Maintenance

Caution:

Be sure to turn off the projector and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you perform any main- tenance on the projector.

Cleaning the air-filter

Clean the air-filter frequently (about once a month). If the filter or ventilation slots become clogged with dirt or dust, the temperature inside of the projector may rise and cause some troubles, such as damage of in- side parts, and shortening the life of panel.

•When the temperature inside of the projector rises, the TEMP indicator blinks in red, and the power will be shut off to be stand-by which LAMP indicator is turned off.

Caution:

Be sure to use the projector with an air-filter. If not, dust may get inside the projector, causing a fire or a breakdown.

Cleaning the projector and the ventilation slots

Use a soft cloth to clean the projector and the ventila- tion slots. When the slots become dirty, wipe them with a soft cloth dampened with a diluted mild detergent, and then wipe them with a dry cloth.

To protect the surface of the projector from fading or deteriorating:

•Do not spray insecticide on or inside the projector.

•Do not use benzine or thinner to clean it.

•Do not let rubber or plastic materials come into contact with the projector.

Cleaning the lens

Use a standard lens-cleaning brush or a piece of lens tissue dampened with lens cleaning fluid. The lens sur- face is fragile. Use only recommended, nonabrasive lens-cleaning materials. Do not touch the lens with your fingers.
