Maintenance ■ Protection Against Overheating Your projector is provided with internal protection circuits for preventing fire and damage to internal components due to abnormal temperature. When the power indicator LED is blinking: ● Action 1. Unplug the power plug from the power outlet. 2. Check the air filter for dirt. * If the LAMP LED also is blinking at the same time, replace the lamp. For details of how to replace the lamp, see page 46. When the ALARM LED is lit: ● Action 1.
Maintenance ● When the power fails (all LEDs are off with the power ON) ❍ Action 1. Unplug the power plug from the power outlet. 2. Check the following and take corrective actions. Is the ambient temperature more than 35°C (95°F)? Are any vent holes blocked? Is the lamp unit cover securely in place? A probable cause is an internal circuit problem. Use your projector within an ambient temperature of 0°C to 35°C (32°F to 95°F). Place your projector away from walls and other objects.
■Lamp Unit Replacement The target replacement time of the lamp used on this projector is 950 hours. (This may be shortened depending on the conditions of use.) Since there is a high possibility of lamp explosion if the cumulative usage time exceeds more than 1000 hours, the power to the lamp is cut off at 1000 hours. In the following instances where the cumulative usage time of the lamp is more than 950 hours, replace the lamp unit (sold separately).
Maintenance 2 Loosen the lamp unit retaining screw. Loosen the lamp unit screw. (1 piece) 3 Draw out the lamp unit. Hold the handle and lift the lamp unit upward. 4 Install a new lamp unit. q Hold the lamp unit and push it in. w Tighten the lamp unit retaining screw. e Turn down the handle of the lamp unit. r Install the lamp unit cover, and tighten the two retaining screws. 5 MENU Reset the lamp usage time. Perform the following in the standby state.
■ Cleaning the Air Filter The air filter is an important part as it keeps the optical components inside your projector free from dirt and dust. A clogged air filter can cause the temperature to rise inside your projector and the fan speed to increase. This, in turn, may reduce lamp life or cause the projector to malfunction. The air filter should be cleaned regularly (about once a month if the projector is used four hours a day).
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting If you think a problem has occurred, check the following items before asking for a repair. Symptom Power is not on. To be Checked Page(s) • Verify that the power cord is plugged in. 18 • Verify that the lamp unit cover is installed. 46 The projection lamp does not light. • Verify that the lamp has not blown. 46 • Verify that the air filter is installed. 48 • Verify the internal temperature.
