Replacing the Lamp The projection lamp typically lasts for about 2000 hours of use. (If you use Theatre Black color mode almost exclusively, the lamp lasts about 3000 hours.) It is time to replace the lamp when: ❏ The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate. ❏ The warning light on top of the projector flashes red at 0.5-second intervals. ❏ The message Replace the lamp appears on the screen when you start projecting. To maintain projector brightness and image quality, replace the lamp as soon as possible after you see the message. Request replacement lamp part number V13H010L2H. Note: To view the number of hours your lamp has been used, check the Info menu. Warning: Be very careful when removing the lamp. Let the lamp cool before replacing it. If the lamp breaks, handle the shards carefully to avoid injury. In the unlikely event that the bulb has ruptured, small glass fragments may be present and should be removed with caution. If your projector is mounted on the ceiling, you should unmount it. This will make it easier for you to replace the lamp and minimize the chance of any small glass fragments dropping from the projector. 10 - EPSON PowerLite Home 10 Projector 7/03
