Appendix

This chapter provides information on maintenance procedures to ensure the best level of performance from the projector for a long time to come.

Installation Methods

93
The projector supports the following four different projection methods. Install according to the conditions of the installation location.
Warning
A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
If you use adhesives on the Ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount and could damage the projector. When installing or adjusting the Ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so on.
Attention
Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.

Cleaning

94
You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.

Cleaning the Projector's Surface

Clean the projector's surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.
If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water containing a small amount of neutral detergent, then firmly wring the cloth to wipe the projector's surface, and then finish by wiping with a dry cloth.
Attention
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to clean the projector's surface. The quality of the case may change or become discolored.

Cleaning the Lens

Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses to gently wipe the lens.

Cleaning the Air filter

Clean the air filter and the Air intake vent when the following message is displayed.
"The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent, and clean or replace the air filter."
Attention
If dust collects on the air filter it can cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation and shorten the optical engine's service life. Clean the air filter immediately when the message is displayed.
Do not rinse the air filter in water. Do not use detergents or solvents.
Warning
Do not use sprays that contain flammable gas to remove dust and lint from the lens. The projector may catch fire due to the high internal temperature of the lamp.
Attention
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.
q
If a message is frequently displayed, even after cleaning, it is time to
replace the air filter. Replace it with a new air filter. s p.99
It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.

Replacing Consumables

This section explains how to replace the Remote Control batteries, the Lamp, and the air filter.

Replacing the Remote Control Batteries

If delays in the responsiveness of the Remote Control occur or if it does not operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the batteries are becoming flat. When this happens, replace them with new batteries. Have two AA size manganese or alkaline batteries ready. You cannot use other batteries except for the AA size manganese or alkaline.
Attention
Make sure you read the Safety Instructions before handling the batteries.
s
Safety Instructions
95
Caution
Check the positions of the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery holder to ensure the batteries are inserted the correct way.
Procedure
A
B
Remove the battery cover.
While pushing the battery compartment cover catch, lift the cover up.
Replace the old batteries with new batteries.
C
Attach the battery cover.
Press the battery compartment cover until it clicks into place.

Replacing the Lamp

It is time to replace the Lamp when:
Replacing Consumables
96
The message "Replace the lamp." is displayed when you start projecting.
A message is displayed.
The Lamp indicator flashes orange.
Attention
The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following time periods in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the projected images.
s
p.60 When Power Consumption is set to Normal: About 4900 hours When Power Consumption is set to ECO: About 5900 hours
If you continue to use the Lamp after the replacement period has passed, the possibility that the lamp may explode increases. When the Lamp replacement message appears, replace the Lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.
Do not repeatedly turn off the power and immediately back on. Turning the power on and off frequently may shorten the lamp's operating life.
Depending on the characteristics of the Lamp and the way it has been used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before the lamp warning message appears. You should always have a spare lamp unit ready in case it is needed.
How to replace the lamp
The Lamp can be replaced even when the projector is suspended from a ceiling.
The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
Warning
When replacing the Lamp because it has stopped illuminating, there is a possibility that the Lamp may be broken. If replacing the Lamp of a projector which has been installed on the ceiling, you should always assume that the Lamp is broken, and you should stand to the side of the Lamp cover, not underneath it. Remove the Lamp cover gently.
Never disassemble or remodel the Lamp. If a remodeled or reassembled Lamp is installed into the projector and used, it could cause a fire, electric shock, or an accident.
Replacing Consumables
Caution
Wait until the Lamp has cooled down sufficiently before removing the Lamp cover. If the lamp is still hot, burns or other injuries may result. It takes about one hour after the power has been turned off for the Lamp to be cool enough.
