Care of the projector

Cleaning the lens

•Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.

•If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.

Never rub the lens with abrasive materials.

Cleaning the projector case

Before you clean the case, turn the projector off using the proper shutdown procedure as described in "Shutting down the projector" on page 38 and unplug the power cord.

•To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, lint-free cloth.

•To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral pH detergent. Then wipe the case.
