Replacement of a light source lamp
The light source lamp is designed to project the image on the LCD panels. When the light source lamp no longer functions, replace it with a new one to ensure optimum performance.
Caution:
• Do not remove the light source lamp from inside of this equipment immediately after using the projec­tor, you may get burned because of the high tem­perature of the light source lamp.
• When you replace the light source lamp, press the power button to power off, then wait for 120 sec­onds in stand-by mode to cool down the lamp and LCD panels. Turn off the main switch, unplug the power cord from the outlet and wait one hour so that the lamp is cooled to the touch.
• Do not remove the light source lamp except for re­placement. Careless treatment can cause injury or fire.
• Do not touch the lamp element directly. Oil residue on your hands could cause it to break and cause in­jury.
• Be sure not to drop the lamp lid screw into the pro­jector. Also be sure not to insert metal or any flam­mable objects, it may cause fire or an electric shock. If any objects are inserted, please unplug and con­tact your dealer.
• Install the lamp securely, failure may cause a fire.
4. Hold onto the projector by the handle as you pull out the lamp. Once the lamp has been removed, do not spill liquid on it, place it near flammable objects or where chil­dren can touch it. Otherwise, it will cause injury or fire.
5. Insert the new lamp securely into the projector body in the right direction.

How to reset the operation time meter
Plug in the power cord, switch on the projector and re­set lamp time by pressing the $, % and POWER but­tons simultaneously.
Caution:
The lamp you have removed, do not spill liquids on
it, place it near flammable objects or where children can touch it. Otherwise, it will cause injury or fire.
Be sure that the projector guide is firmly inserted
between the right and left lamp guides.
Important:
The projector will not turn on if you do not secure
the lamp lid.
The operation time meter must be reset after the
lamp has been replaced.
Do not reset the operation time meter unless the
lamp has been replaced.
The life of the lamp
The average life of the lamp for the projector is about 2,000 hours of consecutive use. Life span may differ according to operating environment, and may be shorter than 2,000 hours. Decreases in luminescence and/or color brightness will indicate that the light source lamp is in need of replacement. When lamp operation time exceeds 1,500 hours, the indicator will flash alternately between green and red (while the lamp is in operation; when the lamp is not in operation, the indicator will appear red only). When the lamp has been used for about 1,900 hours, the message LAMP!!. will appear on the screen for one minute. When the lamp has been used for about 2,000 hours, the projector will automati­cally shut off for the safety of the lamp and the power indicator light up in red. The projector cannot be used until the lamp has been replaced, and operation timer has been reset.
ENGLISH
Caution:
The light source lamp is fragile. If broken, be care-
ful not to cut yourself with glass fragments.
The lamp life depends on the environment. For re-
placement lamps, please contact your dealer.
The projector automatically shuts off when the lamp is used up in about 2,000 hours and the projector will not come on until the lamp is exchanged and operation timer reset.

Maintenance
Caution:
Be sure to turn off the projector and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you perform any main­tenance on the projector.

1. Press and raise the air-filter cover with a screwdriver (–).
Caution:
Be sure to use the projector with an air-filter. If not, dust may get inside the projector, causing a fire or a breakdown.
Cleaning the projector and the ventilation slots
Use a soft cloth to clean the projector and the ventila­tion slots. When the slots become dirty, wipe them with a soft cloth dampened with a diluted mild detergent, and then wipe them with a dry cloth. To protect the surface of the projector from fading or deteriorating:
Do not spray insecticide on or inside the
projector.
Do not use benzine or thinner to clean it.
Do not let rubber or plastic materials come into
contact with the projector.
Cleaning the lens
Use a standard lens-cleaning brush or a piece of lens tissue dampened with lens cleaning fluid. The lens sur­face is fragile. Use only recommended, nonabrasive lens­cleaning materials. Do not touch the lens with your fin­gers.
2. Wash the air-filter. Use water or a mild detergent diluted with water to clean the filter. Rinse the filter thoroughly and let it dry completely. If the filter is damaged or becomes extremely dirty, contact your dealer for replacement information.
3. Attach the air filter to the cover.

ASCII '0' '0' Function Data
[Address code] 30h 30h (In ASCII code, '0' '0') fixed. [Function code] A code of each fixed control move [Data code] A code of each fixed control data (number) and not always indicated.
[End code] 0Dh (In ASCII code, ' ') fixed.
3) Control sequence
(1) The command from a personal computer to the projector will be sent in 400ms. (2) The projector will send a return command 400ms* after it has received an encode. if the command isn’t
received correctly, the projector will not send the retirn command.
(3) The personal computer checks the command and confirms that if the command which has been sent has
been executed or not.
(4) This projector sends various codes, other than the return code. When having a control sequence by RS-
232C, reject other codes from personal computer side.
APPENDIX
* : The sending time of return command may delay depending on the condition (during changing the input
signal, playing back the PC card, etc.).
