Caring for MovieMate
MovieMate 30s 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 MovieMate, turn it off and unplug the power cord. Never 
open any part of MovieMate, 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 62).
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 MovieMate.
Protecting MovieMate
The Epson MovieMate projector is designed for use virtually anywhere at home. However, 
MovieMate and its accessories should not be exposed to water, smoke, direct heat or sunlight, 
or left outside for long periods of time. As with typical electronic equipment, please avoid 
exposure of MovieMate to moisture, dust, smoke, and other environmental factors which may 
result in damage to internal electronics over time. See the “Epson America, Inc. Limited 
Warranty” on page 71 for additional details on the use of your MovieMate 30s Series.
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.

Cleaning MovieMate’s Case
Before you clean the case, turn off MovieMate 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. 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 MovieMate.
Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
Clean the air filters when dust builds up or when you see the following message:
The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vents, and 
clean or replace the air filter.
If the air filters are not cleaned periodically, they can become clogged with dust, preventing 
proper ventilation. This can cause overheating and damage MovieMate.
1. Turn off the main power switch and unplug MovieMate.
2. Use a small vacuum cleaner designed for 
computers and other office equipment to clean 
the filters, 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 # 
V13H134A09) from an Epson authorized 
reseller. To find the nearest reseller, call 
800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766). Or you can
