Maintenance
Care of the projector
Cleaning the lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. 
Before cleaning any part of the projector, turn it off using the proper shutdown procedure (see 
Shutting down the projector), unplug the power cable, and let it cool down completely. 
•  Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust. 
•  If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and 
gently wipe the lens surface.
•  Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile 
solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining 
prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to the projector surface 
and cabinet material.
Never touch the lens with your finger or rub the lens with abrasive materials. Even paper towels can 
damage the lens coating. Only ever use a proper photographic lens brush, cloth, and cleaning solution. Do 
not attempt to clean the lens while the projector is switched on or is still hot from previous use.
Cleaning the projector case
Before cleaning any part of the projector, turn it off using the proper shutdown procedure (see 
Shutting down the projector), unplug the power cable, and let it cool down completely. 
•  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. 
Then wipe the case.
Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other chemical detergents. These can damage the case.
Storing the projector
To store the projector for an extended time:
•  Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the recommended 
range for the projector. Refer to Specifications or consult your dealer about the range.
•  Retract the adjuster feet.
