Maintaining the Projector

Y

our projector needs little maintenance. All you have to do on a

regular basis is clean the lens, and check that the air filter and vents are
clean. A clogged air filter or vent can block ventilation needed to cool
the projector.

The only parts you should replace are the lamp and air filter. If any
other part needs replacing, contact your dealer or a qualified servicer.

This chapter covers the following:

Cleaning the lens

Cleaning the projector case

Cleaning the air filter

Replacing the air filter

Replacing the lamp

Replacing the remote control batteries

Transporting the projector

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
cover. 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.
