Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your projector:

• Cleaning the Lens: Gently wipe the projector lens with a non-abrasive, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical surfaces. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the lens.
• Cleaning the Air Filter: Periodically clean or replace the air filter to prevent overheating and maintain image quality. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for filter location and replacement instructions.
• Lamp Replacement: The projector lamp has a finite lifespan. When the lamp indicator lights up or the image becomes dim, replace the lamp according to the instructions in the user manual. Always use genuine Epson replacement lamps.
• General Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the projector with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your projector, try the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Image: Ensure all cables are securely connected and the correct input source is selected. Check if the lens cap is removed.
• Dim Image: Verify the lamp mode setting (e.g., Eco mode might reduce brightness). Check the lamp life and replace if necessary. Ensure the air filter is clean.
• Blurred Image: Adjust the focus ring on the lens. Ensure the projector is placed at the correct distance from the screen and the screen surface is flat.
• Overheating Warning: Ensure the projector's vents are not blocked and there is adequate airflow around the unit. Clean the air filter.
• Remote Control Not Working: Check and replace the batteries in the remote control. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the projector's sensor.
