Cleaning the Outer Panel/Air Filter of the Projector

Clean the air filter and ventilation holes (exhaust/intake) periodically.

Clean the air filter when the message that prompts cleaning the air filter appears. The message that prompts cleaning the air filter appears when a clogged air filter is detected or when the time set by the [Filter Timer Notif] has elapsed.

Caution

If you continue to use the projector with the air filter clogged, the internal temperature will rise, and this may cause a malfunction.

  1. Turn off the projector, and disconnect the AC power cord from a wall outlet.
  2. Vacuum the dust around the air filter cover and ventilation holes (exhaust/intake) with a vacuum cleaner.
  3. Slide the air filter cover sideways to remove it.

    If dust remains in the area where the air filter cover has been removed, vacuum it with a vacuum cleaner.

  4. Pull the air filter pull stick upwards, and remove the air filter from the air filter cover.

  5. Vacuum the dust from the front side (the side without the pull stick) of the air filter with a vacuum cleaner.
  6. Attach the air filter to the air filter cover so that the pull stick protrudes outwards from the air filter cover.

    Attach so that there is no gap between the air filter and air filter cover.

  7. Attach the air filter cover to the projector.

    Fully push it in so that there is no gap between the air filter cover and the outer panel surface of the projector.

Note

  • If you clean the projector without disconnecting the power cord, the fan may spin by accidentally turning the power on, and this may cause damage or injury.
  • If you remove the air filter cover while the power is turned on, you may accidentally touch the fan inside the projector, and this may cause injury.
  • Do not use a brush to remove dust. Dust may fall inside the projector, and this may cause a malfunction.
  • Be sure to attach the air filter when using the projector. If you use the projector without the air filter, dust will be sucked into it, and this may cause a malfunction.
  • Do not vacuum the dust from the back side (the side with the pull stick) of the air filter when vacuuming with a vacuum cleaner. This may cause clogging.
  • Do not spread out the filter surface or do not press the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner forcibly against it. This may cause damage to the air filter.
  • Do not rub the surface of the air filter with a brush. This may cause dust to be pushed into the air filter or damage the air filter.
  • Do not use high-pressure air such as an air duster. This may cause dust to be pushed into the air filter, a problem due to the adhesion of contained substances, or damage to the air filter.
  • When attaching the air filter to the air filter cover, ensure that the pull stick side of the air filter is on the opposite side of the air filter cover handle. Also, ensure that the surface with the pull stick is facing up.
  • Securely attach the air filter to the air filter cover, taking care not to hit the hook of the air filter cover. If the air filter is attached to the air filter cover incorrectly, this may cause a malfunction.
