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 filter 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.

 

 

 

 

If you’re using the projector above an altitude of 5000 feet (1500 m),

 

 

 

 

turn on High Altitude Mode in the Operation menu (see page 60).

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

as described on pages 65 to 68.

 

 

 

 

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 83.

 

 

 

 

Warning: Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not

 

 

 

 

attempt to service this product yourself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flashing red

There is a problem with the fan or temperature sensor. The air filter or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

vents may be clogged. Clean them or replace the air filter as described on

 

 

 

 

pages 65 to 68.

 

 

 

 

If this does not resolve the problem, stop using the projector, disconnect

 

 

 

 

the power cable, and contact Epson as described on page 83.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flashing orange

It’s time to replace the lamp. See page 66 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 66.

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

as described on pages 65 to 68.

 

 

 

 

If this does not resolve the problem, contact Epson as described on

 

 

 

 

page 83.
