Maintenance

This section describes maintenance tasks such as cleaning the projector and replacing consumable parts.

Cleaning

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.

Be sure to read the separate Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms booklet for details on safe handling of the projector during cleaning.

Cleaning the Air Filter

If the air filter becomes blocked with dust and the message "The projector is overheating. Clean or replace the air filter and lower the room temperature" is displayed, clean the air filter.

Turn the projector upside-down and use a vacuum cleaner to clean the air filter.

If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, it can result in overheating which may cause operating problems or reduce the operating life of the optical parts. It is recommended that you clean the air filter about once every three months. If using the projector in a dusty location, the air filter should be cleaned more often.

Cleaning the Projector Case

Clean the projector case by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.

If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector case. Then wipe the case again with a soft, dry cloth.

Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol or thinner to clean the projector case. These can cause the case to warp and make the coating finish peel off.

Cleaning the Lens

Use a commercially-available air blower, or use a lens cleaning paper to gently wipe the lens.

Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.
