We recommend you to unplug the power cord if you will not use the projector for an extended period. PRECAUTIONS • Before unplugging the power cord, make sure that the LAMP indicator is off. Unplugging the power cord and cutting off the power while the projector is running or being cooled will shorten the life of the lamp. However, please unplug the power cord if the projector locks up or acts abnormally. • If the power cord was unplugged before cooling was complete, give the lamp sufficient time to cool before plugging it back in. If the lamp overheats, it may fail to light, and its lifetime will be shortened. LCD Panels LCD panels wear out. In order to prolong the lifetime of your LCD panel, take the following precautions. • In order to extend the lifetime of the LCD panel, always turn off the power when not in use, and make sure that the lamp is off. Keeping the lamp off is also very effective at saving electricity. • If the air filter becomes dirty and clogged, the projector's internal temperature will rise, shortening the lifetime of the LCD panel and causing malfunctions. Clean the air filter from time to time p.39 , and replace it periodically. Contact the store where you purchased your projector, or your local Service Station for replacement air filters. 23 Operations
