<strong>Cleaning</strong> the lens<br />
CAUTION<br />
Do not apply pressure to the lens because you can easily scratch it.<br />
Do not use compressed air to blow off dust.<br />
Never touch the lens with your bare hands <strong>or</strong> a brush.<br />
Use an air bellows bulb (commonly found in audiovisual supply st<strong>or</strong>es and in <strong>SMART</strong>’s project<strong>or</strong> cleaning kit) to blow off dust.<br />
If wiping the lens is unavoidable, wear protective gloves and dip a lintfree cloth (such as Purestat PW2004) in an antistatic solvent (such as Hyperclean EE6310). Gather part<br />
of the cleaning cloth into a soft ball and hold the ball with your fingers. Gently brush the remaining cleaning cloth across the lens from the center to the edge, like you would a<br />
feather duster, without applying any pressure to the lens.<br />
