Maintenance and Cleaning

Air filters
Pull up and remove.

Turn off the projector, and unplug the AC power cord from
an AC outlet.

Turn the projector upside down and remove the air filters by
pulling the latches upward.

2

Air filters prevent dust from accumulating on the surface of the optical elements inside the projector. Should the air filters
become clogged with dust particles, it reduces the effectiveness of cooling fans and may result in a buildup of internal heat
and adversely affect the life of the projector. Clean the air filters by following the steps below.

Clean the air filters with a brush or rinse them softly.

3

When rinsing the air filters, dry them well. Replace the air
filters properly. Make sure that the air filters are fully inserted
to the projector.

4

CAUTION

Do not operate the projector with the air filters removed.
Dust may accumulate on the LCD panel degrading the
picture quality of the projection mirror. Do not put
anything into the air intake vents. It may result in
malfunction of the projector.

RECOMMENDATION

We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments when
operating the projector. Usage in these environments may
cause a poor image quality.

When using the projector under dusty or smoky conditions, dust
may accumulate on a lens, LCD panels, or optical elements inside
the projector. Such conditions may degrade the quality of a
projected image.

When the symptoms above are noticed, contact your authorized
dealer or service station for proper cleaning.

Cleaning the Air Filters

Note:

• When reinserting this air filter,

be sure that the slit part is
facing the outer side.
