Maintenance and 
Transportation
Your projector needs little maintenance. All you need to do on a 
regular basis is keep the lens clean. Any dirt or smears on the lens may 
show up on your projected image. 
You may need to clean the air filter and air vents. A clogged air filter 
or air vent can block ventilation needed to cool the projector and 
cause overheating. 
The only parts you should replace are the lamp and air filter. If any 
other part needs replacing, contact your dealer or a qualified...
