IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

Save Original Packing Materials

The original shipping carton and packing materials will come in handy if you ever have to
ship your LCD projector. F or maximum protection, repack the set as it w as originally packed
at the factory.

Moisture Condensation

Never operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a w arm location.
When the unit is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture ma y condense on the
crucial internal par ts. To prevent the unit from possible damage, do not use the unit for at
least 2 hours when there is an extreme or sudden change in temperature.

Av oid V olatile 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. They will leave marks on the finish.
If cleaning with a chemically saturated cloth, be sure to follow the product's precautions.

LCD Panel

The life of the LCD panel is limited. Take care o ver the points belo w so as to use the panel
for years.

•To prolong the life of this panel, never fail to turn the power off when the panel is not in use
and make sure that the lamp has gone out. The state of the lamp being e xtinguished helps
enhance the effect of energy saving.

•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. It is recommended that this
replacement be done at the time of replacing a lamp. (Ask a dealer where the unit was
purchased or your nearby service station about an air filter for replacement.)

In the spaces provided below , record the Model and Serial No. located at the bottom of y our
LCD projector.
Model No. Serial No.

Retain this information for future reference.

Before Using

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 LCD panel.

•Avoid locations with oil or cigarette smoke. Doing so will dirty the LCD panel and other
optical parts, shortening their lives, and darkening the screen.

•Do not use in angle of 20° or more degrees. Doing so could shorten the life of the lamp.

•If used at high altitudes, the unit could cease operation even if used within the rated

temperature range. This is because the thinner air at high altitudes decreases the internal
cooling efficiency . Theref ore, please lower the ambient temperature if using at high altitudes.

Note

• The projector consumes about 6W of power in standby. We recommend that you unplug
the power cord if you will not be using the projector for an extended period.

PRECAUTIONS

• Before unplugging the power cord, make sure that the LAMP indicator is off. Unplugging
the power cord and cutting off the power while the projector is running or being cooled
will shorten the life of the lamp. However, please unplug the power cord if the

projector locks up or acts abnormally .

• If the power cord was unplugged before cooling was complete, give the lamp sufficient
time to cool before plugging it back in. If the lamp overheats it may fail to light, and its
lifetime will be shortened.

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. Clean the air filter
from time to time
purchased your projector, or your local Service Station for replacement air filters.

Notes

• Note that the lamp characteristics may rarely cause the brightness to fluctuate slightly.

• 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
conditions of use.)

• The LCD panel is made using extremely advanced technology, but there may be black
spots (pixels that do not light) or bright spots (pixels that are constantly lit) on the panel.
Please note that these are not malfunctions.

• Although this projector supports a wide range of RGB signals
supported by the model (XGA or SVGA, depending on the model) will be expanded or
shrunk, which will affect image quality slightly. To view high-quality images, it is
recommended that the computer’s external output should be set to the projector’s
resolution.

• 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 owner’s manual of your computer.

Operations

Air filter cleaning

Lens and main unit 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.
(A recommended measure is about once for every 50 hours of use.)

CAUTION

• Request cleaning and maintenance of a ceiling-mounted unit from your projector
dealership.

Unplug power cord.

1

Remove the air filter.

2

Pull out the air filter by taking the catch shown in the figure.

Clean the filter.

3

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

■ 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

• Clean the main unit after unplugging the power cord.

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

• If the soiling is severe, dip the cloth in a neutral

detergent diluted in water, wring well, and gently wipe
off the dirt, then finish up by wiping with a dry cloth.

● Replacing air intake and exhaust fans, and air filter

To maintain the performance, it is recommended that these should be replaced about
every 2 to 3 years. Consult with your dealer for details.

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 conditions of use.) If this happens, replace it with a new
one.

Replace the air filter.

4

Notes

• Allowing dirt and dust to build up on the air filter will worsen the air circulation inside the
projector, causing the internal temperature to rise, causing the projector to stop working
or malfunction.

• Insert the air filter all the way in. Leaving gaps will allow dust and dirt to get inside the
projector.

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

• If the air filter is torn, consult with your dealer about replacing it with a new one.

Continuing to use a ripped filter will allow dust and dirt to get inside the projector.

30

CAUTION

• Request cleaning and maintenance of a ceiling-mounted unit from your projector
dealership.

• When replacing, always use lamp “TLPLV1” (sold separately).

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

injuries.
Wait f or 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 dealer for repair service.

Used Lamps

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

PRECAUTIONS

• Make sure to unplug the power cord if something goes wrong.

• If the power cord is unplugged before cooling is complete, give the lamp time to cool

before plugging it back in. If the lamp overheats it may fail to light. Unplugging the power
cord repeatedly when the temperature is high will shorten the life of the lamp. (Even if
you are not concerned about lamp lifetime, the light may not come on if you do not wait
