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.

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.
warning
Before you clean any part 
of the projector, turn it 
off 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 User’s Guide. Refer 
all other servicing to 
qualified service 
personnel.
