Maintenance and Care
Filter Instructions
Filter prevents dust from accumulating on the optical elements inside the projector. Should the filter becomes 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. This projector has an electrically operated filter which helps you to replace the filter easily. The projector
monitors the condition of the filter at all time and replaces a filter with a new one automatically when it detects the clogging.
If the projector reaches a time set in the timer setting (p.65), a Filter
replacement icon (Fig.1) appears on the screen and the WARNING
FILTER indicator on the top panel lights up (p.81). When you see
this icon, replace the filter as soon as possible (pp.30, 65). If the
filter is out of scroll and the projector reaches a time set in the
timer setting, Fig. 2 appears on the screen, indicating that the filter
cartridge replacement is necessary.
When the filter scroll is counted down to 0, the Last scroll icon
(Fig.3) appears on the screen, indicating that there is one scroll left
in the filter cartridge (p.65).
If the projector detects that the filter is clogged and no scroll is left
in the filter cartridge, a Filter cartridge replacement icon (Fig. 4)
appears on the screen and the WARNING FILTER indicator on the
top panel lights up (p.81). When you see this icon, replace the filter
cartridge (p.67) and reset the Filter counter (p.68) and the Scroll
counter (p.68).

(approx. 2 seconds ON, 2 seconds OFF) (p.81).
The WARNING FILTER indicator blinks fast when the projector
detects an abnormal condition, the filter cartridge is not installed
properly, or the filter scroll is not working properly (p.81).
Note:
• Fig.1, Fig.2, Fig.3, Fig. 4 and Fig.5 will not appear when the
Display function is set to Off (p.52) or during “Freeze” (p.30).
• The filter cannot be rewound.
• The filter can be scrolled 9 times since the filter cartridge has 10
scrolls.
• The filter cartridge is disposable. Do not clean and reuse the
filter cartridge.
• Do not expose the filter cartridge to water or liquid, or it may
cause a breakdown.
• Replace the filter cartridge after all the scroll is used up. If you
replace the filter cartridge when there are some scrolls left in
the filter cartridge, the filter counter and the scroll counter do not
recognize the correct number of remaining scrolls and the reset
function cannot work properly. It may cause a breakdown.
• Do not use the filter cartridge with other projector. The filter
counter and the scroll counter do not recognize the correct
number of remaining scrolls of the used filter cartridge and the
reset function cannot work properly. It may cause a breakdown.

• Make sure that the projection lamp is turn off when you are
replacing the filter cartridge. If you replace the filter cartridge
when the projection lamp is turn on, the projector will be shut
down automatically for safety purpose.
• Do not forget to reset the filter counter and the scroll counter in
the setting menu after replacing the filter cartridge. If you forget
to reset the filter counter and the scroll counter, the projector
cannot recognize the correct number of remaining scrolls and
may cause a breakdown.
• When the projector is kept used for 3 minutes without getting the
filter cartridge replaced after the Fig.4 appears on the screen,
the projector is turned off automatically to prevent the damage of

broken, and you should stand to the side of the lamp cover,
not underneath it. Remove the lamp cover gently. Small
pieces of glass may fall out when the lamp cover is opened.
If pieces of glass get into your eyes or mouth, seek medical
advice immediately.
CAUTION
Allow a projector to cool for at least 45 minutes
before you open the lamp cover. The inside of the

Maintenance and Care
LAMP HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and properly.
Improper handling may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.
● Lamp lifetime may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no
guarantee of the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their lifetime in a
shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
● If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if the LAMP REPLACE indicator lights up,
replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down. (Follow carefully
the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual.) Continuous use of the lamp with the
LAMP REPLACE indicator lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.
● Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours of use as its lifetime
draws to an end. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in which the
projector and lamp are being used.
IF A LAMP EXPLODES, THE FOLLOWING SAFETy PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN.
If a lamp explodes, disconnect the projector’s AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an
authorized service center for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp. Additionally, check
carefully to ensure that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out
from the cooling air circulation holes. Any broken shards found should be cleaned up carefully. No one
should check the inside of the projector except those who are authorized trained technicians and who
are familiar with projector service. Inappropriate attempts to service the unit by anyone, especially those
who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of broken
glass.
ORDER REPLACEMENT LAMP
Replacement lamp can be ordered through your dealer. When ordering, give the following information to the
dealer.
●Model No. of your projector : PLC-WM5500, PLC-WM5500L
●Replacement Lamp Type No. : POA-LMP136

Cleaning the Projection Lens
Unplug the AC power cord before cleaning.
Gently wipe the projection lens with a cleaning cloth that
contains a small amount of non-abrasive camera lens cleaner,
or use a lens cleaning paper or commercially available air
blower to clean the lens.
Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner. Abrasive
cleaners, solvents, or other harsh chemicals might scratch the
surface of the lens.
Cleaning the Projector Cabinet
Unplug the AC power cord before cleaning.
Maintenance and Care
Gently wipe the projector body with a soft dry cleaning cloth.
When the cabinet is heavily soiled, use a small amount of
mild detergent and finish with a soft dry cleaning cloth. Avoid
using an excessive amount of cleaner. Abrasive cleaners,
solvents, or other harsh chemicals might scratch the surface
of the cabinet.
When the projector is not in use, put the projector in an
appropriate carrying case to protect from dust and scratches.
CAUTION
Do not use any flammable solvents or air sprays on the projector and in its vicinity. The explosion or fire hazard
may occur even after the AC power cord is unplugged because the temperature inside the projector is extremely
high due to the lamps. In addition, there is a risk that the internal parts may be damaged not only by the
flammable air spray but also by the cold air.
71
Maintenance and Care
Warning Indicators
The WARNING indicators show the state of the function which protects the projector. Check the state of the WARNING
