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 1,100 hours? The power will no longer switch on once
the timer has exceeded 1,100 hours.
* Has the connected input been selected?
* Is the cable of the input connector properly connected?
* Are the Picture 1 brightness and contrast adjustments (incorrectly) set to a mini-
mum?
* Has the lamp burned out?
* In the case of DVI input, has a signal other than a supported signal type been input?
* Is the STATUS indicator flashing?
* 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 angle?
* 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 resolu-
tion of your personal computer.
* 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.
* 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 vicinity of the sensor?
* Are the batteries weak? Try directing the remote control toward the remote control
sensor from a close distance and operating it. If there is difficulty in changing settings,
the batteries are weak. Replace the batteries with new ones.
* See the STATUS indicator list.
* Has the LED been set to off? Problem

At the same time, the temperature protector is activated and the projector power may be switched off.
Should this occur, proceed with the following actions.
1. Switch off the power and disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet.
2. Check the following matters and take the required measures.
When the projector is being used in a location that has a high ambient temperature, install it in a cool location. Check the outflow and intake
holes and clean them if they are obstructed.
3. Wait about 60 minutes until the temperature of the projector drops.
If after having performed the above matters, the problem still has not been solved, consult your PLUS dealer.

Replacing the Lamp Cartridge
NOTE: The projector lamp has its usable life.
The rated lamp life is about 1000 hours. How-
ever, it may become shorter depending on the
conditions of usage.
(The rated lamp life is the average life of the
lamps produced and tested, under the test con-
ditions of our company, for a long term.)
After the lamp has been operating for 1000 hours or longer, the STATUS indicator
will light and the message Replace The Lamp will appear on the screen. Should
this happen, turn off the projector and replace the lamp cartridge with a new one.
The projector will not turn on after 1100 hours.

Obtain a replacement lamp cartridge at the store where the projector was purchased.
Please specify the following information when ordering a replacement lamp cartridge:
Unit model number: HE-3100L for the exclusive use of HE-3100
Part number: 27-050.
CAUTION
Follow these steps before replacing the lamp cartridge:
Press the ON/STANDBY button on the remote control to turn off the power. The POWER/ 
 indicator will change to steady
light in green from flashing in amber.
Press the POWER button on the projector cabinet turn off the projector.
Unplug the power cord.
Wait at least 60 minutes for the lamp cartridge to cool.
DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP CARTRIDGE immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot.

Do not remove any screws except for those mentioned in the instructions below.

Do not touch the lamp. Doing so may shorten the lamp life.

The lamp may explode if improperly mishandled.

If lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter. When this happens, an explosive sound can be heard
and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp cartridge. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this
happens, contact your dealer or the store where the projector was purchased.
Preparation:Unplug the projector. Prepare the new lamp cartridge and a plus-headed screwdriver.
Lay a soft cloth sheet underneath the projector with its upside down to prevent scratches.
