Care of the projector
Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you need to do on a regular
basis is to keep the lens clean.
Never remove any parts of the projector except the lamp. Contact your dealer if
other parts need replacing.
Cleaning the lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.
• Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.
• If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with
lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.
CAUTION
Never rub the lens with abrasive materials.
Cleaning the projector case
Before you clean the case, turn the projector off using the proper shutdown
procedure as described in "Shutting down the projector" on page 42 and unplug the
power cord.
• To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral
pH detergent. Then wipe the case.
CAUTION
Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other chemical detergents. These can damage the
case.
Storing the projector
If you need to store the projector for an extended time, please follow the
instructions below:
• Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the
recommended range for the projector. Please refer to "Specifications" on page
58 or consult your dealer about the range.
• Retract the adjuster feet.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control.
• Pack the projector in its original packing or equivalent.
Transporting the projector
It is recommended that you ship the projector with its original packing or equivalent.
When you carry the projector yourself, please use the original box or provided soft
carry case.
