Install the movable metal mesh  7. 
filter to the filter cleaning unit.
When reassembling, align the edge of the  • 
movable metal mesh filter with position A.
Hook the movable metal mesh filter onto the  • 
gear and the rail.
The movable metal mesh filter will be set to the  • 
correct position after the set is installed and the 
power is turned on, so it can be installed in the 
middle position during reassembly without any 
problem.

Attention
The air filter must be installed before using the  • 
projector. If the projector is used without the air filter 
installed, foreign particles and dust will get inside 
the projector and cause problems with operation.

Note
If cleaning cannot remove the dust completely, then it is a sign to replace the static electric mesh filter. Consult  • 
the dealer. In addition, when the lamp unit is replaced, also replace the static electric mesh filter.
Do not wash the static electric mesh filter with water.  • 
Use a neutral detergent to clean off any oil from the movable metal mesh filter. Thoroughly rinse off the neutral  • 
detergent.

Replacement of lamp unit
WARNING
Wait until the lamp is cooled sufficiently before replacing the lamp unit. • 
Make sure that all four lamp units are installed. • 
Replacement of the lamp unit should be carried out by a qualified technician. • 
Do not remove any screws (such as the black screws) other than those indicated when replacing the  • 
lamp unit. If this is not observed, electric shocks, burns or other injuries may occur.
Precautions on lamp unit replacement
Be careful when handling a light source lamp. The lamp unit has high internal pressure. If improperly handled,  • 
failure might result.
A used lamp unit may burst if it is handled violently. For disposition of used lamps, request an industrial waste  • 
disposal contractor.
If you continue to use a lamp after the replacement time, the lamp may break. • 
Phillips screwdriver is necessary when replacing a lamp unit. Take care not to slip your hand when using a  • 
screwdriver.
Attention
A lamp unit is an optional part. Contact the dealer. • 
Replacement Lamp Unit model No.:  ET-LAD12K (single bulb), ET-LAD12KF (4 bulbs)
Rating: 300 W
Other lamps than specified above cannot be used. Be sure to use the specified lamp. • 
Timing of lamp unit replacement
The lamp used for the light source has its due life. The life of the lamp used in the main unit is 2 000 hours. 
However, it may happen that the lamp becomes dead (will not light) by the time of 2 000 hours depending on the 
characteristics of individual lamps and working conditions (lamp life is affected by the times of lighting and the 
intervals between previous lighting and next lighting). Therefore, it is strongly recommended for the user to keep a 
spare bulb.
If a lamp unit has not been replaced after 2 000 hours of operation have elapsed, the lamp will turn off 
automatically. When the operating time for all of the lamps reaches 2 000 hours or more, the power will turn off 
automatically approximately 10 minutes after it is turned on, and the projector will switch to standby mode.
Attention
Clean and replace the air filter when replacing the lamp units. (pp. 110-111) • 
Indication after 1 800 hours  „
When lamp unit used hours have reached 1 800 hours, lamp monitor (LAMP1, LAMP2, LAMP3, or LAMP4) 
light up including standby state.
Further, an on-screen indication will appear for about 30 seconds as shown in the diagram, recommending 
replacement of lamp unit. (The indication will disappear after about 30 seconds or when either control button 
on the main unit or remote control button is pressed.)
After 2 000 hours, the on-screen indication will not disappear unless the menu (MENU) button is pressed.
REPLACE THE LAMP

Procedure of  lamp unit replacement
Turn the main power OFF, following the procedures described in  1. 
“Powering up the projector” (p. 36) and “Powering off the projector” 
(p. 37), disconnect the power plug from the AC power source, and wait 
for one hour or more. Then check that the lamp unit has cooled down.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to  2. 
loosen the lamp unit cover screw 
at the rear of the projector until 
the screw turns freely.
Open the lamp unit cover and  3. 
remove it from the projector.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to  4. 
loosen the three fixing screws for 
the lamp unit to be replaced until 
the screws turn freely. Hold the 
handle of the lamp unit and gently 
pull the lamp unit out from the 
projector.
CAUTION
The lamp unit and structural parts around the 
lamp unit will be hot immediately after the 
projector has been used.
You might get burned if you touch it while it is still 
hot.

Notes when installing the ceiling mount bracket
When installing the ceiling mount bracket to the projector, install the accessory eye bolts and wires to the 
projector. (The projector will still be safe if they are not used, however they will help prevent the possibility of 
accidents caused by the projector falling down if the screws happen to become loose.)
Installation should be carried out by a qualified technician by following the procedure given below.
Panasonic takes no responsibility for any losses or damage occurring as a result of using a ceiling mount  • 
bracket not manufactured by Panasonic, or if damage to the projector occurs as a result of an inappropriate 
location used for installing the ceiling mount bracket, even if the projector’s warranty period has not yet expired.
Use a torque screwdriver or similar tool to tighten the screws. Do not use tools such as electric screwdrivers or  • 
impact screwdrivers.
Dispose of any used products as soon as possible by asking a qualified technician for assistance. • 
Attention
Be sure to use the accessory eye bolts and wires. • 
Installation procedure
Place the projector on a soft cloth  1. 
with the base facing upward.
Turn the four adjustable feet  2. 
counterclockwise and remove 
them from the projector.
The adjustable feet will be used if the projector is 
installed normally, so store them safely.

When the projector is used in high altitude mode (1 400 to 2 700 m), the ambient temperature is 0 ÃC to 40 ÃC. 
Furthermore, if the ambient temperature becomes 40 
ÃC or more (35 ÃC in high altitude mode) when using the 
projector with lamp 4 lit, light output may be reduced by approximately 30% to protect the projector.
When a smoke cut filter is used, the ambient temperature is 0 
ÃC to 35 ÃC. However, use at high altitudes is not 
possible.
