Cleaning the Lens

Warning:
Warning: Before you clean any part of the projector, turn off the
Warning:Warning: 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.
