may cause poor image quality.
When using under dusty or smoky conditions, dust may accu-
mulate on liquid crystal panel, lens, or optical elements inside
it. This condition may degrade quality of projected image.
When above symptoms are noticed, contact your authorized
dealer or service station for proper cleaning.

result in malfunction of a projector.
Air filter
Air filters prevent dust from accumulating on the surface of the optical elements inside the projector. Should the air
filters become clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans’ effectiveness and may result in internal heat
build up and adversely affect the life of the projector. Replace the air filter following the steps below.

WARNING FILTER
lights red
This projector can monitor the filter condition. When the filter
is clogged with dust and the performance is degraded, the
WARNING FILTER indicator lights red and let you know the
filter replacement is required.
If the indicator is lighting red, turn off the projector and clean
the air filter immediately.
Using the projector with the WARNING FILTER indicator light-
ing may result in internal heat build up and cause damage to
the optical elements inside the projector. The projector will
shutdown automatically to protect itself when the projector's
inside temperature is abnormally high.
After replacing the air filter, reset "Filter Counter" in the Spe-
cial menu. Otherwise, monitor function for the air filter may
not work properly. Refer to "How to reset the Filter Timer".
