Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your projector:

• Lamp Replacement: The projector lamp has a limited lifespan. When the lamp indicator lights up or the image dims significantly, replace the lamp according to the detailed instructions provided in the User Manual CD. Always use genuine Epson replacement lamps.
• Air Filter Cleaning: Regularly clean the air filter to prevent dust buildup, which can lead to overheating and reduced performance. Refer to the User Manual CD for specific filter cleaning and replacement procedures.
• General Cleaning: Wipe the projector casing with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface. Clean the lens gently with a lens cleaning cloth designed for optical surfaces.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your projector, refer to the following common solutions:

• No Image: Check all power connections and ensure the projector is powered on. Verify that the correct input source is selected. Confirm that all video cables are securely connected and that the lens cap is removed.
• Blurry Image: Adjust the focus ring on the projector lens. Ensure the projection surface is flat and the projector is stable and not vibrating.
• No Sound: If using an external audio system, ensure it is powered on and connected correctly. Verify audio cable connections (if applicable) and check both projector and source device volume settings. Ensure the correct audio output is selected on your source device.
• Wireless Connection Issues: Ensure both the projector and your connecting device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Try restarting both devices. Consult the User Manual CD for advanced network troubleshooting steps.

For further assistance with specific error messages or persistent problems, refer to the comprehensive User Manual CD included with your projector.
