Circuit Protections This projector provides the following circuit protections to operate in safety. If the abnormality occurs inside the projec- tor, it will automatically turn off by operating one of the following protection circuits. Thermal switch There is the thermal switch (SW902) inside of the projector to detect the internal temperature rising abnormally.
Circuit Protections Warning temperature and power failure protection The projector will be automatically turned off when the internal temperature of the projector is abnormally high, or the cooling fans stop spinning, or the power supplies in the projector are failed. - If the WARNING indicator is flashing, it may detect the abnormal temperature inside the projector.
Maintenance Cleaning the Filter Filter prevents dust from accumulating on the optical elements inside the projector. Should the filter becomes clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans’ effectiveness and may result in internal heat buildup and adversely affect the life of the projector. If a “Filter warning” icon appears on the screen, clean the filter immediately. Clean the filter by following the steps below.
Maintenance Lamp Replacement LAMP rePLAce indicator top control When the projection lamp of the projector reaches its end of life, the Lamp replacement icon appears on the screen and LAMP REPLACE indicator lights yellow. Replace the lamp with a new one promptly.
Maintenance Resetting the Lamp Counter Be sure to reset the Lamp counter after the lamp is replaced. When the Lamp counter is reset, the LAMP RE- PLACE indicator stops lighting. Lamp counter Press the MENU button to display the On-Screen Menu. Use the Point 7 8 buttons to move the red framed pointer to the Setting Menu icon.
Maintenance Cleaning After long periods of use, dust and other particles will accumulate on the LCD panel, prism, mirror, polarized glass, lens, etc., causing the picture to darken or color to blur. If this occurs, clean the inside of optical unit. Remove dust and other particles using air spray.
Security Function Notice Security Function Disable This projector provides security functions such as "Key lock", "PIN code lock" and "Logo PIN code lock". When the pro- jector has set these security function on, you are required to enter correct PIN code to use the projector. If you do not know the correct PIN code to the projector, the projector can no longer be operated or started.
