Status lights (continued)

Light	Status	Description
	Flashing red	There is a problem with the fan or temperature sensor. Stop using the
		projector, disconnect the power cable, and contact Epson as described
		on page 76.
	Flashing orange	Rapid cooling is in progress. Although this is not an abnormal condition,
		projection will stop automatically if the temperature rises higher. Make
		sure there is plenty of space around and under the projector for
		ventilation, and that the air filters and vents are clear.
	Red	The projector is overheating, which turns the lamp off automatically.
		Wait until the cooling fan stops, then unplug the power cord. Plug the
		power cord back in and press the P Power button. Make sure the room
		temperature is not above 95 °F (35 °C), and there is plenty of space
		around and under the projector for ventilation.
		The air filters may be clogged. Clean or replace them as described on
		page 59.
		If the projector continues to overheat after you clean the air filter, the
		problem may be caused by damage to the cooling fan or temperature
		sensor. Contact Epson for help as described on page 76.
		Warning: Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not
		attempt to service this product yourself.
	Flashing orange	It’s time to replace the lamp. See page 60 for instructions. If you continue
		to use the lamp after the replacement warning, there is an increased
		possibility that the lamp may break.
	Flashing red	The lamp may be burnt out. First make sure the lamp cover is securely
		installed. If that’s not the problem, let the lamp cool, remove the lamp,
		and replace it as described on page 60. If this does not resolve the
		problem, contact Epson as described on page 76.
	Flashing red	Power is cut off because of an internal problem. Unplug the power cord
