projector and unplug the power cord. Never open any cover on the
projector, except the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous electrical
voltages in the projector can injure you severely. Do not try to
service this product yourself, except as specifically explained in this
Product Information Guide
. Refer all other servicing to
qualified service personnel.
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.
Lightly wipe the lens surface with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
To remove dirt or smears on the lens, moisten a soft cloth
with an alcohol-based cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.
Cleaning the Projector
The projector may not respond to remote control commands
Note:
in these conditions: the R/C (remote control) ON/OFF switch is
in the OFF position; batteries are weak; ambient light is too
bright; a certain type of fluorescent light is present; a strong light
source (such as direct sunlight) shines into the infrared receiver; or
other equipment emitting infrared energy is present (such as a
radiant room heater). Correct these conditions to use the remote
control.
To clean the projector, first unplug the power cord. To
remove dirt or dust, wipe the projector with a soft, dry, lintfree cloth. To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft
cloth with water and a neutral detergent. Then wipe the
projector.
Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical
detergents. These can cause the projector to warp.

Cleaning the Air Filter
Clean the air filter after every 100 hours of use, or if the
temperature warning light on top of the projector turns
red.

with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This can cause
overheating and damage the projector. Follow these steps to
clean the filter:
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
2. Pull up on the filter cover tab to release the cover. You may
need to use a small screwdriver to pry it off.
3. Remove the cover.
