Flashing orange

It’s time to replace the lamp. See page 126 for instructions. If you

 

 

continue to use the lamp after the replacement warning, there is an

 

 

increased possibility that the lamp may break.

 

 

 

 

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 projector switches to standby mode (about 5 minutes).

 

 

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

 

 

on pages 122 to 126.

 

 

If you’re using the projector above an altitude of 4,900 feet (1,500

 

 

meters), turn on High Altitude Mode in the Operation menu (see

 

 

page 107).

 

 

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 146.

 

 

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

 

 

attempt to service this product yourself.

 

 

 

 

Flashing red

Power is cut off because of an internal problem. Unplug the power cord

 

 

and contact Epson for help, as described on page 146.

 

 

 

 

Flashing red

There is a problem with the fan or temperature sensor. Stop using the

 

 

projector, disconnect the power cord, and contact Epson as described on

 

 

page 146.

 

 

 

 

Flashing red

The lamp may be burnt out. First make sure the lamp cover is securely

 

 

installed. If that’s not the problem, the air filter may be clogged. Clean or

 

 

replace the air filter as described on pages 122 to 126.

 

 

If this does not resolve the problem, let the lamp cool and then remove it.

 

 

If the lamp is cracked, replace it as described on page 126. If the lamp is

 

 

not cracked, reinstall it. If reinstalling doesn’t work, replace the lamp.

 

 

If you’re using the projector above an altitude of 4,900 feet (1,500

 

 

meters), turn on High Altitude Mode in the Operation menu (see

 

 

page 107).

 

 

If none of these suggestions resolves the problem, contact Epson as

 

 

described on page 146.
