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. Before cleaning the projector, always turn it off, unplug it after the cooling fan stops, and wait at least one hour. Otherwise, you may get burned because the main unit is very hot immediately after the projector is turned off. Wipe the projector’s main unit softly with a soft cloth.
Maintenance Follow the procedure below when cleaning the air filter. 1 2 Turn the power of the projector off and pull out the power plug. Hook your finger around the air filter handle on the front of the projector and remove the air filter. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean off the dust. • Do not rinse the air filter in water. This may damage the air filter and projector.
Maintenance 2 Pull out the filter cover tab on bottom while lifting up. 3 Open the filter cover and remove it. 4 Remove the air filter. 5 Holding the new air filter by the tab, insert the air filter in the projector.
Maintenance 6 Align the filter cover tab with the groove and close the filter cover. • Handle the air filter carefully. If damaged, the air filter will not work properly. • To purchase a replacement air filter (part no: RS-FL03), contact the Canon Customer Support Center or visit the Canon website. • Replace the air filter when you replace the lamp.

Troubleshooting ■ You Cannot Project an Image from the Projector Cause A cable is not connected correctly. 20 seconds have not elapsed since the projector was turned on. No image is sent from the AV equipment. Connection with the input terminal has not been performed correctly. No input signal type has been selected for the connected AV equipment. The input signal type is incorrect. The BLANK function has been selected. No image is projected due to a problem with the computer.
Troubleshooting Cause The displayed image is not the same as that displayed on the computer. Countermeasure Check whether the dual screen (multi-display) mode is selected on the computer. If dual screen mode is selected, change the computer display output to mirroring mode. The output setting method varies among computer manufacturers. For more detailed information, refer to the manual that came with your computer. ■ There is no Sound Cause The audio cable is not connected correctly.
Troubleshooting ■ You Cannot Project an Image Appropriately Cause The projected image is inverted in the vertical or horizontal direction. A computer cable is used in which some pins are not connected. Countermeasure The ceiling mounted / rear projection setting is incorrect. Check the [Image flip H/V] setting in the [Install settings] menu. (P108) Use a computer cable in which all pins are connected. ■ The Projector Power Turns Off Cause The air intake or exhaust vent is blocked.
Troubleshooting ■ You Cannot Operate the Remote Control Cause Countermeasure Batteries are not installed properly or they have run out.
