This symbol indicates information that, if ignored, could possibly result in personal injury or physical damage due to incorrect handling.

Warning

Do not leave the document camera or the remote control with batteries inside a vehicle with the windows closed, in places where they will be exposed to direct sunlight, or
in other places that may become extremely hot. Thermal damage, fire, or malfunction may occur.

Do not use or store the document camera outdoors for an extended length of time, or where it may be exposed to rain, water, or excessive humidity. Fire or electric shock
may result.

Do not use the document camera in places where smoke from cigarettes may be present, where it will be exposed to greasy smoke, humidity, or steam (such as cooking
areas or near humidifiers), or where there is a lot of heat or dust. This can adversely affect the quality of the projected images.

Caution

Do not set up the document camera near high-voltage electrical wires or sources of magnetic fields. This may interfere with correct operation.

Operate in the proper environmental conditions. s p.80

Do not place or store the unit where it is accessible to small children. The unit may drop or tip over, causing personal injury.

Do not place the document camera where it will be subject to a lot of vibration or shock.

Electrical Precautions

Warning

Never open any covers on the document camera except as specifically explained in this User's Guide. Never attempt to disassemble or modify the document camera. Refer
all repairs to qualified service technicians.

Unplug the document camera from the outlet and refer all repairs to qualified service technicians under the following conditions:

• If smoke, strange odors, or strange noises come from the device

• If liquid or foreign objects get inside the device

• If the device has been dropped or the housing has been damaged

Continuing to use under these conditions may result in fire or electric shock.

Do not attempt to use any adapter other than the AC adapter and power cord included with the device. Using an improper adapter may cause damage, overheating, fire, or
electric shock.

Be sure to use the AC adapter with the proper voltage indicated in this guide. Use of a different power source may result in fire or electric shock.

If the AC adapter, power cord, or document camera is damaged, turn the power off, unplug the AC adapter from the electrical outlet, and contact your local distributor.
Using the damaged device may cause fire or electric shock.

Do not touch the device, the AC adapter, or the plug with wet hands. This may cause electric shock.

Do not use the power cable that is damaged. Fire or electric shock may result.

• Do not modify the power cable.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the power cable.

• Do not bend, twist or pull the power cable excessively.

• Keep the power cable away from hot electrical appliances.

Take the following precautions when handling the plug. Failure to comply with these precautions could result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not overload wall outlets, extension cables, or power strips.

• Do not insert the plug into a dusty outlet.

• Insert the plug firmly into the outlet.

• Do not pull the power cable when disconnecting the plug; always be sure to hold the plug when disconnecting it.

Do not touch the plug during an electrical storm. Otherwise, you may receive an electric shock.

Caution

Turn off the document camera and unplug it after use.

Make sure the power is turned off, the plug is disconnected from the outlet, and all cables are disconnected before moving the document camera.

Installation Precautions

Warning

If you apply adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use lubricants or oils on the document camera, the document camera housing may crack. This could
cause serious injury. Do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants.

Caution

Do not place the document camera in an unstable location, such as on a shaky table or slanted surface. The document camera may drop or tip over, causing personal
injury. If you use a table, cart, or stand, make sure it is stable and will not fall over.

When using the mounting points under the document camera to secure it to a table, cart, or stand, fasten the bolts securely but do not overtighten them. Do not use
adhesives.

Do not place the document camera in a poorly ventilated place where heat can accumulate.

Do not place the document camera on a carpet, blanket, etc. or cover it during use.

Cleaning Precautions

Warning

Use a dry cloth (or, for stubborn stains, a moist cloth that has been wrung dry) for cleaning. Do not use liquid, aerosol cleaners, or solvents such as alcohol, thinner or
benzine.

Do not place any containers of liquid on top of or near the unit.

Do not spill liquid or spray fine mist into the document camera. Liquids entering the document camera may cause malfunction, fire, or electric shock. If you spilled liquid,
turn the power off, unplug the AC adapter from the electrical outlet, and contact your local distributor. Using the damaged device may cause fire or electric shock.

Do not insert or drop metal, flammable, or foreign objects into the document camera's vents or openings nor leave them nearby. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock,
or burns.

Caution

Unplug the AC adapter from the outlet before cleaning to prevent electric shock.

Usage Precautions

Caution

Do not look into the lens when the LED illumination lamp is on. The bright light can damage your eyes.

Do not use excessive force when adjusting the document camera. The document camera may be broken, resulting in personal injury.

Do not place heavy objects on document camera, or it may be damaged.

Do not try to press the arm flat or fold it backwards, or it may get damaged.

Battery Precautions

Warning

Incorrect battery usage may cause batteries to rupture and leak battery fluid, which could result in fire, injury, or corrosion of the remote control.

If liquid from a battery gets in your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Wash them well with clean water and contact a doctor immediately. If liquid enters your mouth, rinse
immediately with plenty of water and consult a doctor. If liquid from the battery comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water to prevent possible skin
damage.

Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries are a choking hazard and are very dangerous if swallowed.

Prepare two replacement manganese or alkaline AA batteries. Do not use any other kinds of batteries.

Insert batteries so that the polarities (+ and -) are correct. Not doing so may cause leakage, overheating, or explosion.

Do not use a new battery and an old battery, or different types of batteries at the same time. Doing so may cause leakage, overheating, or explosion.

Remove the batteries if you will not be using the remote control for a long period of time. When a battery runs down, take it out of the remote control immediately. If a
discharged battery is left inside for a long time, gas emitted from the battery may cause leakage, overheating, explosion, or damage to the remote control.

Do not heat batteries or put them into fire or water.

When you throw away the batteries, follow your area’s regulations regarding disposal or recycling.

Memory Card Precautions

Caution

We recommend backing up data on the document camera's internal memory, your USB drive, or SD card to another media. Data may be lost or damaged under the
following conditions.

• If the power cable is disconnected from the document camera while recording or exporting data

• If the SD card or USB drive is removed from the document camera while recording or exporting data

• If it is subjected to static electricity or electrical noise

• If it is used incorrectly

• If a malfunction occurs or if the device needs to be repaired

• If damage occurs due to a natural disaster

In addition to the situations mentioned above, Epson shall not be responsible for the loss of any data or damage to data even during a warranty period.

Problems and Solutions

Problems Using an SD Card

Certain images don't appear

If you use your computer to copy images to the document camera's internal
memory or an SD card, you need to make sure their format is correct:

• Images must be DCF-compliant JPEG files to be displayed, such as
from a digital camera. Avoid editing your images, as this may change
their format and prevent them from being displayed.

• Images must be named using the format ABCD1234.JPG, where ABCD
is any combination of upper- or lowercase letters and 1234 is any
combination of numbers. For example: Pict0001, Pict0002, etc.

• Images must be placed in a folder named DCIM\123ABCDE, where 123
is any combination of numbers and ABCDE is any combination of
upper- or lowercase letters. If this folder structure doesn't exist, first
create a folder named DCIM, then create a folder within it with the
desired name (for example, 100EPSON).

Image files don't have the correct time stamp

The document camera does not have a built-in clock. Therefore, when you
view captured image files from your computer, they won't show the actual
time they were created.

Problems Using a USB Drive

FCC Compliance Statement

83

For United States Users

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio
and television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WARNING

For Canadian Users

The connection of a non-shielded equipment interface cable to this
equipment will invalidate the FCC Certification of this device and may
cause interference levels which exceed the limits established by the FCC for
this equipment. It is the responsibility of the user to obtain and use a
shielded equipment interface cable with this device. If this equipment has
more than one interface connector, do not leave cables connected to unused
interfaces. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
