Maintaining and Transporting the Projector Follow the instructions in these sections to maintain your projector and transport it from place to place. 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 or any harsh materials to clean the lens and do not subject the lens to any impacts; you may damage it. Do not use canned air, or the gases may leave a residue.
• To remove stubborn dirt, use a soft cloth moistened with water and mild soap. Do not spray liquid directly on the projector. Caution: Do not use wax, alcohol, benzine, paint thinner, or other chemicals to clean the projector case. These can damage the case. Do not use canned air, or the gases may leave a residue. Parent topic: Projector Maintenance Air Filter and Vent Maintenance Regular filter maintenance is important to maintaining your projector.
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. The gases may leave a flammable residue or push dust and debris into the projector's optics or other sensitive areas. 3. If dust is difficult to remove or the air filter is damaged, replace the air filter.
2. Carefully open the air filter cover. 3. Pull the air filter out of the projector. 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.

Be careful removing any broken glass to avoid injury. If the projector is installed on the ceiling, stand to the side of the lamp cover and not underneath it; pieces of glass could fall into your eyes or mouth when you open 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. Grasp the raised section of the lamp 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. 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. Caution: Do not over-tighten the screws.
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.
