IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

Moisture Condensation

Never operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location. When the unit is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the lens and the crucial internal parts. Do not use the unit for at least 2 hours when there is an extreme or sudden change in temperature to prevent the unit from possible damage.

Place and Manner of Installation

Do not place in hot locations, such as near heating equipment. Doing so could cause

• malfunction, and shorten the life of the projector. Avoid locations with oil or cigarette smoke. Doing so will dirty the optical parts, shortening

• their lives, and darkening the screen. Do not use this product in the upright position or tilt it up or down by more than 20° from

• level. Doing so may cause a failure or shorten the life of the product. Using this instrument near a TV or radio may cause interference to the images or audio

• sound. If this happens, move it away from the TV or radio. Moving the projector from a low-temperature room to a high-temperature room may cause

• condensation on the lens or internal parts. If you continue to use it in that situation, it may malfunction. Wait until the condensation naturally disappears. In a high altitude location where air is thin, cooling efﬁciency is reduced so use the

• projector with [Fan mode] set to [High]. Only plug the power cord into outlets rated for use with the power cord’s speciﬁed voltage range.

• Do not overload extension cords or power strips as this can result in ﬁre or electric shock. Route the power cable or the connecting cable away from where people could trip over it.

• The projector may fall down, which could result in severe injury. Be sure the power cord is easily reached for unplugging in case of emergency. Do not

• place any obstacles near a wall outlet in which the cord is plugged.

Before Using

Avoid Volatile Liquid

Do not use volatile liquids, such as an insect spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products touching the unit for a long time as they will leave marks on the ﬁnish. Do not use a chemically saturated cloth.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

LCD Panel

If the air ﬁlter is stained and is clogged up, the main unit inner temperature rises. As a

• result, the life of the LCD is shortened and a malfunction may also occur. Clean the air ﬁlter from time to time and replace it regularly.

Precautions

Lamp characteristics may rarely cause the brightness to ﬂuctuate slightly.

• The LCD panel is made using extremely advanced technology. There may be black spots

• (pixels that do not light) or bright spots (pixels that are constantly lit) on the panel. These are intrinsic characteristics of the technology and are not malfunctions.

Notes

A lamp is consumable item. If used for extended periods, images will appear dark, and

• the lamp could burn out. This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not malfunction. (The lifetime of the lamp depends on conditions of use.) Although this projector supports a wide range of RGB signals

• not supported by this projector (XGA for X3131/X3241, WXGA for WX3131) will be expanded or shrunk, which will affect image quality slightly. To view high-quality images, set the computer’s external output to XGA for X3131/X3241, WXGA for WX3131. With some models of computer having LCD displays or the like, displaying images

• simultaneously on the projector and the monitor’s display may prevent the images from displaying properly. If this happens, turn off the computer’s LCD display. For information on how to turn off the LCD display, see the computer’s owner’s manual. If no signal is being input from the connected equipment or signal input is stopped while

• projecting, the “No signal” message will appear. If a signal not supported by the projector is input, the “Unsupported signal” message

• will appear.

If an unavailable operation button is pressed, the icon will appear with a beep sound

• (if the beep sound is set to [On]).

Moving pictures played back on computers using DVD software may appear unnatural

• when projected with this projector. However, it is not a malfunction of the projector.

, any resolutions

LCD Panels

LCD panels wear out. In order to prolong the lifetime of your LCD panel, take the following precautions.

• In order to extend the lifetime of the LCD panel, always turn off the power when not in use, and make sure that the lamp is off. Keeping the lamp off is also very effective at saving electricity.

• If the air ﬁlter becomes dirty and clogged, the projector’s internal temperature will rise, shortening the lifetime of the LCD panel and causing malfunctions. We recommend regular and thorough cleaning of the air ﬁlter

• If the air ﬁlter becomes damaged, replace it. Contact your sales representative for a new ﬁlter. If you continue to use the projector when its ﬁlter is damaged, dust and dirt will enter the interior and this could cause the projector to stop working or break down.

Notes

Depending on the amount of keystone adjustment

• and the content of images, some information may be lost, or the picture quality may suffer. Even if [Auto keystone] is set to [On], keystone

• distortion can be adjusted manually. Note that if you change the position or angle of the projector, automatic keystone correction will be performed again. When [Auto keystone] is set to [On], the automatic keystone correction will be

• performed each time the power is turned on. The keystone correction settings are memorized after the power has been turned off.

• Therefore, it is recommended that you set [Auto keystone] to [Off], if the case is that the projector placement angle against the screen remains unchanged and you do not wish to change the keystone adjustment that you set.

Maintenance

Lamp replacement

A lamp is consumable supplies. If used for extended periods, images will appear dark, and the lamp could burn out. This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not malfunction. (The lifetime of the lamp depends on condition of use.) If this happens, replace it with a new one.

WARNING

If the projector is mounted on the ceiling, it is recommended to use your sales

• representative when the lamp has to be exchanged. Uncovering the lamp while the projector is mounted on a ceiling may lead to a danger of damage from falling pieces of glass if the lamp is broken. Besides, working at high elevations can also be hazardous. Do not attempt to replace the lamp by yourself.

When replacing, always use lamp “PJ Replacement Lamp Type1” (sold

• separately). If the lamp other than the speciﬁed one is used, it may cause a malfunction or damage to the unit due to the difference in the connector shape or the lamp rate.

CAUTION

If you have been using the projector, the lamp will be very hot, and may cause

• burn injuries. Wait for the lamp to cool (for longer than 1 hour) before replacing it.

If the lamp should break, please handle with care to avoid injury due to broken

•

pieces and contact your sales representative for repair service.

Unplug power cord.

Wait until lamp is sufﬁciently cooled.

Wait for at least 1 hour.

Remove the outer lamp cover.

To remove the outer lamp cover, loosen the screw on the side of the projector, and then slide the cover out and up (as shown in the illustration).

Remove the inner lamp cover.

To remove the inner lamp cover, fully remove both screws, and then lift the cover (as shown in the illustration). Be careful not to loose the screws.

Outer lamp cover

Inner lamp cover

Pull out the lamp.

Loosen the 3 lamp locking screws, pull up the handle, and press the tab to remove the lamp.

Lamp replacement (Continued)

Notes and Precautions

The [Lamp time] item in the Status display menu indicates the time of lamp use (as a

• rough guide) Please replace the lamp after 2000 hours of use with [Lamp power] in the Default

•

setting 1 menu set to [Standard], and 3000 hours of use with [Lamp power] in the Default setting 1 menu set to [Low].

There are cases that the lamp can not work before the above mentioned period expires

• or before the replacement message is displayed. Attach the outer lamp cover correctly so that it is not loose. If it is not attached correctly,

• the projector may fail to be powered on or the lamp may fail to come on. Always replace the lamp with a new one.

• The lamp is made out of glass. Do not touch the glass surface with your bare hands,

• bang it, or scratch it. (Dirt, jolts, scratches and the like could break the lamp.)

About lamp replacement messages

The lamp replacement message of this projector displays an appropriate

• period according to the use period for [Standard] / [Low] of the [Lamp power] respectively. When the replacement time approaches, the message of “The lamp life is ending.

• Please change the lamp.” is displayed every time the power is turned on. This display disappears when you press the button.

Used Lamps

This projector’s lamps contain trace amounts of environmentally harmful inorganic mercury. Be careful not to break used lamps, and dispose of them in accordance with local regulations or contact your sales representative.

Air ﬁlter cleaning

The air ﬁlter prevents dust and debris from getting inside the projector. Never run the projector with the ﬁlter removed. It is recommended that the air ﬁlter is cleaned regularly.

• The message “Check the air ﬁlter for dirt.” is displayed every 100 hours. (If the usage time exceeds 100 hours, this message is displayed for about 30 seconds when the image is displayed for the ﬁrst time after power is turned on. This display will be dismissed with any operation.)

• Check out the ﬁlter and any debris is found, use the following procedure for cleaning.

WARNING

• Request cleaning and maintenance of a ceiling-mounted unit from your sales representative.

Unplug power cord.

Remove the air ﬁlter.

Pull out the air ﬁlter by holding the release knob with your ﬁngers as shown in the ﬁgure.

Clean the ﬁlter.

Carefully remove the dust and dirt from the air ﬁlter with a vacuum cleaner or the like.

Replace the air ﬁlter.

Insert the air ﬁlter ﬁrmly until you hear a click.

Notes

• When dirt and dust build up in the air ﬁlter, the air circulation inside the projector is affected and the internal temperature will rise, causing the projector to stop working or malfunction.

• Push the air ﬁlter fully in. If the projector is used with the air ﬁlter only partially inserted, dust and dirt will enter the interior and this could cause the projector to stop working or break down.

• If you wash the air ﬁler with water, make sure to dry it completely before replacing it.

Maintenance

Lens and main unit cleaning

WARNING

Request cleaning and maintenance of a ceiling-mounted unit from your sales

• representative. Attempting to clean or replace the lamp in a high location by yourself may cause you to fall, resulting in injury.

Lens cleaning



Clean the lens with a commercially available blower

• and/or lens cleaner. The lens is easily scratched, so do not rub it with hard

• objects, or strike it.

Main unit cleaning



Unplug the power cord before cleaning the main unit.

• Wipe dirt off the main unit gently with a soft cloth.

• Do not wipe the main unit with a damp cloth. Doing

• so may allow water to get inside, resulting in an electric shock or unit failure. Do not use benzene, thinner and the like as they

• may deform or discolor the unit or damage the paint surface. Do not use a chemically saturated cloth.
