1.1 Safety Precautions
To ensure safe and proper use of your projector, read these safety precautions
completely.
Warning:
If any of the following malfunctions occur, immediately shut off and
unplug the projector and consult your vendor or an Epson Service Center.
•Occurrence of smoking, odour, or abnormal noise
•Failure of projection or sound
•Penetration of unit by water or a foreign object
•Dropping of unit or other damage to the cabinet
Continued use may cause fire or electric shock.
Repairing the unit yourself is hazardous and should never be attempted.
Only trained service personnel should open the projector cabinet, and the
unit should never be disassembled or modified.
The cabinet contains many high voltage components which may cause fire,
electric shock, or other accidents.
Use only a voltage indicated on the unit itself.
Use of a non-designated voltage may cause fire or electric shock.
Check that the power cord specifications are correct.
A power cord which matches the specifications in the country of purchase is
included with the projector. If the projector is used in a different country from
the country of purchase, check the power supply voltage and the shape of the
wall outlet in the destination country beforehand, and make sure that you obtain
a proper power cord which matches the specifications for that country.
Do not use a damaged power cord.
Fire or electric shock may result.
Treat the power cord as follows.
•Do not modify the power cord.
•Do not place heavy objects on the power cord.
•Do not bend, twist, or pull the power cord severely.
•Do not run the power cord near heating equipment.
If the power cord becomes damaged, consult your vendor or an Epson Service
Center.
Warning: Improper operation that disregards this symbol may
result in serious injury or death.
Caution: Improper operation that disregards this symbol may
result in injury or damage to objects.

Improper handling may cause fire or electric shock.
Treat the power cord plug and connector as follows.
•Do not overload wiring.
•Do not insert a dusty or dirty plug or connector in an outlet.
•Insert firmly and completely.
•Do not pull out with wet hands.
•Do not use the cable to pull out the plug or connector. Always hold the plug
or connector itself.
The projector cabinet contains lenses, a lamp, and many other glass
components.
When handling any broken components, use care to avoid injury from
fragments, and consult your vendor or an Epson Service Center for repair.
Do not place breakable objects, containers of liquid, medicines, or similar
items on the unit.

automobile, area of direct sunlight, air conditioner or heater outlet, or
other high temperature location.
Heat may deform the unit or remote control or cause internal components to
malfunction, leading to fire.

Improper use of batteries may causebattery damage andleakage of liquid,
resulting in fire, injury, or corrosion of the unit. Observe the following
precautions to ensure safety.
•Do not mix batteries of different type or age.
•Use only batteries specified in the Instruction Manual.
•In case of battery leakage, wipe up the leakage with a cloth or other item and
insert fresh batteries.
•Exchange expired batteries promptly.
•Remove the batteries during extended periods of non-use.
•Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire or liquid.
•Insert the batteries with correct polarity (+, -).
•If any leakage contacts your hands or other areas, wash promptly with water.
Dispose of batteries in accordance with local collection procedures.
When maintaining the unit, disconnect the power cord at both ends.
Electric shock may result.
Cautions For Use
•Environments outside the temperature range for use (5°C to 35°C) may
cause irregular display, strain of the fan, and malfunction.
•Environments outside the temperature range for storage (-10°C to 60°C)
may cause malfunction and deformation of the cabinet. Take particular
care not to leave the projector for extended periods in locations exposed
to direct sunlight.
•Do not attempt projection with the lens cover in place. Heat may deform
the lens cover.
•The LCD panel is a product of extremely high-precision technology and
contains more than 99.99% functional pixels, but you should bear in
mind that less than 0.01% of the pixels are non-functioning or light
improperly.

1.3 Remote Control
Operating Range
The remote control may not operate beyond certain distances and angles from
the receiver on the projector. Observe the following conditions during use.
[Operating Distance : Approximately 10m (393.70inches) ]
[Operating Area:]
Horizontally
Vertically
Point:
• The remote control R/C On Off switch must be switched to "On" to use the remote
control.
• Point the remote control towards the remote control receiver on the projector unit.
• Certain screens may shorten the operating distance (approximately 10m
(393.70inches) ) of the remote control when the control is pointed towards the screen
to reflect its signal during use.
• Situate the remote control receiver out of direct sunlight, fluorescent light, and
similar light sources.
These may cause the remote control to malfunction.
• If the remote control malfunctions or stops operating, the batteries may need
changing.
Replace the batteries with a fresh set.
