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 |
| the AC outlet. |
2 | Turn over the projector. Put the projector on a soft cloth not to |
| scratch the surface. |

CAUTION
Do not operate the projector with the air filter removed. Dust may accumulate on the LCD panel and the projection mirror degrading picture quality.
Do not put small parts into the air intake vents. It may result in malfunction of the projector.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments when operating the projector. When using under dusty or smoky conditions, dust may accumulate on a lens, LCD panels, or optical elements inside the projector. This condition may degrade the quality of a projected image.
When the above symptoms are noticed, contact your authorized dealer or service station for proper cleaning.
