Type of security

When the optional wireless LAN unit is installed and being used in Advanced connection mode, it is strongly recommended that you set security. Select one of the following security methods.

• WEP

Data is encrypted with a code key (WEP key). This mechanism prevents communication unless the encryption keys for the access point and the projector match.

List of Functions

• WPA

This is an encryption standard that improves security which is a weak point of WEP. Although there are multiple kinds of WPA encryption methods, this projector uses TKIP and AES.

WPA also includes user authentication functions. WPA authentication provides two methods: using an authentication server, or authenticating between a computer and an access point without using a server. This projector supports the latter method, without a server.

Maintenance

This chapter provides information on maintenance procedures to ensure the best level of performance from the projector for a long time to come.

Cleaning

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.

Attention

Turn off the projector's power before cleaning.

Cleaning the Projector's Surface

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

If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector's surface.

Attention

Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to clean the projector's surface. The quality of the case may change or become discolored.

Attention

Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.

Cleaning the Air Filter

Clean the air filter and the air intake vent when the following message is displayed.

"The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent, and clean or replace the air filter."

Attention

• Dust collecting on the air filter may cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, leading to a malfunction or early deterioration of optical parts. Clean the air filter immediately when the message is displayed.

• Do not rinse the air filter in water. Do not use detergents or solvents.

Cleaning the Lens

Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses to gently wipe the lens.

Warning

Do not use sprays that contain flammable gas to remove dirt and dust from the lens. The projector may catch fire because of the high temperature of the lamp inside the projector.

Cleaning

• If a message is frequently displayed, even after cleaning, it is time to replace the air filter. Replace it with a new air filter.

s "Replacing the Air Filter" p.99

• It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.

Replacing Consumables

This section explains how to replace the lamp and the air filter.

Replacing the Lamp

Lamp replacement period

It is time to replace the lamp when:

• The following message is displayed. "It is time to replace your lamp. Please contact your Epson projector

reseller or visit www.epson.com to purchase."

The message is displayed for 30 seconds.

• The lamp indicator flashes orange.

Attention

• The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following time periods in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the projected images.

EB-435W/EB-430

When Power Consumption is set to Normal: About 3900 hours When Power Consumption is set to ECO: About 5900 hours

EB-425W/EB-420

When Power Consumption is set to Normal: About 4900 hours When Power Consumption is set to ECO: About 5900 hours s Settings - Power Consumption p.63

• If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has passed, the possibility that the lamp may blow increases. When the lamp replacement message is displayed, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.

• Do not repeatedly turn off the power and immediately back on. Turning the power on and off frequently may shorten the lamp's operating life.

• Depending on the individual characteristics of the lamp and the way it has been used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before the message is displayed. You should always have a spare lamp unit ready in case it is needed.

• The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.

How to replace the lamp

The lamp can be replaced even when the projector is suspended from a wall or ceiling.

Replacing Consumables

Warning

• When replacing the lamp because it has stopped working, there is a possibility that the lamp may be cracked.When replacing the lamp of a projector that has been installed on a wall or ceiling, assume that the lamp is cracked and stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath it. Also, remove the lamp cover gently.

• Never disassemble or modify a lamp. If a modified or disassembled lamp is installed in the projector and used, it could cause a fire, electric shock, or an accident.

Caution

Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before removing the lamp cover. If the lamp is still hot, burns or other injuries may result. It takes approximately one hour after the power has been turned off for the lamp to sufficiently cool down.

After you turn off the projector's power and the confirmation buzzer beeps twice, disconnect the power cable.

Wait until the lamp has sufficiently cooled down, and then remove the lamp cover at the top of the projector.

Loosen the lamp cover fixing screw with the screwdriver supplied with the new lamp unit or a Phillips (+) screwdriver. Then slide the lamp cover straight forward and lift to remove it.

Loosen the two lamp fixing screws.

Replacing Consumables

Remove the old lamp by pulling the handle.

If the lamp is cracked, replace it with a new lamp, or contact your local dealer for further advice.

Epson Projector Contact List

Install the new lamp.

Insert the new lamp along the guide rail in the correct direction so that it fits in place, push in firmly, and once it is fully inserted tighten the two screws.

Replacing Consumables

Attention

• Make sure you install the lamp securely. If the lamp cover is removed, the power turns off automatically as a safety precaution. If the lamp or the lamp cover is not installed correctly, the power does not turn on.

• This product includes a lamp component that contains mercury (Hg). Please consult your local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not dispose of it with normal waste.

Resetting the lamp hours

The projector records how long the lamp is on and a message and indicator notify you when it is time to replace the lamp. After replacing the lamp, make sure you reset the lamp hours from the Configuration menu.

"Reset Menu" p.75

Attach the lamp cover.

Only reset the lamp hours after the lamp has been replaced. Otherwise,

the lamp replacement period will not be indicated correctly.

Replacing the Air Filter

Air filter replacement period

If the message is displayed frequently even though the air filter has been cleaned, replace the air filter.
