Cleaning the Air Filter

When “Please clean the filter.” appears on the screen, you should clean the air filter. The air filter should be cleaned every 1,250 hours. This value varies depending on the environment or how the projector is used. 1,250 hours are approximate.

Clean the air filter with a vacuum cleaner. If the dust still remains, wash the air filter with a mild detergent solution and dry it in a shaded place.

Notes

•Be careful that the filter does not get caught in the vacuum cleaner.

•When you clean the air filter, make sure you do not damage it.

For details on how to attach and remove the air filter, see “Replacing the Lamp and the Air Filter and cleaning the Ventilation holes (intake)” Steps 13 to 16. (1 page 68)

•When you remove the air filter, be careful not to let any dust fall into the projector.

•Cleaning the air filter is crucial to maintain the good performance of the projector or to prevent malfunction to it. When a warning message for cleaning the air filter appears, clean the air filter immediately.

Cleaning and the

Screen of the

Projector

Cleaning the lens

The lens surface is especially treated to reduce reflection of light.

As incorrect maintenance may impair the performance of the projector, take care with respect to the following:

•Wipe the lens gently with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.

•Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth lightly dampened with water.

•Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning cloth, as they will damage the lens surface.

Cleaning the cabinet

•To remove dust from the cabinet, wipe gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent solution.

•Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide.

•Using such materials or maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to the screen surface and cabinet material.

Black points and bright points (red, blue, or green) on the screen

The projector is manufactured using high- precision technology.

You may, however, see tiny black points and/or bright points (red, blue, or green) that continuously appear on the projector.

This is a normal result of the manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction.
