Epson PowerLite S3 Projector Like the A/V Mute feature, if you are projecting a video, the video and audio continue while the projected image is paused, so when you press the Freeze button again to resume, the playback does not resume where you stopped it. Projector Status Lights If your projector isn't working correctly, first turn it off, wait for it to cool, and unplug it. Then plug the power cord back in and turn on the projector. If this doesn't solve the problem, check the lights on top of the projector. They alert you to problems with projector operations. Power light Error lights Light Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Status off orange flashing green green flashing orange red red red red off red Description and action The projector is unplugged. If you want to turn it on, make sure the power cable is connected securely at both ends, then press the Power button to turn on the projector. The projector is in sleep (or standby) mode. You can unplug it to turn it off or press the Power button to turn it on. The projector is warming up. Warming up takes about 30 seconds (the EPSON logo appears after approximately 5 seconds). When warming up is complete, the indicator changes to steady green. The projector is operating normally. The projector lamp is off and the projector is cooling down. Wait until the light stops flashing. (The cool-down period lasts about 20 seconds.) Then, if you want to turn it off, unplug it. If you want to turn it on, press the Power button. (You can't turn the projector on, and you should never unplug it, when the light is flashing orange.) The projector has an internal error. Stop using the projector, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet, and contact Epson. The projector has a fan related error or sensor error. Stop using the projector, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet, and contact Epson. Light Power Power Power Power Status red off red red red off red off orange on or off orange off Description and action The projector has an internal temperature error (overheating). The lamp turns off automatically and projection stops. Wait for 5 minutes, then check the following: make sure the air filter and air exhaust vent are clear and that the projector is not positioned against a wall. If the air filters are blocked, clean or replace them. After checking, press the Power button to turn the power back on. If this does not solve the problem, stop using the projector, disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet, and contact Epson. There is a lamp timer failure or the lamp is out. Take out the lamp and check if it is broken. If the lamp is not broken, put it back in and then turn the power on. If the lamp still does not turn on, replace it with a new lamp. If this does not solve the problem, stop using the projector and disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet. Then contact Epson. If the lamp is broken, replace it with a new lamp. If replacing the lamp yourself, be careful to avoid pieces of broken glass. Check that the lamp and the lamp cover are securely installed. If not, the lamp will not turn on. High-speed cooling is in progress. This is normal, but if the temperature rises too high again, projection will stop. Check that the air filters and air exhaust vent are clear and that they are not up against a surface such as a wall. If the air filters are clogged, clean or replace them. The lamp needs to be replaced. Replace the lamp with a new one. If you continue to use the lamp after it has passed the replacement period, the possibility that the lamp may break will increase. Replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible. The Power indicator status will vary depending on the projector status at the time. Using the Remote Control The remote control uses a line-of-sight infrared signal. It lets you access the projector's features from anywhere in the room- up to 20 feet away. (This distance may be shorter if the remote control batteries are low.) The projector may not respond to remote control commands in these conditions: ❏ You are too far away-not within 20 feet (6 meters)-or not within 30° to the left or right of the front or rear sensor or 15° above or below it ❏ The battery is weak or not installed correctly ❏ Ambient light is too bright ❏ A fluorescent light is shining into the infrared receiver 3/05 Epson PowerLite S3 Projector - 9
