Proper Care for Lenses and Filters
■ Lens Cleaning Procedure
Power off & cool down: Wait at least 30 minutes after use for the projector to cool before starting.
Remove dust with an air duster: Spray from 10cm away from the lens.
Identify dirt location: Shine light diagonally to locate fingerprints and oil stains.
Wipe in a straight line: Apply a small amount of cleaning solution to a dedicated cloth and wipe in straight lines, not circles.
Finish with a dry cloth: Quickly remove any remaining moisture.
Wiping in circles can scratch the coating. Do not use water, alcohol, or tissues.
■ Filter Cleaning Procedure
Remove filter: Turn off the power, open the filter cover, and remove the filter.
Clean both sides with an air duster: Set the pressure to low and spray.
Check for clogging: Hold up to the light to check if the mesh is clogged. Replace if severely clogged.
Reinstall: Insert in the correct orientation and close the cover.
Do not wash filters with water. This can damage the material and reduce airflow. Clogging can increase internal temperature by over 15°C, shortening LED lifespan.
Optimizing the Installation Environment
✅ Recommended Environment
- Temperature: 5℃ to 35℃
- Humidity: 30% to 70%

- Near bathrooms or kitchens
- Directly below air conditioners or heaters
- Near sources of strong magnetic or electromagnetic waves
Usage Habits for Extended Lifespan
■ Correct Power-Off Procedure
Power off with remote control: Select "Yes" on the confirmation screen.
Wait for cooling fan to stop: Approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute until fan noise ceases.

How often do I need to clean my projector?
A basic routine includes a 30-second visual check daily, lens and filter cleaning weekly, settings check monthly, and professional service annually. If your usage environment is dusty, increase filter cleaning to monthly.
There's dust on the lens. Can I wipe it with a tissue?
Do not use tissues. Fibers can be left on the lens or scratch the coating. Always use a dedicated microfiber cloth and alcohol-free lens cleaning solution.
How often do filters need to be replaced?
With weekly cleaning, filters typically last 1 to 2 years. If the mesh is clogged when held up to light, or if overheating or abnormal noise persists after cleaning, it's a sign to replace it. Aestiquo sells replacement filters.
I unplugged the power cord directly. Is that a problem?
It's unlikely to be a major problem if done once or twice, but habitually doing so can cause heat to build up before the cooling fan stops, leading to deterioration of internal components. In the future, always follow the procedure: power off with the remote → wait for fan to stop → unplug.
