Cleaning or Replacing the Air Filter
Clean the air filter at the bottom of the projector after every 100
hours of use. If it is not cleaned periodically, it can become
clogged with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This can cause
overheating and damage the projector. Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the projector and allow it to cool down.
2. Turn off the switch on the back of the projector.
3. Unplug the power cord.
4. Turn the projector on its side so that the handle is on top
and you can access the filter easily.
5. To clean the filter, EPSON
recommends using a small
vacuum cleaner designed for
computers and other office
equipment. If you don’t have
one, gently clean the filter
using a very soft brush (such as
an artist’s camel-hair brush).
If the dirt is difficult to
remove or the filter is broken,
replace it. Contact your dealer
or call EPSON at (800) 873-7766 in the United States to
obtain a new one. In Canada, please call (800) 463-7766 for
dealer referral.
Note: When you get a replacement lamp for your projector, a
new air filter is included. You should replace the filter when
you replace the lamp.
6. If you need to replace the filter, lift the latch to remove the
filter.
7. To install the new filter, first insert the tabs, then press on
the latch until it clicks in place.
Replacing the Lamp
The projection lamp typically lasts for about 3000 hours of use.
It is time to replace the lamp when:
❏ The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
❏ The lamp warning light is red or flashing orange.
❏ The message
LAMP REPLACE appears on the screen when
the lamp comes on (after about 2900 hours of use). To
maintain projector brightness and image quality, replace the
lamp as soon as possible.
Note: You can check to see how many hours the lamp has been used
through the About menu.
Contact your dealer or call EPSON at (800) 873-7766 in the
United States for a replacement lamp. Request part number
V13H010L17. In Canada, please call (800) 463-7766 for dealer
referral.
Warning: Be extremely careful when removing the lamp module.
Let the lamp cool before replacing it. If the lamp breaks, handle the
shards carefully to avoid injury. In the unlikely event that the bulb
has ruptured, small glass fragments may be present and should be
removed with caution.
If your projector is mounted on the ceiling, you should unmount it
before accessing the lamp compartment. This will make it easier for
you to replace the lamp and minimize the chance of any small glass
fragments dropping from the projector.
Follow these steps to replace the lamp:
1. Turn off the projector and wait for it to cool down (until the
light stops flashing).
2. Turn off the power switch on the back of the projector and
unplug the power cord.
3. Allow the projector to cool down for at least half an hour
(if it has been on).
