Cleaning the projector
WARNING
Cleaning a wall-mounted projector can result in a fall or injury. Use caution when climbing a ladder, and consider removing the projector from its wall-mounting bracket to clean it or to replace the projector lamp.
CAUTIONS
•Never touch the mirror with your hands or a brush, and do not scrub the surface of the mirror with the supplied cleaning cloth. Instead, use the supplied cleaning cloth to clean the mirror gently, and do not put any cleaning solvents on the cloth or the mirror.
•Before you clean the projector, press the Power button twice on the Extended Control Panel (ECP) or remote control to put the system into Standby mode, and then allow the lamp to cool for at least 30 minutes.
•Do not spray cleaners, solvents or compressed air directly on the projector. Do not use spray cleaners or solvents near any part of the projector because they can damage or stain the unit. Spraying the system could spread a chemical mist on some of the projector’s components and lamp, resulting in damage and poor image quality.
•Do not allow liquids or commercial solvents of any kind to flow into the projector base or head.

IMPORTANT
•When cleaning the interactive whiteboard system:
–Wipe the exterior of the projector with a lint-free cloth.
–If necessary, use a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent to clean the projector housing.
–For optimum performance, clean the projector every 12 months. Increase this frequency according to environmental conditions.
•Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes or solvents.
•When cleaning the projector’s mirror:
–Use a bellows bulb or air blower bulb (commonly found in audio-visual supply stores) to blow off dust. Never touch the mirror or lens with your bare hands or a brush.
–If wiping the mirror or lens is unavoidable, wear protective gloves and gather the supplied cleaning cloth into a ball. Gently run the cleaning cloth across the mirror from the center to the edge, using the cleaning cloth like you would a feather duster.
•When cleaning the projector’s lens:
–Never touch the lens with your bare hands or a brush.
–If wiping the lens is unavoidable, wear protective gloves and gather the supplied cleaning cloth into a ball. Gently run the cleaning cloth across the lens from the center to the edge, using the cleaning cloth like you would a feather duster.
Removing and replacing the projector lamp module
When the lamp reaches the end of its life, a message appears reminding you to replace the lamp. Make sure you have a replacement projector lamp before proceeding with the following instructions.
WARNINGS
•Replace the lamp when the projector displays its lamp life warning message. If you continue to use the projector after this message appears, the lamp can shatter or burst, scattering glass throughout the projector.
•If the lamp shatters or bursts, leave and then ventilate the area.
•Do not touch the glass fragments because they can cause injury.
•Wash your hands thoroughly if you have come into contact with lamp debris.

•Once the area has been ventilated, thoroughly clean the area around the projector, and discard any edible items placed in that area because they could be contaminated.
•Call your authorized SMART reseller (smarttech.com/where) for instructions. Do not attempt to replace the lamp.
•Uncovering the lamp while the projector is mounted on the wall-mounting bracket can lead to product damage or personal injury from falling pieces of glass if the lamp is broken.
•When replacing the projector lamp:
–Put the projector into Standby mode and wait 30 minutes for the lamp to cool completely.
–Do not remove any screws other than those specified in the lamp replacement instructions.
