Air Filter Cleaning; Lens And Main Unit Cleaning - Toshiba TLP-X150U Owner's Manual

Air filter cleaning

The air filter prevents dust and debris from getting inside the projector. Never run the
projector with the filter removed. It is recommended that you clean the air filter regularly.
• The message "Check the air filter for dirt." is displayed every 100 hours. (Once the
usage time exceeds 100 hours, the message is displayed for about 0 seconds the first
time the power is turned on and an image is displayed. The message will disappear with
any operation.)
• Check the filter and if any debris is found, use the following cleaning procedure.
WARNING
• Request cleaning and maintenance of a ceiling-mounted unit from your
projector dealership.
Attempting to clean or replace the filter in a high location by yourself may cause you
to fall, resulting in injury.
1
Unplug power cord.
2 Remove the air filter.
Pull out the air filter by holding the release knob
with your fingers as shown in the figure.
3
Clean the filter.
Carefully remove the dust and dirt from the air filter
with a vacuum cleaner or the like.
4 Replace the air filter.
Insert the air filter firmly until you hear a click.
Notes
• When dirt and dust build up in the air filter, the air circulation inside the projector is
affected and the internal temperature will rise, causing the projector to stop working or
malfunction.
• Be sure the air filter is inserted all the way into the slot. Leaving gaps will allow dust and
dirt to get inside the projector again.
• If you wash the air filer with water, make sure you dry it thoroughly before replacing it.
• If the air filter is torn, consult with your dealer about replacing it with a new one.
Continuing to use a ripped filter will allow dust and dirt to get inside the projector.

Lens and main unit cleaning

WARNING
• Request cleaning and maintenance of a ceiling-mounted unit from your
projector dealership. Attempting to clean the unit or replace the lamp in a high
location by yourself may cause you to fall, possibly resulting in injury.

Lens cleaning
• Clean the lens with a commercially available blower
and/or lens cleaner.
• The lens is easily scratched, so do not rub it with hard
objects, or strike it.

Main unit cleaning
• Always unplug the power cord before cleaning the main
unit.
• Wipe dirt off the main unit gently using a soft cloth.
• Do not wipe the main unit with a damp cloth.
Doing so may allow water to get inside, resulting in
possible electric shock or unit failure.
• Do not use benzene, thinner and the like as they
may deform or discolor the unit or damage the paint
surface.
• Do not use a chemically saturated cloth.
