I When the dirt is hard to remove, soak a cloth in a neutral detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth well and then wipe the projector. Strong cleaning detergents may discolor, warp or damage the coating on the projector.
• The ventilative holes should be cleaned every 100 hours of use. Clean the ventilative holes more often when the projector is used in a dirty or smoky location. Cleaning the Ventilative Holes Turn off the power and discon- nect the power cord.
Maintenance Indicators I The warning lights on the projector indicate problems inside the projector. I If a problem occurs, either the temperature warning indicator or the lamp replacement indicator will illuminate red, and the power will turn off. After the power has been turned off, follow the proce- dures given below.
Page 76
If the temperature warning indicator illuminates, and the power turns off, follow the above possible solutions and then wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plugging in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 5 minutes.) If the power is turned off and then turned on again, as during a brief test, the lamp replacement indicator may be triggered, preventing the power from going on.
Replacing the Lamp Caution Do not remove the lamp unit immediately after operation of the projector. The lamp will be hot and touching it can lead to burn or injury. Wait at least one hour after the power cord is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to fully cool before removing the lamp unit.
Wait until the cooling fan stops. Warning! Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may cause burn or injury. Disconnect the power cord. Unplug the power cord from the AC socket.
Attach the lamp unit cover. Close the lamp unit cover in the direc- tion of the arrow (to the close mark) on the side of the projector. Then tighten the user service screw. Info If the lamp unit and lamp cover are not...
