Maintenance
The projector requires little maintenance. You should keep the lens clean as dust,
dirt, or spots will project on the screen and diminish image quality.
You will also need to clean the air filter located at the bottom of the projector periodically.
It is important to keep the air filter clean because a clogged air filter prevents proper
ventilation which is necessary to cool the projector and prevent it from overheating.
The only parts you should replace yourself are the lamp and the air filter.  If any other
parts need replacement, contact your Vivitar dealer or qualified service personnel.
When cleaning any part of the projector, always switch off and unplug the projector
first.
Warning:
Never open any of the projector panels except the lamp and air filter
covers. Dangerous electrical voltages inside the projector can cause severe
injury. Except as specifically indicated in this Instruction Manual, do not
attempt  to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
Cleaning the Lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Wipe the lens surface
gently with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
To remove dirt or stains on the lens, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral
detergent and gently wipe the lens surface.
Cleaning the Projector Housing
To clean the projector housing, first unplug the power cable. To remove dirt or dust,
wipe the casing with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. To remove stubborn dirt or stains,
moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral detergent, then wipe the casing. Do not
use alcohol, benzene, thinners or other chemical detergents, as these can cause
damage to the casing.

Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter, which is located at the bottom of the projector, should be cleaned after
every 100 hours of use. If it is not cleaned periodically, it can become clogged with
dust and prevent the projector from being ventilated properly. This can cause
overheating and damage the projector.
To clean the air filter:
1. Switch the projector off and unplug the power cable from the wall socket.
2. Turn the projector upside down so that the filter is easily accessible.
3. Note the release latch that retains the filter panel.  Slide to release.
Caution:
To clean the filter, you are advised to use a small vacuum cleaner designed
for computers and other office equipment. If the dirt is difficult to remove or
if the filter is torn, replace it.  A replacement air filter is provided with
replacement lamps.
4. Replace the filter panel door and plug the power cable back into the projector.
Replacing the Lamp
The projector lamp typically lasts for about 2000 hours of use. It is time to replace the
lamp when:
 The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate
 The projection lamp indicator LED turns to red (See page 14)
Caution:
The projector lamp develops high heat and high pressure during use.  If
the lamp (bulb) ruptures, burns may result. To avoid serious injury, before
attempting to replace the lamp, remove the power cord plug from the outlet
and wait for the lamp (bulb) to cool (wait at least one hour). Then proceed to
replace lamp.
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.
2. Turn the projector over so you can access the lamp cover.
3. Remove the two access panel screws and open the panel.
4. Grasp the lamp handle and pull the lamp assembly directly out of the projector.
5. Insert the new lamp assembly - making sure not to touch the optical surfaces with
your fingers.  Lint-free gloves or finger cots are recommended.
