Cleaning the Lens 
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. 
❏ Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust. 
❏ To remove dirt or smears on the lens, use lens-cleaning 
paper. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and 
gently wipe the lens .
Caution:
Do not use glass cleaner to clean the lens.
Cleaning the Projector Case
Before you clean the case, first turn off the projector and unplug 
the power cord. 
❏ To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-
free cloth. 
❏ To remove stubborn dirt or stains, wipe the case with a soft 
cloth moistened with a mild detergent. 
Caution:
Do not use wax, alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other 
chemical detergents. These can damage the case.
Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
Clean the air filter and air intake and exhaust vents on the 
bottom and rear of the projector after every 100 hours of use. 
If not cleaned periodically, they can become clogged with dust, 
preventing proper ventilation. This can cause overheating and 
damage the projector. When the filter is clogged, the projector 
displays the message 
The projector is overheated
.
To clean the air filter and air vents, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the projector, allow it to cool down, and unplug the 
power cord.
2. Clean the air vent on the back of the projector.
Use a small vacuum cleaner designed for computers and 
other office equipment. If you don’t have one, use a very soft 
brush (such as an artist’s brush).
