Cleaning Lenses - HP 8168E User Manual

Cleaning Lenses

Some lenses have special coatings that are sensitive to solvents, grease, liquid and mechanical
abrasion. Take extra care when cleaning lenses with these coatings.
Lens assemblies consisting of several lenses are not normally sealed. Therefore, use as little
alcohol as possible, as it can get between the lenses and in doing so can change the properties of
projection.
Preferred 1. Clean the lens by rubbing a new, dry cotton-swab over the surface using a
small circular movement.
Procedure
2. Blow away any remaining lint with compressed air.
