• Be sure to insert the inner padding

to protect the lens and the projector.

• Be sure to attach the lens cap to

protect the lens.

• Be sure the projector has cooled

down enough before placing it in the
case.

• This carrying case is only for storing and

carrying the projector.

• Sending the projector in the carrying case

as a parcel may cause damage to the
projector. If you send the projector in the
carrying case as a parcel, be sure to
place it in a sturdy case and with enough
shock absorbing material to avoid any
damage.

• Do not expose the carrying case or pro-

jector to direct sunlight, near heat
sources, or leave them in a car. The car-
rying case or projector may change color
or become deformed.

Adjust the
shoulder
strap.

■ Use a commercially available blower or lens

cleaning paper (for glasses and camera lenses)
for cleaning the lens. Do not use any liquid type
cleaning agents, as they may wear off the coat-
ing film on the surface of the lens.

■ As the surface of the lens can easily get dam-

aged, be sure not to scrape or hit the lens.

■ Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the

exhaust vent and the intake vent.

Cleaning

Paper

■ Be sure to unplug the power cord before clean-

ing the projector.

■ The cabinet as well as the operation panel is

made of plastic. Avoid using benzene or thinner,
as these can damage the finish on the cabinet.

■ Do not use volatile agents such as insecticides

on the projector.
Do not attach rubber or plastic items on the pro-
jector for long time.

    The effects of some of the agents in the plastic

may cause damage to the quality or finish of the
projector.

■ Wipe off dirt gently with a soft flannel cloth.

■ When the dirt is hard to remove, soak a cloth in a

neutral detergent diluted with water, wring the
cloth well and then wipe the projector.
Strong cleaning detergents may discolor, warp
or damage the coating on the projector.
Make sure to test on a small, inconspicuous area
on the projector before using.

• If the TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator illuminates, and the power turns off, follow the above possible

solutions and then wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plugging in the power cord and
turning the power back on. (At least 5 minutes.)

• If the power is turned off and then turned on again, as during a brief test, the LAMP REPLACEMENT indica-

tor may be triggered, preventing the power from going on. Should this occur, take the power cord out of the
wall outlet and plug it back in again.

• If you want to clean the air vents during projector operation, be sure to first press 

 and after the power has

turned off and the cooling fan has stopped, then clean the vents.

• Do not unplug the power cord after the power has been turned off and while the cooling fan is running. The

cooling fan runs for about 90 seconds.

If the temperature inside the projector in-
creases, due to blockage of the air vents, or
the setting location, “

” will blink in the

lower left corner of the picture. If the tem-
perature keeps on rising, the lamp will turn
off and the TEMPERATURE WARNING in-
dicator will blink, the cooling fan will run for
further 90 seconds, then the power will be
shut off. After “

” appears, be sure to

perform the following measures.

■ The warning lights on the projector indicate problems inside the projector.

■ If a problem occurs, either the TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator or the LAMP REPLACEMENT

■ When the lamp

exceeds 1,900 cumulative hours
of use, “

on the screen in yellow. When
the cumulative hours of use
reach 2,000, “

” will

change to red, the lamp will au-
tomatically turn off and then the
projector as well. At this time, the
LAMP REPLACEMENT indica-
tor will illuminate in red.

■ If you try to turn on the projector

a fourth time without replacing
the lamp, the projector will not
turn on.
