Filter Instructions

Filter prevents dust from accumulating on the optical elements inside the projector. Should the filter becomes clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans' effectiveness and may result in internal heat buildup and adversely affect the life of the projector. This projector has an electrically operated filter which helps you to replace the filter easily. The projector monitors the condition of the filter at all time and replaces a filter with a new one automatically when it detects the clogging.

If the projector reaches a time set in the timer setting (p.56), a Filter replacement icon (Fig.1) appears on the screen and the WARNING FILTER indicator on the top control lights up. When you see this icon, replace the filter as soon as possible (p.52) and reset the Filter counter (p.59). If the filter is out of scroll and the projector reaches a time set in the timer setting, Fig. 2 appears on the screen, indicating that the filter cartridge replacement is necessary.

When the filter scroll is counted down to 1, the Last scroll icon (Fig.3) appears on the screen, indicating that there is one scroll left in the filter cartridge (p.56).

If the projector detects that the filter is clogged and no scroll is left in the filter cartridge, a Filter cartridge replacement icon (Fig. 4) appears on the screen and the WARNING FILTER indicator on the top control lights up. When you see this icon, replace the filter cartridge (p.58) and reset the Filter counter (p.59) and the Scroll counter (p.59).

When the filter is being scrolled using the Filter control function in the setting menu (p.52), a Filter replacement icon and "Please wait..." message (Fig.5) appear on the screen and the WARNING FILTER indicator blinks slow (approx. 2 seconds ON, 2 seconds OFF).

The WARNING FILTER indicator blinks fast when the projector detects an abnormal condition, the filter cartridge is not installed properly, or the filter scroll is not working properly.

√ Notes:

  • Fig.1, Fig.2, Fig.3, Fig.4 and Fig.5 will not appear when the Display function is set to "Off" (p.47), during "Freeze" (p.23), or "No show" (p.24).
  • The filter cannot be rewound.
  • The filter can be scrolled 9 times since the filter cartridge has 10 scrolls.
  • The filter cartridge is disposable. Do not clean and reuse the filter cartridge.
  • Do not expose the filter cartridge to water or liquid, or it may cause a breakdown.
  • Replace the filter cartridge after all the scroll is used up. If you replace the filter cartridge when there are some scrolls left in the filter cartridge, the filter counter and the scroll counter do not recognize the correct number of remaining scrolls and the reset function cannot work properly. It may cause a breakdown.
  • Do not use the filter cartridge with other projector. The filter counter and the scroll counter do not recognize the correct number of remaining scrolls of the used filter cartridge and the reset function cannot work properly. It may cause a breakdown.

LAMP HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and properly. Improper handling may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.

  • Lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no guarantee of the same life for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their life in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
  • If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if the LAMP REPLACE indicator lights up, replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down. (Follow carefully the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual.) Continuous use of the lamp with the LAMP REPLACE indicator lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.
  • A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours of use as its lifetime draws to an end. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in which the projector and lamp are being used.

IF A LAMP EXPLODES, THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN.

If a lamp explodes, disconnect the projector's AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an authorized service station for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp. Additionally, check carefully to ensure that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out from the cooling air circulation holes. Any broken shards found should be cleaned up carefully. No one should check the inside of the projector except those who are authorized trained technicians and who are familiar with projector service. Inappropriate attempts to service the unit by anyone, especially those who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of broken glass.

WARNING TEMP. indicator

The WARNING TEMP. indicator shows the state of the function which protects the projector. Check the state of the WARNING TEMP. indicator and the POWER indicator to take proper maintenance.

The projector is shut down and the WARNING TEMP. indicator is blinking red.

When the temperature inside the projector reaches a certain level, the projector is automatically shut down to protect the inside of the projector. The POWER indicator is blinking while the projector is being cooled down. When the projector has cooled down sufficiently (to its normal operating temperature), it can be turned on again by pressing the POWER ON/STAND-BY button.

√ Note:

After the temperature inside the projector returns to normal, the WARNING TEMP. indicator still continues to blink. When the projector is turned on again, the WARNING TEMP. indicator stops blinking.

Then check the matters below:

  • Did you provide appropriate space for the projector to be ventilated? Check the installing condition to see if ventilation slots are not blocked.
  • Is the projector not installed near the ventilation duct of air-conditioning equipment which may be hot? Install the projector away from the ventilation duct of air-conditioning equipment.
  • Is the air filter clean? Replace the filter periodically. (p.52)

The projector is shut down and the WARNING TEMP. indicator emits a red light.

When the projector detects an abnormal condition, it is automatically shut down to protect the inside and the WARNING TEMP. indicator becomes red. In this case, disconnect the AC power cord and reconnect it, and then turn the projector on once again for check. If the projector cannot be turned on and the WARNING TEMP. indicator emits a red light, disconnect the AC power cord and contact the service station for check and repair.
