Filters
(Large and Small) by pulling the latches upward.

1

2

The Removable Air Filters prevent dust from accumulating on the surface of the Projection Lens and the
Projection  Mirror.  Should the Air Filters become clogged with dust particles, it will reduce the Cooling Fans'
effectiveness and may result in internal heat build up and adversely affect the life of the projector.
Clean the Air Filters following the steps below: 

Clean the Air Filters with brush or wash out the dust and
particles.

3

Replace each Air Filter properly. Make sure that the Air Filters
are fully inserted.

4

CAUTION

Do not operate the projector with the Air Filter removed.
Dust may accumulate on the LCD Panel and the Mirror
degrading picture quality.
Do not put small parts into the Air Intake Vents.  It may
result in malfunction of the projector.
The Air Filter is a small part.  Ensure that children don’t eat
or swallow it.

RECOMMENDATION

We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments when operating the projector.  Usage in these
environments may cause poor image quality.

When using under dusty or smoky conditions, dust may accumulate on the liquid crystal panel, lens, or optical elements
inside it.  This condition may degrade the quality of the projected image.
When the above symptoms are noticed, contact your authorized dealer or service station for proper cleaning.
