Maintaining and Transporting the Projector
Follow the instructions in these sections to maintain your projector and transport it from place to place.
Projector Maintenance
Your projector needs little maintenance to keep working at its best.
You may need to clean the projection window and obstacle sensor periodically, and clean the air filter and air vents to prevent the projector from overheating due to blocked ventilation.
The only parts you should replace are the lamp, air filter, pen batteries and tips, and remote control batteries. If any other part needs replacing, contact Epson or an authorized Epson servicer.
Warning: Before cleaning any part of the projector, turn it off and unplug the power cord. Never open any cover on the projector, except as specifically explained in this manual. Dangerous electrical voltages in the projector can injure you severely.
Warning: Do not try to service this product yourself, except as specifically explained in this manual.
Refer all other servicing to qualified servicers.

Air Filter and Vent Maintenance
Regular filter maintenance is important to maintaining your projector. Your Epson projector is designed with an easily accessible, user-replaceable filter to protect your projector and make regular maintenance simple. Filter maintenance intervals will depend on the environment.
If regular maintenance is not performed, your Epson projector will notify you when the temperature inside the projector has reached a high level. Do not wait until this warning appears to maintain your projector filter as prolonged exposure to high temperatures may reduce the life of your projector or lamp.
Damage due to the failure to properly maintain the projector or its filter may not be covered by the projector or lamp Limited Warranties.
