Transporting the Projector
Note: EPSON shall not be liable for any damages incurred during transportation.
The projector contains many glass and precision parts. If you need to transport it, follow these
guidelines to prevent damage:
When shipping the projector for repairs, use the original packaging material if possible. If
you do not have the original packaging, use equivalent materials. Be sure the carrier is
capable of transporting fragile equipment and is aware that the projector is fragile.
When you are hand-carrying the projector, grip the recessed handles on the sides.
Replacing the Lamp
The projection lamp lasts for up to 3000 hours (in low brightness mode) or 1700 hours
(in high brightness mode). You can use the Info menu to check how long it’s been in use (see
page 58). It’s time to replace the lamp when:
The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
The projector’s lamp light flashes orange at half-second
intervals.
The message Replace the lamp appears on the screen
when you start projecting.
Note: Lamp life results will vary depending on mode selected,
environmental conditions, and usage.
Contact your dealer or call EPSON at (800) 873-7766 in the United States for a replacement
lamp. Request part number

Be sure to read the “Important Safety Information” on page 73 before replacing the lamp.
Warning: Let the lamp cool fully before replacing it. In the unlikely event that the lamp has
broken, small glass fragments may be present and should be removed carefully to avoid injury.
The lamp component contains mercury. Please consult your state and local regulations
regarding proper disposal or recycling, and do not place in the trash.
Caution: Never touch the lamp with your bare hands; the invisible residue left by the oil on
your hands may shorten the lamp life. Use a cloth or glove to handle the new lamp.
