Care and Replacement

Cleaning the projector

Before cleaning the projector

Switch off the MAIN POWER and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.

Unplug all the cables from the projector.

Cleaning the outer surface of the projector

Wipe off dirt and dust gently with a soft cloth.

If it is difficult to remove the dirt, soak a cloth with water, wring the cloth well and then wipe the projector. Dry off the projector with dry cloth.

If you use a chemical treated wipe, follow the instructions supplied with it.

Cleaning the lens and front glass surface

Wipe off dirt and dust gently with a lint-free cloth.

Make sure no dirt or dust remains on the surface of the lens. It will be enlarged and projected onto a screen.

Replacing the Lamp unit

Before replacing the Lamp unit

Switch off the MAIN POWER and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.

Wait for more than 1 hour and make sure the lamp unit and the surroundings are cooled enough. Prepare a Phillips-head screwdriver.

Contact an Authorised Service Centre to purchase a replacement lamp unit (ET-LAF100).

When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, do not work directly under the projector or put your face closer to the projector.

NOTE:

•Prior to replacing the lamp unit, allow it to cool down to prevent the risk of burns, damage and other hazards.

•Do not attempt replacement with an unauthorised lamp unit.

When to replace the lamp unit

The lamp unit is consumable and the brightness decreases by duration of usage. The LAMP indicator will inform you of the replacement timing at 5 000 hours, and at 6 000 hours, the projector will be turned off. Those figures are rough guidance and might be shortened by the usage conditions, characteristics of the lamp unit, environmental conditions, and so on. You can check the duration of usage time using RUNTIME of STATUS in the PROJECTOR SETUP menu.
