Caring for the Projector
Your projector needs little maintenance. All you need to do on a regular basis is keep the lens 
clean. You also need to clean the air filter periodically to prevent overheating.
Warning: Before you clean any part of the projector, turn it off and unplug the power cord. 
Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous 
electrical voltages in the projector can injure you severely. Do not try to service this 
product yourself, except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide. 
The only parts you should replace are the lamp and air filter. If another part needs replacing, 
contact your dealer or a qualified servicer.
Follow the instructions in this section to clean the lens and projector case, change the remote 
control’s battery, clean and replace the air filter, replace the lamp, and store or transport the 
projector.
Cleaning the Lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.
■Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.
■To remove dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with 
lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.
Caution: Never rub the lens with abrasive materials. 
						

							26
Cleaning the Projector Case
Before you clean the case, turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
■To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
■To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral 
detergent. Then wipe the case.
Caution: Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical detergents. These 
can damage the case.
Changing the Remote Control’s Battery
You can obtain a replacement CR2025 lithium battery commercially. 
Warning: Keep batteries away from children. If a child swallows the battery, contact your 
doctor immediately.
1. Press the catch in as you pull the battery holder out.
2. Remove the old battery and insert the new one. The plus mark (+) on the battery should

Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
Clean the air filter on the bottom of the projector after every 100 hours of use. If it’s not 
cleaned periodically, it can become clogged with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This can 
cause overheating and damage the projector.
1. Turn off the projector and wait for the P power light to stop flashing.
2. Unplug the power cord and disconnect any cables.
3. Turn the projector over. Then use a small vacuum 
cleaner designed for computers and other office 
equipment to clean the filter, as shown. 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 and ask for part number 
V13H134A04. In 
Canada, call (800) 463-7766 for dealer referral.
4. If you need to replace the filter, press the tab in and lift the 
cover up.
5. Remove the old filter and replace it with a new one.
6. To replace the cover, insert the tabs and press down until the 
cover clicks into place.

Replacing the Lamp
It’s time to replace the lamp when:
■The projection image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
■The projector’s warning light flashes red at half second 
intervals.
■The message Replace the lamp appears on the screen 
when you start projecting.
Contact your dealer or call Epson at (800) 873-7766 in the United States for a replacement 
lamp. Request part number 
V13H010L29. In Canada, call (800) 463-7766 for dealer referral.
Be sure to read the “Important Safety Information” on page 5 before replacing the lamp. 
Warning: Let the lamp cool before replacing it. If the lamp breaks, handle the shards 
carefully to avoid injury. If your projector is mounted on the ceiling, take it down before 
beginning this procedure. 
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 gloves to handle the new lamp.
Note: Although an air filter is included with the lamp, you cannot use it with the projector. If 
you need to replace the air filter, ask for part number V13H134A04 when you contact your 
dealer or Epson. See page 27 for details on ordering.
Follow these steps to replace the lamp:
1. Turn off the projector and wait for the P power light to stop flashing.

Storing the Projector
If you need to store the projector for awhile, do the following:
■Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the recommended 
range for the projector (14 to 140 °F [-10 to 60 °C] and 10 to 90% relative humidity).
■Attach the lens cover and retract the feet.
■Remove the battery from the remote control.
■Package the projector in its original packaging or equivalent (as described in the following 
section).
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, placing plenty of 
cushioning around the projector. 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, use the recessed hand grips on the sides.
