Maintaining and
Transporting the Projector
Y
our projector needs little maintenance. All you need to do on a
regular basis is keep the lens clean. Any dirt or smears on the lens will
show up on your projected image.
You also need to periodically clean the air filter on the bottom of the
projector. A clogged air filter can block ventilation needed to cool the
projector and keep it from overheating.
The only parts you should replace are the lamp and air filter. If any
other part needs replacing, contact your dealer or a qualified service
person.
This chapter covers the following:
■ Cleaning the lens
■ Cleaning the projector case
■ Cleaning and replacing the air filter
■ Replacing the lamp
■ Transporting the projector
Cleaning the Lens
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. Avoid
touching any part of the projector case with any alcohol cleaner.
