Precautions
On safety
• Check that the operating voltage of your
unit is identical with the voltage of your
local power supply.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into
the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it further.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is
not to be used for several days.
• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• The wall outlet should be near the unit and
easily accessible.
• The unit is not disconnected to the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the
unit itself has been turned off.
• Do not look into the lens while the lamp is
on.
• Do not place your hand or objects near the
ventilation holes. The air coming out is
hot.
On preventing internal heat build-
up
After you turn off the power with the I/1
(ON/STANDBY) switch, do not disconnect
the unit from the wall outlet while the
cooling fan is still running.
Caution
The projector is equipped with ventilation
holes (intake) and ventilation holes
(exhaust). Do not block or place anything
near these holes, or internal heat build-up
may occur, causing picture degradation or
damage to the projector.
On repacking
Save the original shipping carton and
packing material; they will come in handy if
you ever have to ship your unit. For
maximum protection, repack your unit as it
was originally packed at the factory.

Ventilation Holes
(intake)
Tools you need to get started:
• Projector Lamp LMP-H201 (optional)
• Standard Phillips screwdriver
• Cloth (for scratch protection)
The lamp used for the light source has a
certain lifespan. When the lamp dims, the
color balance of the picture becomes strange,
or “Please replace the Lamp/Filter.” appears
on the screen, the lamp may be exhausted.
Replace the lamp with a new one (not
supplied) without delay.
Use an LMP-H201 Projector Lamp as the
replacement lamp.
The air filter is supplied with the LMP-H201
Projector Lamp. When you replace the lamp,
it is also time to replace the air filter.
Whenever you replace the lamp, be sure to
replace the air filter with a new one. Also
clean the ventilation holes (intake).
Caution
• The lamp remains hot after the projector is
turned off with the ?/1 (ON/STANDBY)
switch. If you touch the lamp, you may burn
your fingers. When you replace the lamp,
wait for at least 1 hour for the lamp to cool.
• Do not touch the surface of the lens. If you
touch it, wipe off the fingerprints with a soft
cloth.
• Pay special attention to replacing the lamp
when the projector is installed on the ceiling.
• When removing the lamp unit, make sure it
remains horizontal, then pull straight up. Do
not tilt the lamp unit. If you pull out the lamp
unit while tilted and if the lamp breaks, the
pieces may scatter, causing injury.
Notes
• When the lamp is damaged the broken
pieces of the lamp may become
scattered, if you do not reverse the
projector. This may cause injury.
• Be sure that the projector is placed on a
stable surface.
• When you remove the air filter, be careful

Notes
• Be sure to use an LMP-H201 Projector Lamp
for replacement. If you use lamps other than
the LMP-H201, the projector may
malfunction.
Cleaning the Air
Filter
• Be sure to turn off the projector and unplug
the power cord before replacing the lamp,
then check the ON/STANDBY lamp has
already been turned off.
• The projector will not turn on unless the lamp
is securely installed in place.
When “Please clean the filter.” appears on
the screen, you should clean the air filter.
The air filter should be cleaned every 1,500
hours. This value varies depending on the
environment or how the projector is used.
1,500 hours are approximate.
After washing the air filter with a mild
detergent solution, dry it in a shaded place.
• The projector will not turn on unless the lamp
cover are securely closed.
• To cancel a message displayed on the screen,
press either the button on the remote control
or the one on the control panel on the
projector.
Notes
• When you clean the air filter, make sure you
do not damage it.
For details on how to attach and remove the
air filter, see “Replacing the Lamp and the
Air Filter and Cleaning the Ventilation Holes
• When you remove the air filter, be careful
not to let any dust fall into the projector.
• Cleaning the air filter is crucial to maintain
the good performance of the projector or to
prevent malfunction to it. When a warning
message for cleaning the air filter appears,
clean the air filter immediately.

Cleaning and the
Screen of the
Projector
Cleaning the lens
The lens surface is especially treated to
reduce reflection of light.
As incorrect maintenance may impair the
performance of the projector, take care with
respect to the following:
• Wipe the lens gently with a soft cloth such
as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.
• Stubborn stains may be removed with a
soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass
cleaning cloth lightly dampened with
water.
• Never use solvent such as alcohol,
benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline or
abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning
cloth, as they will damage the lens surface.
Cleaning the cabinet
• To remove dust from the cabinet, wipe
gently with a soft cloth. If dust is
persistent, wipe with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a diluted mild detergent
solution.
• Never use any type of abrasive pad,
alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or
volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene,
thinner or insecticide.
• Using such materials or maintaining
prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl
materials may result in damage to the
screen surface and cabinet material.
Black points and bright points (red,
blue, or green) on the screen
The projector is manufactured using high-
precision technology.
You may, however, see tiny black points
and/or bright points (red, blue, or green) that
continuously appear on the projector.
This is a normal result of the manufacturing
process and does not indicate a malfunction.
