Maintaining and Transporting the Projector 75
Replacing the Lamp
The projection lamp typically lasts for about 2000 hours of use
(in high brightness mode) or 3000 hours (in low brightness mode). It
is time to replace the lamp when:
■ The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
■ The lamp light is flashing orange.
■ The message Replace the Lamp appears on the screen when the
lamp comes on. To maintain projector brightness and image
quality, replace the lamp as soon as possible.
Contact your dealer or call Epson at (800) 873-7766 in the United
States for a replacement lamp. Request part number V13H010L34.
In Canada, please call (800) 463-7766 to locate a dealer.
Follow these steps to replace the lamp:
1. Press the P Power button twice to turn off the projector. When
you hear the projector beep twice, unplug the power cord.
2. If the projector has been on, allow it to cool down for at least an
hour (or until the lamp is cool).
3. Use the screwdriver included with the replacement lamp to loosen
the screw holding the lamp cover (the lamp cover is located on top
of the projector).
4. Slide the cover out, then lift it off.
note
You can check to see how
many hours the lamp has
been used. See page 62.
Turn the projector off when
not in use. Continuous
24-hour-a-day use may
reduce the overall life of this
product.
warning
Let the lamp cool before
replacing it. If the lamp
breaks, handle the shards
carefully to avoid injury.
