Cleaning and replacement of air filter
If too much dust accumulates on the air filter, [CLEAN THE AIR FILTER]* appears at the lower left of the screen, and the temperature monitor (TEMP) will blink once. If even more dust is allowed to accumulate, the temperature inside the main unit will rise, the temperature monitor (TEMP) will blink twice, and the power is turned off.
Clean the air filter section once every 100 hours or so as a guideline depending on the location of projector operation.
