Projection Distance

The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the

image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen, but can vary depending on

the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings.

Use the tables here to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on

the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.) You can also

use the Projection Distance Calculator here (U.S.), here (Canada), or here (Caribbean).

Maintaining and Transporting the Projector

Follow the instructions in these sections to maintain your projector and transport it from place to place.

Projector Maintenance

Projector Maintenance

Your projector needs little maintenance to keep working at its best.

You may need to clean the lens 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, 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.

Cleaning the Lens

Clean the projector's lens periodically, or whenever you notice dust or smudges on the surface.

• To remove dust or smudges, gently wipe the lens with lens-cleaning paper.

158

• To remove stubborn smudges, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the

lens. Do not spray any liquid directly on the lens.

Warning: Do not use a lens cleaner that contains flammable gas. The high heat generated by the

projector lamp may cause a fire.

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.
