What does the 'Temp' indicator mean?

The Temp LED indicates an overheating issue. Ensure the projector has adequate ventilation and that the air filter is clean. If the problem persists, let the projector cool down and restart.

How do I adjust the image size?

Use the zoom ring on the lens to adjust image size. Move the projector closer or farther from the screen to change size, then use focus ring to sharpen the image.

Can I play audio through the projector?

Yes, the projector has a built-in 2W speaker. Connect your audio source to the Audio In port. For better sound, connect external speakers to the Audio Out port.

Why is the image flickering?

Flickering may be caused by a loose cable, incompatible refresh rate, or a failing lamp. Try a different cable, set your source to 60 Hz, or check the lamp status.

How do I reset the lamp timer?

After replacing the lamp, go to the Setup menu (press Menu on remote), navigate to Lamp Reset, and select Yes to reset the timer.

Maintenance

The projector needs proper maintenance. You should keep the lens clean as dust, dirt or spots will project on the screen and diminish image quality. If any other parts need replacing, contact your dealer or qualified service personnel. When cleaning any part of the projector, always switch off and unplug the projector first.

Warning:

Never open any of the covers on the projector. Dangerous electrical voltages inside the projector can cause severe injury. Do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Cleaning the Lens

Gently wipe the lens with lens cleaning paper. Do not touch the lens with your hands.

Cleaning the Projector Housing

Gently wipe with a soft cloth. If dirt and stains are not easily removed, use a soft cloth damped with water, or water and neutral detergent, and wipe dry with a soft, dry cloth.

■ Turn off the projector and remove the AC power cord from the power outlet before beginning maintenance work.
■ Make sure the lens is cool before cleaning.
■ Do not use detergents or chemicals other than those noted above. Do not use benzene or thinners.
■ Do not use chemical sprays.
■ Use a soft cloth or lens paper only.

Replacing the Lamp

Projector lamps have a finite life. Replace the lamp when:

■ The image becomes darker and hues become weaker after a lamp has been for a long period of time.
■ The projector lamp LED indicator turns into amber. Refer to section titled “LED Indicator Messages” for further details.

The lamp becomes high temperature after turning off the projector with the power button. If you touch the lamp, you may scald your finger. When you replace the lamp, wait for at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool down.
■ Do not touch the lamp glass at any time. The lamp may explode due to improper handling, including the touching of the lamp glass.
Lamp lifetime may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no guarantee of the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their lifetime in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
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.
■ Wear protective gloves and eyeglasses when fixing or detaching the lamp.
■ Faster on-off-cycles will damage the lamp and reduce lamp life. Wait at least for 5 minutes to turn off the projector after powering on.
- Do not operate the lamp in proximity to paper, cloth, or other combustible material nor cover it with such materials. Otherwise it could cause a fire.
■ Do not operate the lamp in an atmosphere containing an inflammable substance, such as thinner. Otherwise it could cause a fire or explosion.
■ Thoroughly ventilate the area or the room when operating the lamp in an oxygen atmosphere (in the air). If ozone is inhaled, it could cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, etc.
The inorganic mercury is involved in the lamp. If the lamp bursts, the mercury inside the lamp will go out of the projector. Leave the area immediately if the lamp shatters while being operated and ventilate the area for at least 30 minutes in order to avoid the inhalation of mercury fumes. Otherwise it could be harmful to user's health.

1. Turn off the projector and unplug the AC power cord.

2. Place a protective sheet (cloth) beneath the projector. Turn the projector over so you can access the lamp cover.

3. Loosen the access panel screws and open the panel.

4. Loosen the screws on the bottom of the lamp assembly.

5. Grasp the lamp handle and pull the lamp assembly directly out of the projector.

6. Replace with the new lamp.

7. Tighten the screws on the bottom of lamp assembly.

8. Tighten the screws on the lamp cover.

■ Dispose of the used lamp according to local regulations.

■ Ensure that screws are tightened properly. Screws not tightened fully may result in injury or accidents.

■ Since the lamp is made of glass, do not drop the unit and do not scratch the glass.

■ Do not reuse the old lamp. This could cause the lamp to explode.

■ Be sure to turn off the projector and unplug the AC power cord before replacing the lamp.

■ Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed.
