The projector needs proper maintenance. You should keep the lens clean as dust, dirt
or spots will project on the screen and di minish image quality. If any other parts need
replacing, contact your dealer or qualified service personnel. Whe n cleaning any part
of the projector, always switch off and unplug the projector first.

Warning:
Never open any of the covers on the projector. Dangerous electrical voltages inside
the projector can cause severe injury. Do not attempt to service this product yourself.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Cleaning the Lens

Gently wipe the lens with lens cleaning paper. Do not touch the lens with your hands.

Cleaning the Projector Housing

Gently wipe with a soft cloth. If dirt and stains are not easily removed, use a soft cloth
damped with water, or water and neutral detergent, and wipe dry with a soft, dry cloth.

ViewSonic 18 PJ260D

Replacing the Lamp

As the projector operates over time, the brightness of the projector lamp gradually
decreases and the lamp becomes more sus ceptible to breakage. We recommend
replacing the lamp if a warning message is displayed. Do not attempt to replace the
lamp yourself. Contact the qualified service personnel for replacement.



The lamp becomes high temperature after turning off the projector with the
power button. If you touch the lamp, you may scald your finger. When you
replace the lamp, wait for at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool down.



Do not touch the lamp glass at an y time . Th e lam p m ay ex plo d e du e to
improper handling, including the touching of the lamp glass.



Lamp lifetime may differ from lamp to lamp and accordin g 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.



A 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.

substance, such as thinner. Otherwise it could cause a fire or explosion.



Thoroughly ventilate the area or the room when operating the lamp in an
oxygen atmosphere (in the air). If ozone is inhaled, it could cause headaches,
nausea, dizziness, etc.



The inorganic mercury is involved in the lamp. If the lamp bursts, the mercury
inside the lamp will go out of the projector. Leave the area immediately if the
lamp shatters while being operated and ventilate the area for at least 30
minutes in order to avoid the inhalation of mercury fumes. Otherwise it could be
harmful to user’s health.
