Not able to reset filter timer on ViewSonic

Air-Filter
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter should be cleaned as described below at intervals of approximately 100 hours. When
the filter is used for approximately 100 hours, the message "CLEAN THE AIR FILTER" appears
when the projector is switched on.
1 Switch the projector power supply OFF, and remove the power cord from the power outlet.
2 Clean the air filter with a vacuum cleaner.
3 Reset the Filter Timer using the function of the FILTER TIME on the OPTION Menu. Please
refer to the description of the "FILTER TIME" on the Table 9: MAIN Menu.
Replacing the Air Filter
Replace the air filter if contamination cannot be removed, or if it is damaged. To order a new air
filter see page 26 for contact information.
1 Switch the projector power OFF, and remove the power cord from the power outlet.
2 Remove the filter cover and the filter.
3 Replace the new air-filter and the filter cover.
4 Reset the Filter Timer using the function of the FILTER TIME on the OPTION Menu. Refer to
the description of the "FILTER TIME" on Table 9: MAIN Menu.

You can reset the "Filter Time" on your projector and it will clear this error out of the system.

1) Clean Filter
2) Turn the power on
3) Hit the Menu button
4) Once the menu appears choose "Options"
5) Choose "Filter Time"
7) While the time is displayed hold the "Reset" button on the remote for 3 seconds
8) The "Reset" menu will pop-up and choose reset.

That should take care of it.

I found out how to reset the "clean" icon on the status menu and then moved some connecting wires around on my receiver. They were not totally connected. works great now. Thanks

Most projectors use a menu-driven system...enter the menu, look for the lamp reset menu--DON'T RESET THE LAMP! Usually the filter reset option is with or near the lamp reset option. And, most probably, you'll have to use the remote to access the menu options.Hope this helps. Btw, have you cleaned the filter recently?? I clean mine once a week! Projectors generate LOTS of heat...Any extra heat ages the internal components prematurely causing lamps to fail, LCD panels to break down, and circuit boards to display incorrect images. ---Rick

go into the menu. it should be in the same menu as the lamp timer. as for cleaning the filter, use canned air.

The reset function is in the options menu. Once you scroll through the menu locate the filter timer, forward to the timer locate reset, you then need to hold down the reset button on the bottom RH of the remote control.

All you should need to do is go to the menu on the projector, and find the Filter Timer. Hit the right arrow to select the filter time, and then hold the rest button on the projector until you are prompted to confirm the reset. Hit menu to confirm and it should now reset the filter timer. Now cut the projector off and back on and the lights should stop blinking. I hope this helps.

Menu, options, filter time. When the filter time is displayed, press the reset button for at least 3 seconds. The reset menu will appear and you can select RESET.
