Maintenance

Replacing the filter

Filter prevents dust from accumulating on the optical elements inside the projector. Should the filter become
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. If a "Filter warning" icon appears on the screen, replace the filter immedi-
ately by following the steps below.
1
Turn off the projector, and unplug the AC power cord
from the AC outlet.
2
First, clean up the dust on the projector and around the
air vents.
3
Loosen the screw and open the lamp cover and lift the
filter out of the projector.
4
Reinstall the filter completely and close the lamp cover
and secure the screw.
5
Connect the AC power cord to the projector and turn on
the projector.
6
Reset the filter counter.
CAutION
- D o not operate the projector with the filter re-
moved. Dust may accumulate on the optical ele-
ments degrading picture quality.
- D o not put anything into the air vents. Doing so
may result in malfunction of the projector.
- D o not wash the filter with water or any other liq-
uid matter. Otherwise the filter may be damaged.
rECOMMENDAtION
We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments when
you operate the projector. Usage in these environments may
cause poor image quality.
When using the projector under dusty or smoky conditions,
dust may accumulate on a lens, or optical elements inside
the projector degrading the quality of a projected image.
When the symptoms above are noticed, clean up the lens
or other optical parts by referring to the chapter "Cleaning
the projector".
