Filter prevents dust from accumulating on the optical elements inside the projector. Should the air filters become 
clogged  with  dust  particles,  it  will  reduce  cooling  fans’  effectiveness  and  may  result  in  internal  heat  buildup  and 
adversely  affect  the  life  of  the  projector.  If  a  “Filter  warning”  icon  appears  on  the  screen,  clean  the  air  filters 
immediately. Clean the air filters by following the steps below.
Gently  clean  the  air  filters  by  using  a  brush  or  rinse  it 
softly.
When  rinsing  the  air  filters,  dry  it  well.  Replace  the  air 
filters  properly.  Make  sure  that  the  air  filters  are  fully 
inserted to the projector.

CAUTION
Do  not  operate  the  projector  with  the  air  filters 
removed.  Dust  may  accumulate  on  the  optical 
elements degrading picture quality.
Do not put anything into the air vents. Doing so 
may result in malfunction of the projector.
RECOMMENDATION
