This section describes the simple maintenance procedures you should follow to clean the fi lter and replace the lamp.
❶
 Cleaning or Replacing the Filter
The air-fi lter sponge keeps dust and dirt from getting inside the projector and should be cleaned after every 100 
hours of operation (more often in dusty conditions). If the fi lter is dirty or clogged, your projector may overheat.
CAUTION
•  Turn off the projector, turn off the main power switch and unplug the projector before replacing the fi lter.
•  Only clean the outside of the fi lter cover with a vacuum cleaner.
•  Do not attempt to operate the projector without the fi lter cover.
To clean the air-fi lter:
Vacuum the fi lter through the fi lter cover.
To replace the fi lter (sponge):
1.  Remove the filter cover by pushing down on the catch of the cover until you feel it detach.

 Replacing the Lamp
After your lamp has been operating for 2000*1 hours (up to 3000*1 hours in Quiet mode) or longer, the LAMP indi-
cator in the cabinet will blink red and the message “Replace with the new lamp.”*2 will appear. Even though the 
lamp may still be working, replace it at 2000*1 (up to 3000*1 hours in Quiet mode) hours to maintain optimal projec-
tor performance. After replacing the lamp, be sure to clear the lamp counter. See page 
54.
CAUTION
•  DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off, 
wait 30 seconds, turn off the main power switch and then disconnect the power cord. Allow at least one hour 
for the lamp to cool before handling.
•  DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except two lamp case screws. You could receive an electric shock.
•  Do not break the glass on the lamp housing.
  Keep fi nger prints off the glass surface on the lamp housing. Leaving fi nger prints in the glass surface might 
cause an unwanted shadow and poor picture quality.
•  The projector will turn off and go into standby mode after 2100*
1 (up to 3100*1 hours in Quiet mode) hours of 
service. If this happens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you continue to use the lamp after 2000*1 hours (up to 
3000*1 hours in Quiet mode) of use, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the 
lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this happens, contact your dealer for 
lamp replacement.
