Exhaust Vent (Hot air exhaust)

IMPORTANT!

Clean the Filter Regularly!!

The projector uses a lamp which generates significant heat. The cooling fans and air vents are provided to dissipate the heat by drawing air into the housing and the filter is located in the intake vents to prevent dust from getting inside of the projector.

In order to care for the projector appropriately, regular cleaning is required. Remove any dirt or dust that has accumulated on the projector and on or in the filter.

If the projector detects that the filter is clogged, a “Filter warning” icon (red) will appear on the screen and “WARNING FILTER” indicator on the top panel will blink (see below). Stop using the projector immediately and clean or replace the filter.

Blocking the air vents and leaving the projector uncleaned for a long time may not only damage the projector and may require costly repairs but may also cause accidents or fire.

For maintenance of the filter, refer to “Filter counter” on page 62 and “Maintenance and Filter Cleaning” on pages 63–64.

Damages to the projector caused by using an uncleaned filter or improper maintenance will void the warranty on the projector.

Installation

Connecting the AC Power Cord

This projector uses nominal input voltages of 100–120 V or 200–240 V AC and it automatically selects the correct input voltage. It is designed to work with single-phase power systems having a grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not plug into any other type of power system.

If you are not sure of the type of power being supplied, consult your authorized dealer or service station.

Connect the projector with all peripheral equipment before turning the projector on.

CAUTION

For safety, unplug the AC power cord when the projector is not in use. When the projector is connected to an outlet with the AC power cord, it is in stand-by mode and consumes a little electric power.

Connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the projector.

The AC outlet must be near this equipment and must be easily accessible.

NOTE ON THE POWER CORD

AC power cord must meet the requirements of the country where you use the projector. Confirm the AC plug type with the chart below and proper AC power cord must be used. If supplied the AC power cord does not match your AC outlet, contact your sales dealer.
