Maintenance

Caution:

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

Cleaning the air-filter

Clean the air-filter frequently. If the filter or ventila­tion slots become clogged with dirt or dust, the tem­perature inside of the projector may rise and shut of
the power (the thermal indicator starts to blink red).

1. Press and raise the air-filter cover with a screwdriver
(–).

ENGLISH

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 ventila­tion 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 sur­face is fragile. Use only recommended, nonabrasive
lens-cleaning materials. Do not touch the lens with your
fingers.

2. Wash the air-filter.
Use water or a mild detergent diluted with water to
clean the filter. Rinse the filter thoroughly and let it
dry completely. If the filter is damaged or becomes
extremely dirty, contact your dealer for replacement
information.

3. Attach the air filter to the cover.
