Maintenance Cleaning the Projector Clean the projector frequently to prevent dust from settling on the surface. A dirty lens may ruin the quality of the projected image. Caution z The main unit is very hot immediately after turning off the projector. Wait until the projector cools down sufficiently before cleaning the projector. Otherwise, you may get burned or injured. z Before cleaning the projector, be sure to remove the power plug from the AC outlet. Otherwise, electric shock or fire may result.
Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter An air filter is installed in the air intake vent on the bottom of the main body to protect the internal lens and mirror from dust. Should the air filter become clogged with dust, the projector may be damaged since it will block the air flow into the projector and raises the internal temperature of the projector. Caution z The main unit is very hot immediately after turning off the projector.
Replacing the Lamp When the time of use of the lamp exceeds 1,400 hours (2,300 hours for SX60), the following message (two types) is displayed for 10 seconds each time the projector is turned on. z When the time of use is 1,400 to 1,500 hours: (2,300 to 2,500 hours for SX60) * [<], [>], the [OK] button, and the [POWER] button are available during this message is displayed.
Replacing the Lamp 1 Turn off the projector, disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet, and then let the projector stand for at least 1 hour. 2 Loosen a screw with a flathead screwdriver and remove the lamp cover.
