Installing
Various Projection Methods
Warning
•A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If
it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
•If you use adhesives, lubricants, or oil on the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent screws from loosening,
or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall
from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the projector and also damage the
projector.
•Do not setup the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
•Try not to setup the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to smoke
from fires or tobacco smoke.
Attention
Clean the air filter once every three months. Clean it more often if the environment is particularly dusty.

Connecting a Device
Attention
•Make cable connections before connecting to a power outlet.
•Check the shape of the cable's connector and the shape of the port, and then connect. If you force a connector
of a different shape into the port, it could cause damage and a malfunction to occur.
Connecting Video Equipment
To project images from DVD players or VHS video and so on, connect to the projector using one of the
following methods.
When using an HDMI cable
When using a video cable
c
•The cable differs depending on the output signal from the connected video equipment.
•Some types of video equipment are capable of outputting different types of signals. Check the user's
guide supplied with the video equipment to confirm which signals can be output.
Connecting a Computer
To project images from a computer, connect the computer using one of the following methods.
When using a computer cable
When using an HDMI cable

Preparing
18
Connecting External Devices
Connecting smartphones or tablets
You can connect MHL compatible smartphones or tablets.
Use an MHL compatible cable to connect the micro USB port of smartphones and tablets to the HDMI1 port
on the projector.
You can also view video and listen to music while charging a smartphone or tablet.
Attention
•Be sure to use an MHL compatible cable for making connections. During charging, the smartphone or tablet
could generate heat, cause a liquid leak, explode or generate other conditions that could result in a fire.
•When a connection is made using an MHL-HDMI conversion adapter, it may not be possible to charge or
control the device from the remote control.
c
•Some devices use more power during video playback than what is supplied and will therefore not
enable charging during video playback or other operations.
•This projector will not charge devices in standby mode or when the battery in a smartphone or tablet
is depleted.
Connecting USB devices
You can connect USB devices such as USB memories, and USB compatible digital cameras.
Using the USB cable supplied with the USB device, connect the USB device to the USB (TypeA) port on the
projector.
When the USB device is connected, you can project image files on the USB memory or digital camera as a
slideshow.
s p.43
When you have finished projecting, remove USB devices from the projector. For devices with a power switch,
make sure you turn them off before disconnecting the USB device.
Attention
•If you use a USB hub, the connection may not operate correctly. Devices such as digital cameras and USB
devices should be connected to the projector directly.
•Connect a digital camera using a USB cable specified for use with the device.
•Use a USB cable less than 3 m in length. If the cable exceeds 3 m, slideshow may not function correctly.

Preparing
19
Installing Wireless LAN Unit
Install an optional Wireless LAN Unit (ELPAP07) to use the wireless LAN function.
Insert the Wireless LAN Unit in the USB (TypeA) port.
You will need to download the following application to make projection using wireless LAN. For details,
consult the download site.
•Projecting a computer screen over a wireless connection
EasyMP Network Projection allows you to project a computer screen via a network.
Download EasyMP Network Projection from the following Web site.
http://www.epson.com
•Projecting video from a portable device via a network
By installing "Epson iProjection" on your smartphone or tablet you can project data on the device wirelessly. This
allows you to view images from a smartphone or tablet.
You can download "Epson iProjection" free of charge from App Store or Google Play. Any fees incurred when
communicating with the App Store or Google Play are the responsibility of the customer.
c
•When the Wireless LAN Unit is left in the projector, set Wireless LAN Power to Off when it is not in
use. This allows you to prevent unauthorized access by third parties. sp.53
•Use the security setting for Epson iProjection or EasyMP Network Projection in Quick mode. sp.54
Installing the Wire Lock
A commercially available theft-prevention wire lock can be passed through the installation point to secure
the projector to a desk or pillar.
See the documentation supplied with the wire lock for locking instructions.
