Maintenance

Inspect the Card Cage Filter

Use only high efficiency Christie approved filters. Never operate the projector without the filter
installed.
You should check the condition of the card cage air
filter monthly. Clean or replace the card cage air filter
sooner if you are operating the projector in a dusty or
dirty environment. The filter is located on the left
side of the projector behind the air filter cover.
1. Loosen the 2 captive screws on the bottom of
the filter cover.
2. Pull the cover out and down.
3. Slide the air filter out and inspect it.
4. If the filter appears dirty and you cannot see
through it, replace it with a new paper filter, or
clean it if it is a washable filter. See
Washable Filter
If the filter appears clean, continue to step 4.
5. Replace the air filter with the airflow indicator facing toward the projector.
6. Install the air filter cover by inserting the 2 bottom tabs and then pushing the cover closed.
7. Tighten the 2 captive screws.

Cleaning a Washable Filter

If the amount of dirt on the filter is minimal, use a vacuum or compressed air to remove it. If you use
compressed air, the air must move through the filter in the opposite direction of the air flow indicator
on the side of the filter.
The installation of a filter that has not been allowed to dry completely can cause an electrical
short and damage the projector.
1. Hold the filter on an angle under warm running water so the water flows through the filter in the
opposite direction of the air flow indicator on the side of the filter.
2. Rinse the filter thoroughly.
3. Submerge the filter for a minimum of 30 minutes in a container of warm water and two
tablespoons of mild detergent or liquid dish soap.
If the filter is extremely dirty, move the filter from side to side occasionally, or remove the excess
dirt by brushing both sides of the filter with a soft brush.
4. Rinse the filter thoroughly by holding it on an angle under cool running water. The air flow arrow
on the side of the filter should face down.
