Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter protects the lens and mirror inside the projector from dust and dirt. Should the air filter become clogged with dust, the projector may be damaged since it will block the air flow into the projector and raise the temperature of the projector. The following screen is displayed when turning on the projector if the air filter needs to be cleaned (after approx. 300 hours). Clean the air filter if such is the case.

Only the , OK and POWER buttons are available while this screen is displayed. (When you press the POWER button, the message “Push POWER button again to turn off power” appears.) After this screen has been displayed for 10 seconds and disappeared, all buttons become operable

• Hook your finger into the air filter handle on the side of the projector, and remove the air filter. Then use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust.
• Bring the vacuum cleaner nozzle directly close to the side intake vent and the bottom exhaust vent in order to clean them.
• If the filter replacement screen is displayed when turning on the projector after cleaning the air filter, select [Yes] and press OK. The filter replacement screen will disappear.
