Caution on Handling the Optional Lens
When shipping the projector with the lens, remove the lens before shipping the projector. Always attach the dust cap
to the lens whenever it is not mounted on the projector. The lens and the lens shift mechanism may encounter dam-
age caused by improper handling during transportation.
Do not hold the lens part when carrying the projector.
Doing so could cause the Focus ring to rotate, resulting in accidental dropping of the projector.

Lamp Replacement
•
Use the specified lamp for safety and performance.
•
To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 35.
•
Be sure to replace the lamp and filter when the message [THE LAMP HAS REACHED THE END OF ITS US-
ABLE LIFE. PLEASE REPLACE THE LAMP AND FILTER. USE THE SPECIFIED LAMP FOR SAFETY AND
PERFORMANCE.] appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached the end of its usable life,
the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces
of glass may cause injury.
If this happens, contact your dealer for lamp replacement.
A Lamp Characteristic
The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source.
A lamp has a characteristic that its brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on
and off will increase the possibility of its lower brightness.
CAUTION:
• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off
and then disconnect the power cord. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling.
• When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the projector. Glass
fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.
About High Altitude mode
•
Set [FAN MODE] to [HIGH ALTITUDE] when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or
higher.
Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher without setting to [HIGH ALTI-
TUDE] can cause the projector to overheat and the protector could shut down. If this happens, wait a couple
minutes and turn on the projector.
•
Using the projector at altitudes less than approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters and setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE]
can cause the lamp to overcool, causing the image to flicker. Switch [FAN MODE] to [AUTO].
•
Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher can shorten the life of optical
components such as the lamp.
