and then tie a knot in the string to secure it in place.

To pass the other end of the string into the hole on

the bottom of the projector and pull at it.

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.

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 it 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.

ORDERREPLACEMENTLAMP

Replacement lamp can be ordered through your dealer. When ordering a projection lamp, give the following information to the dealer.

● Model No. of your projector : PJL6243

● ReplacementLampTypeNo.:RLC-065

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 life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use.

There is no guarantee of the same life for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their life 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.

● 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.

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.
