Maintaining and Transporting the Projector Follow the instructions in these sections to maintain your projector and transport it from place to place. Projector Maintenance Transporting the Projector Projector Maintenance Your projector needs little maintenance to keep working at its best. You may need to clean the lens periodically, and clean the air filter and air vents to prevent the projector from overheating due to blocked ventilation.
• To remove stubborn smudges, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens. Do not spray any liquid directly on the lens. Warning: Do not use a lens cleaner that contains flammable gas. The high heat generated by the projector lamp may cause a fire. Caution: Do not use glass cleaner or any harsh materials to clean the lens and do not subject the lens to any impacts; you may damage it. Do not use canned air, or the gases may leave a residue.
Related references Projector Light Status Cleaning the Air Filter and Vents Clean the projector's air filter or vents if they get dusty, or if you see a message telling you to clean them. 1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. 2. Gently remove the dust using a small vacuum designed for computers or a very soft brush (such as a paintbrush). Note: You can remove the air filter so you can clean both sides of it. Do not rinse the air filter in water or use any detergent or solvent to clean it.
2. Carefully open the air filter cover.
3. Pull the air filter out of the projector. Note: Air filters contain ABS resin and polyurethane foam. Dispose of used air filters according to local regulations.
4. Place the new air filter in the projector as shown and push gently until it clicks into place. 5. Close the air filter cover. Parent topic: Air Filter and Vent Maintenance Related references Optional Equipment and Replacement Parts Projector Lamp Maintenance The projector keeps track of the number of hours the lamp is used and displays this information in the projector's menu system.
Caution: If you continue to use the lamp after the above conditions occur, the possibility that the lamp may explode increases. When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working. You should always have a spare lamp unit ready in case it is needed. Caution: Do not repeatedly turn the projector power on and off. This may shorten the lamp's operating life. Note: We recommend the use of genuine Epson replacement lamps.
3. Use the screwdriver included with the replacement lamp to loosen the screw securing the lamp cover. Warning: If the lamp is broken, glass fragments may be loose inside the lamp chamber. Be careful removing any broken glass to avoid injury. If the projector is installed on the ceiling, stand to the side of the lamp cover and not underneath it; pieces of glass could fall into your eyes or mouth when you open the lamp cover. 4. Slide the lamp cover out and lift it off.
5. Loosen the screws securing the lamp to the projector. The screws do not come all the way out. 6. Grasp the raised section of the lamp and gently pull the lamp out of the projector. Note: The lamp(s) in this product contain mercury. Please consult your state and local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in the trash.
7. Gently insert the new lamp into the projector. If it does not fit easily, make sure it is facing the right way. Caution: Do not touch any glass on the lamp assembly to avoid premature lamp failure. 8. Push in the lamp firmly and tighten the screws to secure it. Caution: Do not over-tighten the screws.
9. Replace the lamp cover and tighten the screw to secure it. Note: Be sure the lamp cover is securely installed or the lamp will not come on. Reset the lamp timer to zero to keep track of the new lamp's usage.
3. Select the Reset menu and press Enter. 4. Select Reset Lamp Hours and press Enter. You see a prompt asking if you want to reset the lamp hours. 5. Select Yes and press Enter. 6.
