Maintenance

The projector needs proper maintenance. You should keep the lens clean as dust,
dirt or spots will project on the screen and diminish image quality. The only part
you could replace yourself is the lamp. If any other parts need replacing, contact
your dealer or qualied service personnel. When cleaning any part of the projector,
always switch off and unplug the projector rst.

Warning:

Never op en a ny o f t he c ove rs o n th e p rojecto r e xcep t t he l amp cov er.

Dangerous electrical voltages inside the projector can cause severe injury.
Except as specically indicated in this User’s Manual, do not attempt to service
this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualied 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.

Turn off the projector and remove the AC power cord from the power outlet

before beginning maintenance work.
Make sure the lens is cool before cleaning.
Do not use detergents or chemicals other than those noted above. Do not
use benzene or thinners.

Do not use chemical sprays.
Use a soft cloth or lens paper only.

NOTE

34ViewSonic PJ402D

Replacing the Lamp

Projector lamps have a nite life. Replace the lamp when:

The image becomes darker and hues become weaker after a lamp has been

for a long period of time.

The projector lamp LED indicator turns into red. Refer to section titled “Indicator

Messages” for further details.

The lamp becomes high temperature after turning off the projector with the
power button. If you touch the lamp, you may scald your nger. When you

replace the lamp, wait for at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool down.

Do not touch the lamp glass at any time. The lamp may explode due to
improper handling, including the touching of the lamp glass.
La m p life t ime m ay d i ff e r from lamp t o lam p and a c cor d i ng t o 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.

Wear protective gloves and eyeglasses when xing or detaching the lamp.
Faster on-off-cycles will damage the lamp and reduce lamp life. Wait at
least for 5 minutes to turn off the projector after powering on.

Do not operate the lamp in proximity to paper, cloth, or other combustible

material nor cover it with such materials. Otherwise it could cause a re.
Do not operate the lamp in an atmosphere containing an inflammable
substance, such as thinner. Otherwise it could cause a re 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 in si de the l am p will go ou t of the p ro je ct or. Leav e 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.

the glass.

Do not reuse the old lamp. This could cause the lamp to explode.

Be sure to turn off the projector and unplug the AC power cord before
replacing the lamp.

Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed.
