Indicators
There are two indicators on the front of the projector which give information about the operating condition of the
projector. These indicators illuminate or flash to warn you about problems that have occurred inside the projector,
so if you notice that one of the indicators is on, turn off the power and check the table below for the cause of the
problem.

Problem
The internal
projector
temperature is too
high.
The metal halide lamp
has turned off
automatically because
the internal
temperature has risen
to an abnormally high
level.
It is nearly time to
replace the lamp
unit.
The metal halide
lamp switches off
automatically.
Possible cause
The ventilation holes
may be covered.
The ambient
temperature in the
place of use may
be too high.
The air filter may
be blocked.
Does “LAMP”
appear on the
screen after the
projector is turned
on?
The power may
have been turned on
immediately after it
was turned off.
There may be an
abnormality in the
lamp circuit.
Remedy
Uncover the ventilation holes.
Set up the projector in a place
where the temperature is between
41°F (5°C) and 104°F (40°C)
and the humidity is between 10%
and 80% (with no condensation).
Turn off the main power
supply by following the
procedure on page 11, and
then clean the air filter (refer
to page 39).
This occurs when the operation
time for the lamp unit is nearing
1,800 hours. Ask your dealer or
an Authorized Service Center
to replace the lamp unit.
Wait for a while until the lamp
unit cools down before
turning the power back on
again.
Turn off the main power supply
by following the procedure on
page 11, and then contact an
Authorized Service Center.
NOTE:
Be sure to turn off the main power by following the procedure given in “Turning the power on and off” on page 11
before carrying out any of the procedures in the “Remedy” column.
If the main power turns off after the TEMP indicator starts flashing, it means that an abnormality has occurred.
Please contact an Authorized Service Center so that the necessary repairs can be made.
