*About Cool Down Mode  
Note  
After projection, the heated lamp will go through a 90-  
second cool-down process known as the cool down  
mode. This function is to prevent damage and defor-  
mation that heat from the heated lamp may cause to  
the internal components of this unit. It also prevents  
lamp breakage and shortened lamp life.  
When in the cool down mode, do not pull out the plug  
from the power outlet. Also, do not block the air inlets/  
exhaust vents by standing this unit on its end or lay-  
ing it on its side.  
The cool down mode is indicated by the blinking  
[STAND BY] indicator. When in the cool down mode,  
the [OPERATE] button will be disabled.  
After the cool down process is completed, the unit will  
automatically switch to the standby mode.

Loading Batteries into the Remote Control  
Load batteries into the remote control. If the remote control starts to function erratically, replace the batteries.  
1 Open the back cover  
Precautions for Using Batteries  
Press the back cover slightly and slide it in the direction of  
the arrow.  
If batteries are incorrectly used, they may crack or leak. This  
could cause fire, burn, malfunction, and staining or damag-  
ing of the surroundings.  
Beware of the following:  
Do not mix new and old batteries.  
Do not mix different type of batteries as they are different in  
characteristics.  
Insert batteries according to the marks on the battery case.  
Be sure to insert the minus end in first to prevent short circuit.  
Do not put batteries into fire or recharge them.  
Use only designated batteries.  
Remove the batteries if the remote control is not to be used for a  
prolonged period.  
Battery Life  
Batteries last for 6 months to 1 year under normal use. However,  
batteries provided are for confirming operation and may not last  
that long. When the remote control fails to operate properly, re-  
place the batteries with new ones.  
2 Load the batteries  
Insert the 2 (AAA) batteries supplied according to the ,  
marks. To prevent short circuit, be sure to insert the ℂ  
(minus) end of the battery first.  
Battery Leakage  
When the batteries are totally exhausted and can no longer be  
used, replace them immediately.  
Leaving the batteries in the battery compartment causes leakage,  
which may in turn lead to malfunction.  
In cases where the leakage comes to contact with the skin, wipe it  
away with a cloth. Otherwise, skin problems may occur.  
3 Close the back cover  
Slide in the direction of the arrow to close the back cover.

Even where smoke and grease levels are minimal, prolonged  
exposure will affect this unit. This unit emits heat and optical  
components are cooled down by taking in large amount of air.  
The optical path may be soiled by grease/dirt, thus causing im-  
ages to become dark or color projection to deteriorate. When  
soiling on the optical components occurs, removal of grease/dirt  
totally will not be possible.

Effective Range of Remote Control Unit  
The operable distance of the remote control unit is about 7 m for direct reception. The remote control unit can be used by having  
the transmission signal reflected off a screen.  
If the fluorescent lamp is lit, the remote control unit might not function properly.  
When reflecting off a screen  
Ensure that total of distance A between this unit and screen and distance B between remote control and screen is within 7 m.  
As the effect of signals reflected from the remote control unit differ with the type of screen used, operable distance may  
decrease.

Replacing the Lamp  
Light-source Lamp and Lamp Usage Time  
The light-source lamp has a service life. The life of lamps used for this unit is about 2000 hours.  
The lamp life of 2000 hours is merely the average life span of lamps and we do not provide any guarantee for this figure. The  
lamp life may not reach 2000 hours depending on the operating conditions.  
When the light-source lamp approaches the end of its service life, deterioration progresses rapidly. Get ready or replace with a  
new lamp (lamp unit) when the accumulated lamp usage time exceeds 1900 hours. Depending on the operating conditions, the  
lamp may have to be exchanged earlier. If the image is dark or color tone abnormal, replace the lamp as soon as possible. You  
can also check the accumulated hours of usage. Please refer to the “Lamp Time” item of the “Information” menu. (Pages 22,  
25)  
Please consult your authorized dealer when purchasing a new lamp unit.

About Lamp Replacement  
If this unit is installed in a constricted place, attempting to replace the lamp in that place may cause injury. Move this unit  
to a place large enough to perform the work.  
Use only genuine replacement parts for the lamp unit. Otherwise, malfunction may occur. Also, never attempt to re-use an  
old lamp unit. This may cause marked performance deterioration or lamp blowout, thus leading to unit malfunction.  
Broken pieces of the lamp outside this unit may also cause injuries during lamp unit exchange.  
Do not replace the lamp immediately after this unit has been used. The temperature of the lamp unit is still high and this  
may cause a burn. Allow a cooling period of 1 hour or more before replacement.  
Before replacing the lamp unit, pull out the power plug from the outlet while the [STAND BY] indicator is still on. Replacing  
a lamp with the plug connected to the outlet may cause injuries or electric shocks.  
Procedure for Lamp Replacement  
Note: See manual insert for instruction with removing metal body to access bulb.

Caution  
Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp directly with  
your hand or stain it. Touching it with a bare hand may  
dirty the surface, hence shortening the lamp life, causing  
marked performance deterioration such as darkened  
screens, lamp blowout as well as malfunction.  
5 Tighten the screws of the lamp unit and  
close the handle  
Fasten the 2 screws with a screwdriver.  
6 Attach the lamp cover and fasten the  
screws  
Fasten the 2 screws with a screwdriver.  
Note  
When fitting the lamp cover, insert the left end (with 2 claws)  
of the lamp cover into the unit, followed by ensuring that  
the protruding part on the reverse side of the lamp cover  
fits snugly into the hole of the unit.  
As this protrusion acts as a switch, misfitting may lead to  
failure in turning on the power.

Cleaning and Replacing the Filter  
Clean the filter regularly or air intake efficiency may deteriorate and malfunction may occur. If the filter is extremely dirty and  
cannot be cleaned, or if it is damaged, replace the filter with a new one (lower filter: LC32087-002A / inner filter: LC32058-  
002A). Otherwise, dirt may enter the unit and appear on the screen, preventing you from enjoying the video fully. If dirt has  
entered the unit or if you need information about the filter, please consult your authorized dealer.  
The air inlet filter on the right side cannot be removed. Please clean this filter regularly with, for example, a vacuum  
cleaner.
