7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your projector.

• Dustproof: Excessive dust can affect heat dissipation. Clean the dust filter every one and a half months in typical usage environments.
• Ventilation: Ensure no objects block the air inlet, ventilation, or air outlet during installation and use. Proper airflow is crucial for heat dissipation and stable operation.
• Lens Maintenance: The lens is critical for image clarity. If dirty, gently wipe it with a soft cotton cloth. Do not use harsh cloths or corrosive substances.
• Cleaning: Regularly clean excessive dust from the projector's surface to prevent heat dissipation issues.
• Moisture-proof: The projector's optimal working humidity is between 45%-60%. Avoid using it in overly humid environments, as this can affect stability.
• Shockproof: Protect the projector from strong impacts, extrusion, and vibration, especially when it is operating. Avoid moving or knocking the projector during use to prevent internal electrical damage.
• Do not install the projector on an unstable, shaky, or uneven surface.
