Cleaning the Lens

Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.

❏Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.

❏To remove dirt or smears on the lens, use lens-cleaning paper. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens.

Caution:

Do not use glass cleaner to clean the lens.

Cleaning the Projector Case

Before you clean the case, first turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.

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

❏To remove stubborn dirt or stains, wipe the case with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent.

Caution:

Do not use wax, alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other chemical detergents. These can damage the case.

Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter

Clean the air filter and air intake and exhaust vents on the bottom and rear of the projector after every 100 hours of use. If not cleaned periodically, they can become clogged with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This can cause overheating and damage the projector. When the filter is clogged, the projector displays the message The projector is overheated.

To clean the air filter and air vents, follow these steps:

1.Turn off the projector, allow it to cool down, and unplug the power cord.

2.Clean the air vent on the back of the projector.

Use a small vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office equipment. If you don’t have one, use a very soft brush (such as an artist’s brush).

3.Turn the projector upside-down and clean the filter and air intake vents on the base of the projector.

Note:

When you get a replacement lamp for your projector, a new air filter is included. Replace the filter when you replace the lamp.
