Troubleshooting
Check the following matters before requesting servicing.
* Has the power plug become disconnected from the
outlet?
* Is the lamp cover properly attached?
* Has the internal temperature become high? When the
internal temperature becomes very high, to protect
the unit the power will not switch on.
* Has the lamp timer exceeded 1100 hours? The power
will no longer switch on once the timer has exceeded
1100 hours.
* Has the connected input been selected?
* Is the cable of the input connector properly connected?
* If there is connection to a personal computer, is a
signal being output from the personal computer?
* Has a signal that is higher than the supported fre-
quency of the projector been input?
* Check that the image adjustment brightness and con-
trast are not set to minimum.
* Has the lamp burned out?
* Is the STATUS indicator blinking?
* When a monochrome video signal cannot be dis-
played properly, set the input selection to YCbCr.
* Is the projector installed properly?
* Is the keystone adjustment properly adjusted?
* Is the lens properly focussed?
* Are the projection screen and the projector installed
at the proper distance?
* Has the projection distance exceeded the focussing
range?
* Is there condensation on the lens and other parts?
When the projector has been stored in a cold location
and the power is switched on in a warm location, there
may be condensation on the lens and other internal
optical parts. Should this occur, wait several minutes
until the condensation disappears.
* Is the input signal being supported for resolution and
frequency? Check the resolution of your personal com-
puter.
* When the image is broken in the horizontal or vertical
direction, or the image does not fill the entire screen,
select a suitable aspect ratio.
* When a component signal is being input, the color
space setting is different. Perform the color space
setting. No power

Troubleshooting
* Other than for “Setup” and “Info.”, selection is not per-
mitted unless a signal is input to the projector and an
image or picture is projected.
* There will not be a display unless the personal com-
puter screen is being projected.
An image will not be output unless a video image is
being input.
* Has the transportation insulation sheet been re-
moved?
* Is an obstacle located between the remote control and
the remote control sensor of the main unit?
* Is the remote control out of range for its signal to reach
the sensor?
* Is there strong light or a fluorescent lamp in the vicin-
ity of the sensor?
* Are the batteries weak? Try directing the remote con-
trol toward the remote control sensor from a close
distance and operating it. If there is difficulty in chang-
ing settings, the batteries are weak. Replace the but-
ton battery (CR2025) with new one.
* See the STATUS indicator list.
* When projecting a rather dark image, the brightness
may be uneven in different parts of the image. This is
not a malfunction. Menu name cannot be se-
lected

Cleaning

Be certain to disconnect the power plug from the power outlet before cleaning.

Do not spray or otherwise expose the projector, lens, or screen to volatile substances such as insecti-
cides. Do not leave rubber or vinyl products in contact with the projector for long periods. Doing so
could cause them to undergo qualitative changes or the coatings may peel, etc.
Cleaning a Soiled Projector Main Unit
* Wipe with a lint-free, soft, dry cloth.
When very dirty, wipe with a cloth that has been moistened with a diluted neutral detergent, then finish
with a dry cloth. If a chemically-treated cloth is going to be used, please follow any written warnings.
* Do not wipe with thinner, benzene, or other solvents. Doing so could cause them to undergo qualitative
changes or the coatings may peel, etc.
* When removing the dust of the outflow and intake holes, use the brush attachment on a vacuum
cleaner to clean out the dust. Avoid using the vacuum directly without attaching the adapter as well as
the use of a nozzle adapter.
* Do not scratch or otherwise hit the projector body with your nails or other hard object, since this will
cause scratches.
Dirty Lens
* Clean using the same method you would use to clean a camera lens: Use a commercial blower for
camera use or cleaning paper for eye glasses. Be careful not to scratch the lens at this time.
Dust of the Intake and Outflow HolesDust that collects in the intake and outflow holes will obstruct the ventilation and cause the internal
temperature to rise which could cause damage. Clean this area carefully. As a guideline, clean at least
every 100 hours of usage.

* Clean out the holes from the outside
using a vacuum cleaner. Use the
brush adapter of the vacuum cleaner
to do this. Avoid using the vacuum
directly without attaching the adapter
as well as the use of a nozzle adapter.
Cleaning the Inside of the ProjectorCleaning of the inside of the projector is required about once a year. Failure to clean over a long period
while dust has collected inside the projector could cause a fire or breakdown. Do not clean the inside of
the projector by yourself. Please be sure to contact Olympus Digital Technical Support. 
						

							E-66
The lamp that is used as a light source in the projector has a limited service life. The rated service
life of the lamp is about 1000 hours. This could be shortened depending on conditions of use and
other factors.
When the lamp timer exceeds a usage time of 1000 hours, the STATUS indicator lights and the lamp
timer display appears on the screen. When usage time exceeds 1100 hours, the lamp will cease to light.
Should this occur, it is time to replace the lamp cartridge.
CAUTION
• To replace the lamp cartridge, first switch off the power, check that the POWER indicator has
changed to a steady amber, then unplug the power plug from the outlet and let the projector
stand for approximately 60 minutes before making the replacement.
Due to the high temperature, replacement of the lamp cartridge during operation or immedi-
ately after stopping the projector may cause burns.
• To prevent a dangerous situation, please perform the replacement work at a position that is
lower than the face.
In the event of the lamp cartridge bursting, working at a position that is above face level could
result in glass fragments or other substances entering the eyes or elsewhere causing injury.
• Do not remove screws other than the specified ones.
• The light source of the projector uses a mercury lamp having a high internal pressure (hereafter
referred to as a high-pressure mercury lamp or lamp). Please exercise due care in handling.
• When the usage time of the lamp exceeds 1000 hours, the STATUS indicator of the projector
lights.
Please promptly replace the lamp with a new one even if the lamp still lights normally.
• As a result of the deterioration of the high-pressure mercury lamp due to shocks, scratches,
and the passage of usage time, the lamps have characteristics such as not lighting and reach-
ing the end of their service life, and bursting with an associated loud noise.
• Do not touch the glass portion of the lamp cartridge with your bare hands. Doing so could
cause the lamp to burst or shorten the service life. The service life of the lamp may also vary
depending on the usage conditions and individual differences. Although infrequently, the lamp
may burst a little while after it was used.
• When the high-pressure mercury lamp bursts, glass fragments fly and scatter inside the lamp
house and outside of the projector, and the internal gas of the lamp can leak to the outside via
the ventilation holes of the projector.
Should the lamp burst, do not bring your face, hands, or other parts of your body close to the
projector. Promptly request a lamp replacement and internal inspection from Olympus Digital
Technical Support.
• The inside of the high-pressure mercury lamp contains substances that are harmful to the body
such as mercury and others substances. If your face, hands, or other parts of your body are
close to the projector when the lamp bursts and if the gas generated from the lamp is inhaled
or comes in contact with the body, please consult a doctor promptly.
• The lamps of projectors use the same harmful substances as fluorescent lamps and halogen
lamps (including mercury and halogen substances).
Please dispose of used lamps using the same classification method as typical fluorescent
lamps, etc.
