Caring for Your PowerLite 
Presenter
The projector needs little maintenance. All you need to do on a regular basis is keep the lens 
clean. You also may need to clean the air filter to help prevent overheating.
Warning: Before you clean any part of the projector, turn it off and unplug the power cord. Never 
open any part of the projector, except as described in this  User’s Guide. 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 Epson or a qualified servicer (see page 68).
Follow the instructions in this section to clean the lens and case, clean and replace the air 
filter, replace the lamp, and store or transport the projector.
Protecting PowerLite Presenter
The projector is designed for use virtually anywhere. However, the projector and its 
accessories should not be exposed to water, smoke, direct heat or sunlight, or left outside for 
long periods of time. As with other electronic equipment, please avoid exposure of the 
projector to moisture, dust, smoke, and other environmental factors which may result in 
damage to internal electronics over time. See the warranty brochure included with your 
projector for additional detail s on the use of the projector.
Cleaning the Lens

detergent. Wring the cloth as dry as possible, then wipe the case.
Caution: Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical detergents. These can 
damage the case. Never spray cleaners directly on 
the projector.
Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
Clean the air filter and air intake vent when  dust builds up or when you see the following

2. Use a small vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office equipment to clean  the filter, as shown.
If you cannot clean the removable filter or it is broken, you need to replace it. 
You can purchase a new filter (part # V13H134A26) from an Epson authorized reseller.

Note: Epson shall not be liable for any damages incurred during transportation.
Your 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 th e carrier is capable of transporting fragile 
equipment and is aware that the projector is fragile. 
■If you move the projector from a cold environment into a warm room, condensation 
(moisture) may form internally or on the lens surface. To avoid damage that might be 
caused by condensation, wait approximately an hour before using the projector. If 
condensation forms, turn off the power, then wait an hour or two before use.
■When you are hand-carrying the projector, make  sure all discs are ejected, the lens cover 
is closed, and the feet are retracted.
