Use and Storage

Take note of the following advice in order to prevent malfunction and damage.

Notes on handling and storage

•Be sure to observe the operating temperatures and storage temperatures given in this guide when using and storing the projector.

•Do not set up the unit in places where it might be subjected to vibration or shock.

•Do not install the unit close to television, radio or video equipment that generates magnetic fields.

This may adversely affect the audio and images of this unit, and may cause a malfunction. In the event that such symptoms occur, move the unit further away from any television, radio and video equipment.

•Do not operate the projector under any of the following conditions. If this is not observed, problems with operation or accidents may result.

While the projector is	While the projector is placed
standing on its end	with the top facing up

range of that which is covered in your warranty terms.

•You can store the unit in an upright position compactly on a shelf, etc., as it has storage feet on its side. When storing the unit in an upright position, place it on a stable surface with the storage feet at the bottom. Be sure to place the unit in the storage case supplied with the unit so that no dust enters the air intake vent.

Condensation

If you move this unit from a cold place into a warm room, or, if the room in which this unit is installed is heated rapidly, condensation (moisture) may form internally or on the lens surface. If condensation forms, it may not only cause incorrect operation such as weakening of the image, but also damage the disc and/ or parts. In order to prevent against condensation, setup this unit in the room approximately one hour before it is to be used. If by some chance condensation does form, disconnect the power cable from the outlet, then wait one to two hours before use.

While the projector is	While the projector is
placed with the bottom up	tilted to either side

•Do not move this unit during playback.

This may damage the disc or cause malfunction.

•Avoid using or storing this unit in cigarette or other smoke filled places, or in rooms containing a large amount of dust.

This may cause degradation of the image quality.

•Do not touch the projection lens with your bare hands.

If fingerprints or marks are left on the face of the lens, the image will not be projected clearly. When the unit is not in use, be sure to attach the lens cover.

•EPSON will not be held responsible for damage arising from projector or lamp failure outside the

Lamp

A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the unit’s light source.

The characteristics of the mercury lamp are:

•The intensity of the lamp decreases with use.

•When the lamp reaches the end of its life, it will no longer light or may break with a loud noise.

•The life of the lamp may vary greatly depending on the individual lamp characteristics and the operating environment. You should always have a spare lamp ready in case it is needed.

•Once the lamp replacement period has elapsed, the possibility of lamp breakage incrcases. When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible.

•This product includes a lamp component that contains mercury (Hg). Please consult your local regulations regarding disposal or recycling.

Do not dispose of it with normal waste.

LCD panel

•The LCD panel is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology.

However, black dots may appear on the panel, or some red, blue or green dots may light up extremely brightly at times. Furthermore, sometimes striped color irregularities or brightness irregularities may also appear. They are caused by the characteristics of the LCD panel, and are not a sign of malfunction.

•Screen burn may remain in the projected image when a high-contrast still image is projected for more than 15 minutes.

If screen burn has occured, you should project a bright screen (if a computer is used: white screen, video: as bright an animation as possible) until the screen burn disappears. It takes approx. 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the extent of the screen burn. If the screen burn does not disappear, contact your dealer for advice. sp. 76

When moving this unit

•Close the lens cover.

•Eject the disc.

•Retract the unit feet if extended.

•Carry the unit by holding the handle as shown in the following illustration.
