Flashing

Rapid cooling is in progress. Although this is not an abnormal condition,

 

 

orange

projection will stop automatically if the temperature rises higher. Make

 

 

 

sure there is plenty of space around the projector for ventilation, and that

 

 

 

the air filter and vents are clear. If you’re using the projector above 4900

 

 

 

feet (1500 m), turn on High Altitude Mode; see page 64.

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 PPower button. Make sure the room

 

 

 

temperature is not above 95 °F (35 °C), and there is plenty of space

 

 

 

around the projector for ventilation. If you’re using the projector above

 

 

 

4900 feet (1500 m), turn on High Altitude Mode; see page 64.

 

 

 

The air filter or vent may be clogged. Clean them or replace the air filter

 

 

 

as described on page 69.

 

 

 

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 87.

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 70.

 

 

 

The air filter or vent may be clogged. Clean them or replace the air filter
