Maintenance and Cleaning
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filters prevent dust from accumulating on the surface of the optical elements inside the projector. Should the air filters become clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans’ effectiveness and may result in internal heat build up and adversely affect the life of the projector. Clean the air filters according to the following steps below.
1 | Turn off the projector and disconnect the AC power cord from | Air Filter 1 |
| the AC outlet. | (Intake Vent) |
2 | Turn over the projector. Put the projector on a soft cloth not to |
|
| scratch the surface. |
