Should the filter becomesclogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans’ effectiveness and may result in internal heat buildup andadversely affect the life of the projector. This projector has an electrically operated filter which helps you to replacethe filter easily. The projector monitors the condition of the filter at all time and replaces a filter with a new oneautomatically when it detects the clogging.If the projector reaches a time set in the timer setting (p. 56), a Filterreplacement icon (Fig.1) appears on the screen and the WARNINGFILTER indicator on the top panel lights up. When you see this icon,replace the filter as soon as possible. If the filter is out of scroll andthe projector reaches a time set in the timer setting, Fig. 2 appearson the screen, indicating that the filter cartridge replacement is nec-essary.When the filter scroll is counted down to 1, the Last scroll icon(Fig.3) appears on the screen, indicating that there is one scroll leftin the filter cartridge.If the projector detects that the filter is clogged and no scroll is leftin the filter cartridge, a Filter cartridge replacement icon (Fig. 4) ap-pears on the screen and the WARNING FILTER indicator on the toppanel lights up. When you see this icon, replace the filter cartridgeand reset the Filter counter and the Scroll counter.When the filter is being scrolled by the remote control or the Fil-ter control function in the setting menu, a Filter replacement iconand “Please wait...” message (Fig.5) appear on the screen and theWARNING FILTER indicator blinks slow (approx. 2 seconds ON, 2seconds OFF).The WARNING FILTER indicator blinks fast when the projector de-tects an abnormal condition, the filter cartridge is not installed prop-erly, or the filter scroll is not working properly.Fig.1 Filter replacement iconFig.4 Filter cartridge replacement iconFig.3 Last scroll icon✔Note:• Fig.1, Fig.2, Fig.3 or Fig. 4 will not appear when theDisplay function is set to “Off”, or during “Freeze”.• The filter cannot be rewound.• The filter can be scrolled 9 times since the filter cartridgehas 10 scrolls.• The filter cartridge is disposable.
