Maintenance

Cleaning

Cleaning the air filter

You need to clean the air filter when dust builds up or

you see the message “The projector is overheating.

Make sure nothing is blocking the air vents, and clean or

replace the air filter.” Use a small vacuum cleaner

designed for computers or other office equipment, as

shown. If you don’t have one, gently clean the filter

using a very soft brush, such as an artist’s paintbrush.

If dust collects on the air filter, it can cause the internal tem-

perature to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation

and shortening of the optical engine’s service life. It is rec-

ommended that you clean these parts at least once every

three months. Clean them more often than this if using the

MovieMate in particularly dusty environments.

Cleaning MovieMate

Clean the surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.

If MovieMate is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth

with water containing a small amount of neutral deter-

gent, and then wring the cloth nearly dry before using

it. Then wipe MovieMate again with a soft, dry cloth.

Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner

to clean MovieMate’s surface. These can cause MovieMate to

warp and make the coating finish peel off. Never spray clean-

ers directly on MovieMate.

Cleaning the projection lens

Use a cannister of compressed air to remove dust. To

remove dirt or smears, use lens cleaning paper to gently

wipe the lens.

Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to

shocks, as it can easily become damaged.

Replacing the air filter and lamp

Replace the air filter when it gets dirty or broken.

Replace the lamp when you see the message “Replace the lamp” or when the projected image gets darker or starts to

deterioriate.

• In order to maintain the initial brightness and image quality, the lamp replacement message is displayed after about 1900 hours of use

has passed. The time at which this message is displayed will vary depending on the color mode settings and the conditions under which

this unit has been used.

• If you continue to use the lamp after this period, the possibility of the lamp breaking becomes greater. When the lamp replacement

message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.

• Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and on the way it has been used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before

the lamp warning message appears. You should always have a spare lamp ready in case it is needed (part # V13H010L33).

• Contact Epson for a spare lamp.

may fall down when the lamp cover is removed. If

cleaning the projector or replacing the lamp your-

self, be very careful not to allow such pieces of

glass to get into the eyes or mouth.

If the lamp breaks and gas from the lamp or frag-

ments of broken glass are inhaled or get into the

eyes or mouth, or if any other ill effects are

noticed, immediately seek medical advice.

• Consult your local, state, or federal regulations

regarding proper disposal of the lamp and do not

place in the trash.

• If there is an electrical storm, do not touch the power

plug; otherwise you may receive an electric shock.

• If using a remote control that takes batteries, keep

these batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries

are choking hazards and can be very dangerous if

swallowed.

hours before use. Do not use the lamp during this time.

Lamp

This product includes a lamp component that contains

mercury. Please consult your state and local regulations

regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in the trash.

MovieMate uses a mercury lamp with a high internal

pressure as its light source. Mercury lamps have the

following characteristics.

• Lamp brightness decreases once the rated lamp usage

time has passed.

• When the lamp reaches the end of its life, it may enter

a state where it will no longer light, or it may explode

with a loud noise due to impact, deterioration, or the

expiration of its usage time.

• Depending on the individual difference of each lamp

and the conditions of use, there is a considerable

difference in the time it takes for the lamp to reach the

end of its life. Make sure you have a replacement lamp

available.

• The potential for the lamp to explode increases once

the lamp usage time has been exceeded.

When the lamp replacement message appears,

promptly replace the lamp with a new one.

LCD panel

• Although the liquid crystal panel is made using very

precise high technology, you may see some black

pixels, or pixels that are always lit red, blue, or

green.You may also be able to see lines with irregular

brightness or color.

These are normal characteristics of liquid crystal

panels, and are not indicative of any malfunction. Be

aware of this fact.

What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”)

warrants to the original end user customer that the

Epson product enclosed with this limited warranty

statement, if purchased and used in the United States or

Canada, conforms to the manufacturer’s specifications

and will be free from defects in workmanship and

materials for a period of two (2) years from the date of

original purchase (except that the warranty period is 90

days for projector lamps). For warranty service, you

must provide proof of the date of original purchase.

What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: Should your

Epson projector require service during the warranty

period, Epson will, at its option, exchange or repair the

projector without charge for parts or labor. If Epson

authorizes an exchange for the defective unit, Epson

will ship a replacement projector to you, freight

prepaid, to an address in Canada or the U.S. (excluding

Puerto Rico and U.S. Possessions). Shipments to other

locations will be made freight collect. You are

responsible for securely packaging the defective unit

and returning it to Epson within five (5) working days

of receipt of the replacement. Epson requires a debit or

credit card number to secure the cost of the

replacement projector in the event that you fail to

return the defective one. If your projector is being

repaired by carry-in warranty service, please bring the

product securely packaged in its original container or

an equivalent to your Epson Dealer or Epson Customer

Care Center. Epson will, at its option, repair or replace

on an exchange basis the defective unit, without charge

for parts or labor. When warranty service involves the

exchange of the product or of a part, the item replaced

becomes Epson property. The exchanged product or

part may be new or previously repaired to the Epson

standard of quality, or, at Epson’s option, may be

another model of like kind and quality. Exchange or

replacement products assume the remaining warranty

period of the product covered by this limited warranty,

except that each replacement lamp carries the limited

90-day warranty stated above.

What This Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty

covers only normal use of the product in the United

States and Canada. 24-hour-per-day use of this product

causes unusual strain and is not considered normal use.

This warranty does not cover consumables (e.g., fuses),

other than lamps. This warranty does not apply to

refurbished or reconditioned products, and this

warranty is not transferable. Epson is not responsible

for warranty service should the Epson label or logo or

the rating label or serial number be removed or should

the product fail to be properly maintained or fail to

function properly as a result of misuse, abuse, improper

installation, neglect, improper shipping, damage

caused by disasters such as fire, flood, and lightning,

improper electrical current, software problems,

interaction with non-Epson products, or service other

than by an Epson Authorized Servicer. Postage,

insurance, or shipping costs incurred in presenting your

Epson product for carry-in warranty service are your

responsibility. If a claimed defect cannot be identified

or reproduced in service, you will be held responsible

for costs incurred.
