7 121 7 Maintaining the Projector Your projector needs little maintenance. All you have to do is keep the lens clean. You may also need to clean the air filter and vent. 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.
122Maintaining the Projector Cleaning the Lens Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. To remove dirt or smears on the lens, use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses. Cleaning the Projector Case Before you clean the case, 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, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral detergent and firmly wring the cloth dry. Then wipe the case. Cleaning the Air Filter Your projector includes an air filter to ensure the best performance. If dust collects on the air filter (on the side of the projector), clean it as described on page 123. Dust clogs prevent proper ventilation and can cause overheating, which can damage the projector. caution Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged. caution Do not use wax, alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other chemical detergents. These can damage the case. note To order replacement air filters, request part number V13H134A17. See page 12 for ordering information.

Lamp lightwarning Let the lamp cool fully before replacing it. In the unlikely event that the lamp has broken, small glass fragments may be present and should be removed carefully to avoid injury. If the projector has been installed on the ceiling, you should stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath it. If the lamp is used after the replacement period has passed, the possibility that the lamp may break increases. When a lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working. note Even when the lamp cover is removed, it is still attached to the projector to prevent it from falling when the projector is mounted on the ceiling.
