Frequently Asked Questions - EMP-S3 EPSON

How to turn on the EMP-S3 projector?
Press the (Power) button on the control panel or remote control. If Direct Power ON is enabled, the device turns on as soon as the power cord is plugged in.
No image is displayed, what should I do?
Check that the source is properly connected and turned on. For a computer, change the output source (e.g., Fn + F4). For video equipment, start playback and press Source Search.
How to replace the projector lamp?
Turn off the projector and unplug the cord. Wait for the lamp to cool. Open the lamp compartment, remove the old lamp and install the new one (model ELPLP20). Replace the cover and reset the lamp counter in the menu.
What does the flashing orange indicator mean?
A flashing orange indicator indicates warming up or cooling down. Wait a few moments. If it stays solid orange, the projector is in standby mode. If the red indicator flashes, it indicates a lamp or fan problem.
How to clean the air filter?
Turn off the projector and unplug it. Remove the air filter and vacuum the dust. If very dirty, wash it with lukewarm water and let it dry completely before reinstalling. Replace the filter every 6 months.
