After cleaning the filter, be sure to select RESET and set the timer. The WARNING FILTER indicator and Filter warning icon will not turn off until the filter counter is reset.
Maintenance and Filter Cleaning In order to care for the projector appropriately, regular maintenance is required. The instructions described here will help minimize the need for optical cleaning, reduce the likelihood of costly repairs, and maximize lamp life. The projector uses a lamp which generates significant heat and thus requires a large amount of air to be drawn through the filter to cool the units. When the filter starts to clog, not enough air will be drawn into the projector housing.
Maintenance and Filter Cleaning Cleaning the Filter Filter prevents dust from accumulating on the optical elements inside the projector. Should the filter becomes clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans’ effectiveness and may result in internal heat buildup and adversely affect the life of the projector. If a “Filter warning” icon (yellow or red) appears on the screen and the WARNING FILTER indicator lights or blinks, clean the filter immediately.
Maintenance and Filter Cleaning Lamp Replacement When the projection lamp of the projector reaches its end of life, the Lamp replacement icon appears on the screen and LAMP REPLACE indicator lights yellow. Replace the lamp with a new one promptly. The timing when the LAMP REPLACE indicator should light is depending on the lamp mode.
Maintenance and Filter Cleaning Resetting the Lamp Counter Be sure to reset the Lamp counter after the lamp is replaced. When the Lamp counter is reset, the LAMP REPLACE indicator stops lighting and the Lamp replacement icon disappears. 1 Press the MENU button to display the On-Screen Menu. Use the Point 7 8 buttons to move the red frame pointer to the Setting Menu icon. 2 Use the Point ed buttons to move the red frame pointer to Lamp counter and then press the SELECT button.
Maintenance and Filter Cleaning Warning Indicators The WARNING indicators show the state of the function which protects the projector. Check the state of the WARNING indicators and the POWER indicator to take proper maintenance. The projector is shut down and the WARNING TEMP. indicator is blinking red. When the temperature inside the projector reaches a certain level, the projector will be automatically shut down to protect the inside of the projector.
Maintenance and Filter Cleaning Cleaning the Projection Lens Unplug the AC power cord before cleaning. Gently wipe the projection lens with a cleaning cloth that contains a small amount of non-abrasive camera lens cleaner, or use a lens cleaning paper or commercially available air blower to clean the lens. Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner. Abrasive cleaners, solvents, or other harsh chemicals might scratch the surface of the lens. When the projector is not in use, replace the lens cap.
