note
You can check to see how many hours the lamp has been used. See page 75.
warning
Let the lamp cool before replacing it. Also, do not touch the glass portion of the lamp assembly. Touching the glass will result in premature lamp failure.
Replacing the Lamp
The projection lamp typically lasts for about 2000 hours of use. It is time to replace the lamp when:
■The projection image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
■The projection lamp light is flashing red or orange.
■The message LAMP REPLACE appears on the screen when the projector lamp comes on (after about 1900 hours of use). To maintain projector brightness and image quality, replace the lamp as soon as possible.
Contact your dealer or EPSON for a replacement lamp. (See page 92 for information on ordering accessories.) Request part number ELPLP11.
1.Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable
2.Allow the projector to cool down for at least an hour (if it has been on).
3.Use a screwdriver to loosen the two retaining screws on the lamp cover. When the screws are loose, lift off the lamp cover. (You cannot remove these screws from the cover.)
