If Fingerprints, Smudges, Oil:
1. First brush dust off with a camelhair brush and/or blow dust away with compressed air.
2. Fold a clean microfibre cloth and dampen with methanol. Make sure to wipe evenly with the smooth
portion of the cloth that has no folds or creases. Do not apply pressure with your fingers. Instead, use the
tension in the folded cloth itself to collect the dust.
4.3.3 Other Components
In a normal operating environment check, clean and treat the following components every 6 months or so to
help ensure proper lamp and projector function:
Igniter
Clean the high voltage terminal and insulator to remove accumulated dust or dirt.
Air Flow Interlocks
The lamp fan vane switch is located within the lamp-cooling compartment. The extractor vane switch is
located just inside the top duct on the projector lid. Check and, if necessary, clean the switches to remove
accumulated dust or dirt that could impede movement. Within the exhaust hood connected at the top of the
projector, adequate airflow must be maintained and routed away from the operating area surrounding the
projector (or any nearby projectors). Inspect regularly and confirm that all air intake areas of the projection
head and ballast are unobstructed.
4.4 Replacing the Lamp & Filter
The high brightness of your projector is provided by a Xenon lamp mounted at two ends within a reflector and
housed in the locked lamp compartment of the projection head. When the lamp approaches the end of its life, it
must be replaced-do not exceed warranted lamp life by more than 20%, as an old lamp becomes increasingly
and dangerously fragile, resulting in possible explosion.
To determine the age of your current lamp, consult the Status menu or Lamp menu.
It is recommended that you replace the air filter with every lamp replacement, or sooner in dusty or dirty
environments. Check its condition monthly in all projectors.
