Maintenance

Periodic maintenance will keep your DP9100 in top working condition.

CLEANING THE LENS AND MIRROR

To clean the projection lens and mirror:

1Take a piece of lens tissue and form it into a loose swab. Wet it with lens cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol, and gently wipe it over the surface of the lens or mirror.

2Take another clean piece of lens tissue and repeat the process, wiping it over the lens or mirror in the opposite direction.

Repeat this process until no smudges or particles can be seen. DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE LENS WHEN THE LAMP IS ON!

Caution: Do not use acetone to clean the lens. It may remove paint from areas around the lens or mirror and leave a residue on the glass.

CLEANING THE PROJECTION WINDOW

The projection window is the surface through which the LCD image is projected. To maintain a clear, sharp image, you should clean the projection window from time to time.

To clean the surface of the projection window:

1Use a can of compressed air to blow dust off of the LCD panel inside the projector. Point the can into the opening in the top center of the right side of the projector (see Figure 5-1).
