emote control.
CAUTION
•	 Turn	off	the	projector,	turn	off	the	main	power	switch	and	unplug	the	projector	before	replacing	the	filters.
•	 Only	clean	the	outside	of	the	filter	cover	with	a	vacuum	cleaner.
•	 Do	not	attempt	to	operate	the	projector	without	the	filter	cover.
To	clean	the	air-filter:
Vacuum	the	filter-through	the	filter	cover.
To	replace	the	filter	(sponge):
1. Remove the filter cover (2 locations) by pushing up on the catch of the cover until you feel it detach.
2.  Replace two filters.
  (1) Gently peel off the filter (sponge) and clean the filter cover.
 (2) Attach the new filter to the filter cover.
