Fitting the Lens Cap
When fitting the lens cap onto the lens, 
position the lens cap so that the concave on 
the side of the lens cap will fit the zoom 
lever, as shown in the illustration.
Cleaning
Cleaning the lens
The lens surface is especially treated to 
reduce reflection of light.
As incorrect maintenance may impair the 
performance of the projector, take care with 
respect to the following:
 Wipe the lens gently with a soft cloth such 
as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.
 Stubborn stains may be removed with a 
soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass 
cleaning cloth lightly dampened with 
water.
 Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene 
or thinner, or acid, alkaline or abrasive 
detergent, or chemical cleaning cloth, as 
they will damage the lens surface.
Cleaning the cabinet
 To remove dust from the cabinet, wipe 
gently with a soft cloth. If dust is 
persistent, wipe with a soft cloth slightly 
moistened with a diluted mild detergent 
solution.
 Never use any type of abrasive pad, 
alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or 
volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, 
thinner or insecticide. 
 Clean the unit with a cleaning cloth. 
Wiping with a dirty cloth may scratch the 
unit.
 Using such materials or maintaining 
prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl 
materials may result in damage to the 
screen surface and cabinet material.
