Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Vivibright GP8S projector.

1. Cleaning the Lens

  • Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses.

  • Use a soft brush or a can of compressed air to gently remove dust from the grilles.
