IMPORTANT!
Filter Maintenance!!
The projector uses a lamp which generates significant
heat. The cooling fans and air vents are provided to
dissipate the heat by drawing air into the housing and
the filter is located in the intake vents to prevent dust
from getting inside of the projector.
In order to care for the projector appropriately, regular
cleaning is required. Remove any dirt or dust that has
accumulated on the projector or in the filter.
If the projector reaches a time set in the timer setting,
a Filter warning icon (Fig. 1) appears on the screen.
Blocking the air vents and leaving the projector
uncleaned for a long time may not only damage the
projector and may require costly repairs but may also
cause accidents or fire.
For maintenance of the filter, refer to “Filter counter”
on page 54 and “Maintenance and Care” on pages 55.
Damages to the projector caused by using an
uncleaned filter or improper maintenance will void
the warranty on the projector .
