92 Managing the Projector from a Remote Computer
1 Maintaining the Projector Y our projector needs little maintenance. All you have to do on a regular basis is keep the lens clean. Any dirt or smears on the lens may show up on your projected image. warning Before you clean any part of the projector, turn it off and unplug the power cord. Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp cover. Dangerous electrical voltages in the projector can injure you severely.
Cleaning the Lens Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. ■ Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust. ■ To remove dirt or smears on the lens, use lens-cleaning tissue. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface. Remove the cap before cleaning Cleaning the Projector Case Before you clean the case, first turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
Cleaning the Air Filters and Vents Clean the air filters and air intake vents after every 100 hours of use. If they are not cleaned periodically, they can become clogged with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This can cause overheating and damage the projector. Follow these steps: 1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. 2. To clean the intake vents, EPSON recommends using a small vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office equipment.
