Maintenance Tips        

• Dust prevention first: Always keep lens cap on and store in a dry, dust-free environment to avoid coating damage.
• Safe cleaning method: Use a blower to remove dust before any contact cleaning. Wipe only with a microfiber/lens tissue in light center-to-edge strokes.
• No liquids directly on lens: Apply approved lens cleaner only to the cloth—not the glass—to protect anti-reflective coatings.
• Avoid pressure & friction: Never scrub or use rough materials; FL-501 is a precision optical element and scratches reduce image sharpness.
• Temperature care: Let projector cool before handling to prevent thermal stress on the fixed optics.
• Regular inspection: Check for haze, fingerprints, or dust every few weeks; clean only when image quality is affected.
• Proper storage handling: When removed, always fit protective caps immediately to prevent internal dust ingress
