Installing the Projector
Precautions for Installation
Please read the following properly when installing the projector.
Installation Environment
Please do not install or use this projector in the following places. The projector is a precision device and doing so could cause a fire or malfunction.
• Where there is water, humidity or dust.
• Where the projector may be subjected to oil, smoke or
cigarette smoke.
• On a soft surface such as a carpet or cushion.
• Where the projector may be subjected to direct sunlight.
• Where temperature is high or low.
Allowable operation temperature range : +5°C to +35°C
Allowable relative humidity range: 20% to 80%
(no condensation)
Allowable storage temperature range: –10°C to +60°C
•Any room in which there is smoke and grease.
Even where smoke and grease levels are minimal, prolonged exposure will affect the projector. The projector
emits heat and optical components are cooled down by
taking in large amount of air. The optical path being soiled
by grease/dirt can cause images to become dark and
the color projection to deteriorate. After soiling, removing grease/dirt totally from the optical parts is not possible.
Precaution for Usage
This projector uses a light-source lamp which reaches
high temperatures when projecting.
Please DO NOT use it in the following ways as doing
so may result in fire or malfunction.
• Projecting images while the projector is on its side.
• Projecting images outside the specified angle.
Do not use the projector while it is set more than ±5°
horizontally (left/right), or more than ±25° vertically (up/
down). This could cause color variation or shorten the
lamp life.
• Use while blocking the exhaust vents.
Minimum Space Required
Do not use a cover which may enclose the projector
air-tight or block the exhaust vents. Allow sufficient
space around the projector. When the projector is enclosed in a space of the following dimensions, use an
air conditioner so that internal and external temperatures are the same.
300mm

Mounting the Projector
When mounting of the projector is required, do it using the embedded three screw holes (M6 nuts) at the bottom of the projector.
Precaution for ceiling-mount
•To ceiling-mount and adjust the projector, special expertise and techniques are necessary. Be sure to ask your
dealer or specialist to perform the work.
• Do not mount on places that will be subjected to knocks
and vibrations.
• As the depth of the screw holes is 10mm, use screws
shorter than 10mm but longer than 6mm. Otherwise, the
screws will damage the internal parts of the projector
causing malfunction.

Replacing the Lamp
The light source lamp and its lamp time
The light-source lamp has a service life. The life of lamps currently used for this projector is about 2000 hours.
[Average lamp life: 2000 hours]
When the light-source lamp approaches the end of its service life, deterioration progresses rapidly. Please install a new lamp when
the accumulated lamp time exceeds 1900 hours or at least get a replacement lamp ready. Depending on the operating conditions,
the lamp may have to be changed earlier. If the image remains dark or the tone, unusual, even after adjustment, please replace the
lamp as soon as possible. You can check the accumulated used hours of the lamp via the “Lamp Time” item in the “Information”
menu. (☞ page 40)
Please purchase the new lamp unit from the authorized dealer where you purchased the projector.
Exchange lamp Part No.: BHL5006-S
䡵 When lamp time exceeds 1000 hours:
When the accumulated lamp time reaches 1000, a message
indicating “1000 h” will appear on the projected screen.
* Press any key to delete the message.
䡵 When lamp time exceeds 1900 hours:
• When the accumulated lamp time reaches 1900 hours:
The LAMP indicator on the projector lights up.
• When the accumulated lamp time exceeds 1900 hours:
“Lamp replacement” appears on the screen.
* Press any button to delete the message.
䡵 When the lamp time exceeds 2000 hours:
The lamp indicator on the projector blinks.
“Warning” and “Lamp replacement” appear on the screen;
the word “Warning” blinks.
❈ To cancel the message, press the EXIT button.
However, the same message will appear again every one hour.
❈ Once the lamp time exceeds 2000 hours, and the projec
tor is either put into the standby state or turned off, projec
tion will not be possible again until the lamp is replaced
and the “Lamp time” is reset. (☞ page 45)
䡵 When the lamp time exceeds 2010 hours:
The projector quits and shuts down.
The LAMP and OPERATE indicators blink on the projector.
❈ The projector does not turn on unless the lamp (lamp unit)
is replaced and the “Lamp time” is reset. (☞ page 45)
About lamp replacement
● If the projector is set in a constricted place, attempting to replace the lamp in that place could cause injury. Move the projector
to a place large enough to work in.
● To avoid malfunctions, be sure to use only genuine replacement parts. Also, never attempt to re-use an old lamp as this could
cause marked performance deterioration or lamp blow-out leading to projector malfunction. In the worse case, broken pieces
of glass from the lamp may cause injuries.
● Do not replace the lamp immediately after the projector has been used. The temperature of the lamp unit is still high and
could cause a burn. Allow a cooling period of one hour or more before replacement.
● Before starting to replace the lamp, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet while the STAND BY indicator is on.
Replacing a lamp while the power cord is connected could cause injury or electric shocks.
The procedure for lamp replacement
1.
Loosen the screws and detach the light-source lamp cover.
Loosen the two screws with a ª screwdriver.
2.
Loosen the screws and lift up the handle.
Loosen the two screws with a ª screwdriver.

Replacing the Lamp
3.
Remove the lamp unit.
4.
Insert the new lamp unit until it is fully in.
Caution
• Neither touch the glass surface of the lamp directly
with your hand nor stain it. If you touch it with a bare
hand, oil or other substances on your hand may adhere to the lamp, possibly preventing it from performing as specified and therefore lead to a shortened
lamp life, a darkened screen, etc.
Lamp unit
5.
Close the handle, and tighten the screw.
Tighten the two screws with a ª screwdriver.
6.
Attach the light-source lamp cover and tighten
the screw.
Tighten the two screws with a ª screwdriver.
Note
• When closing the lamp cover, please insert the left
side (with the two claws) in first and then ensure that
the protruding part found on the reverse side of the
cover fits snugly into the hole of the main unit. As
this protrusion acts as a switch, misfitting leads to
power not being able to flow in.
44
Replacing the Lamp
Resetting the lamp time
After installing a new lamp, reset the “Lamp time” counter inside the projector.
When this is done, a new count will start.
If the display of the accumulated lamp time has reached 2000 hours, the projector will not work (lamp does not light up) unless the
lamp time is reset.
1.
Insert the main plug. The projector will go into the stand
by mode.
ON: STAND BY indicator lights up.
2.
Press the EXIT, HIDE, PRESET buttons on the remote
control sequentially, then press VOL ª for 2 seconds or
more.
The STAND BY and OPERATE indicators alternately blink about
every approx.3 seconds. After blinking stops, “Lamp time” resets
and the projector returns to the stand-by state (STAND BY indicator
lights up).

Caution for reset work
Reset the “Lamp time” only when you have replaced the lamp.
Never reset it while the lamp is still in use, otherwise the approximate standard for gauging replacement time may be inaccurate, lamp
performance may suffer and lamp blow-out may also occur.

Cleaning and Replacing the Filter
Clean the filter regularly or it may not work satisfactorily, causing damage. If the filter is extremely dirty and cannot be cleaned, or
if it is damaged, replace the filter with a new one (Lower filter: LC32087-001/ Inner filter:LC32058-001). Otherwise, dirt may get
inside the unit and appear on the screen, preventing you from enjoying the video fully. If dirt has gotten in or if you need information
about the filter, please consult the authorized dealer where you purchased the projector.
❈ The air inlet filter on the right side cannot be removed. Please clean this filter regularly using, for example, a vacuum
cleaner.
1.
Pull out the power cord from the wall outlet.
After the projector goes into the stand-by state with the
STAND BY indicator on, pull out the power cord from the
wall outlet.
2.
Remove the filter.
• When removing the lower filter:
Withdraw the lower filter backwards along the rail in the
direction of the arrow.
• When removing the inner filter:
Push the claw at the base of the inner filter in the upward direction and draw the filter out.
3.
Clean the filter.
Clean the filter with water and dry it, avoiding direct sunlight. In extremely soiled cases, use of a neutral detergent
is recommended.
