Lamp unit replacement
period
The lamp is a consumable product.
Even when the full life of the bulb
has not been exhausted, the
brightness of the light will gradually
decline. Therefore periodic
replacement of the lamp is
necessary.
The intended lamp replacement
interval is 2 500 hours, but it is
possible that the lamp may need to
be replaced earlier due to variables
such as a particular lamp’s
characteristics, usage conditions
and the installation environment.
Early preparation for lamp
replacement is encouraged.
The lamp will automatically shut off
after approximately 10 minutes
when 2 500 hours of use have been
reached because of a much greater
chance of it exploding after this
time.
NOTE:
BThe projector is not supplied
with a replacement lamp unit.
Please ask your dealer for
details. Lamp unit product
no.: ET-LAP1
CAUTION:
BDo not use any lamp unit other
than the one with the product
number indicated above.
NOTE:
BWhile 2 500 hours is the
intended replacement interval,
it is not a period of time
covered by warranty.
Cleaning and replacing the air filter
If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, the internal temperature of the
projector will rise, the TEMP indicator will illuminate and the projector’s
power will turn off (the TEMP indicator will flash after the power is turned off).
The air filter should be cleaned every 100 hours of use.
%Replace the air filter, and then
install the air filter cover.
Cleaning
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean off
any accumulated dust.

#Turn off the power and
disconnect the power cord.
Be sure to disconnect the power
cord by following the procedure
given on page 28.
$Gently turn the projector
upside down, and then remove
the air filter cover.
NOTE:
BIf the dust cannot be cleaned
by a vacuum cleaner, remove
the air filter and soak it in
water, and then wash out the
dust by hand. Be sure to install
the air filter after it has dried.
BDo not use detergent when
washing the air filter.
BIf the dust cannot be removed
by cleaning, it is time to
replace the air filter. Please
consult your dealer.
Furthermore, if the lamp unit is
being replaced, replace the air
filter at this time also.
NOTE:
BBe sure to install the air filter
before using the projector. If
the projector is used without
the air filter installed, dust and
other foreign particles will be
drawn into the projector, and
malfunctions will result.
