Maintenance
Caution:
Be sure to turn off the projector and unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet before you perform any main-
tenance on the projector.
Cleaning the air-filter
Clean the air-filter frequently. If the filter or ventila-
tion slots become clogged with dirt or dust, the tem-
perature inside of the projector may rise and shut off
the power (the TEMP indicator starts to blink red).
1. Press and raise the air-filter cover with a screwdriver
(–).
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.
4. Reinstall the air-filter cover.
Note: The power will not turn on if the air-filter cover
is improperly installed.
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 ventila-
tion 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 sur-
face is fragile. Use only recommended, nonabrasive lens-
cleaning materials. Do not touch the lens with your fin-
gers.
