Projector Maintenance Transporting the Projector Projector Maintenance Your projector needs little maintenance to keep working at its best. You may need to clean the lens periodically, and clean the air filter and air vents to prevent the projector from overheating due to blocked ventilation.
• To remove stubborn smudges, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens. Do not spray any liquid directly on the lens. Warning: Do not use a lens cleaner that contains flammable gas. The high heat generated by the projector lamp may cause a fire. Caution: Do not use glass cleaner to clean the lens, or you may damage it. Do not use canned air, or the gases may leave a residue.
2. Gently remove the dust using a small vacuum designed for computers or a very soft brush (such as a paintbrush). Note: You can remove the air filter so you can clean both sides of it. Do not rinse the air filter in water, or use any detergent or solvent to clean it. Caution: Do not use canned air, or the gases may leave a residue. 3. If dust is difficult to remove or the air filter is damaged, replace the air filter.
Replacing the Air Filter You need to replace the air filter in the following situations: • After cleaning the air filter, you see a message telling you to clean or replace it • The air filter is torn or damaged You can replace the air filter while the projector is mounted to the ceiling, if necessary. The illustrations here show the projector placed on a table. 1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. 2. Slide the air filter cover latch and open the air filter cover. 3.
Note: Air filters contain ABS resin and polyurethane foam. Dispose of used air filters according to local regulations. 4. Place the new air filter in the projector as shown and push gently until it clicks into place. 5. Close the air filter cover. Parent topic: Air Filter and Vent Maintenance Projector Lamp Maintenance The projector keeps track of the number of hours the lamp is used and displays this information in the projector's menu system.
Projector Lamp Specifications Replacing the Lamp Before you replace the lamp, let the projector cool down for at least one hour. Warning: Let the lamp fully cool before replacing it to avoid injury. You can replace the lamp while the projector is mounted to the ceiling, if necessary. 1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. 2. Allow the projector lamp to cool down for at least one hour. 3. Use the screwdriver included with the replacement lamp to loosen the screw securing the lamp cover.
4. Slide the lamp cover out and lift it off. 5. Loosen the screws securing the lamp to the projector. The screws do not come all the way out.
6. Lift up the lamp handle and gently pull the lamp out of the projector. Note: The lamp(s) in this product contain mercury. Please consult your state and local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in the trash.
7. Gently insert the new lamp into the projector. If it does not fit easily, make sure it is facing the right way. Press the handle down. Caution: Do not touch any glass on the lamp assembly to avoid premature lamp failure.
8. Push in the lamp firmly and tighten the screws to secure it. 9. Replace the lamp cover and tighten the screw to secure it. Note: Be sure the lamp cover is securely installed or the lamp will not come on.
Reset the lamp timer to zero to keep track of the new lamp’s usage. Parent topic: Projector Lamp Maintenance Related tasks Resetting the Lamp Timer Resetting the Lamp Timer You must reset the lamp timer after replacing the projector's lamp to clear the lamp replacement message and to keep track of lamp usage correctly.
