You
need to clean the projector's air filter in the following
situations:
- The filter or vents get dusty.
- You see a message telling you to clean it.
- The projector's Filter light is orange or flashes orange.
Note: It is
recommended that you clean the air filter every 20,000 hours. Clean
it more often if the projector is in a dusty environment.
You can clean the air filter while the projector is mounted to the ceiling or placed on a table.
- Turn off the projector, wait for the projector to beep, and unplug the power cord.
-
Loosen the screws and remove
the air filter cover as shown (it is attached with a
tether).
- Pull the air filter out of the projector.
-
Tap each side of the air filter 4 to 5 times
to shake off any excess dust.
Caution:Do not use excessive force when tapping the air filter, or it may crack and become unusable. Do not rinse the air filter in water, or use any detergent or solvent to clean it. Do not use canned air; the gases may leave a residue, or push dust and debris into the projector's optics or other sensitive areas.
-
Vacuum the front of the air filter (the side
with the tabs) to remove any remaining dust.
Note: If dust is difficult to remove or the air filter is damaged, replace the air filter.
- Vacuum the air intake vent to remove any remaining dust.
-
Place the air filter back in
the projector as shown.
- Replace the air filter cover and tighten the screws as shown.
