Warning
Do not place containers with liquids, water or chemicals on top of the unit.
If the containers spill and the contents get inside the unit, fire or electric shock may result.
Never look into the unit lens when the lamp is switched on as the bright light can damage your eyes.
Never push metallic or flammable objects or any other foreign materials through the air intake or air
exhaust vents, fire or electric shock may result.
A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the unit’s light source. Be sure to observe the
instructions below.
If the following points are not observed, injury or poisoning may result.
• Do not damage the lamp or subject it to any impacts.
• The gases inside mercury lamps contain mercury vapor. If the lamp breaks, ventilate the room to prevent
the gases that are released from being inhaled or coming into contact with the eyes or mouth.
• Do not bring your face close to the unit while it is in use.
If the lamp breaks and gases or fragments of broken glass from the lamp are inhaled or get into the eyes or
mouth, or if any other ill effects are noticed, immediately seek medical advice.

Caution
Class 1 LASER Product
Do not open the top cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit.
Do not use the unit in places where there are lots of humidity or dust, near cooking or heating
appliances, or in places where it may come into contact with smoke or steam.
Do not use or store this unit outdoors for an extended length of time.
Fire or electric shock may result.
Do not block the slots and opening in the unit case. They provide ventilation and prevent the unit from
overheating.
• Material or paper may get stuck against the air filter underneath the unit while it is in use. Remove
anything from underneath the unit that might get stuck against the air filter. If setting up the unit near a
wall, leave a space of at least 20 cm between the wall and the air exhaust vent.
• Ensure there is at least 10 cm between the air intake vent and any walls, and so on.
• Do not place the unit on a sofa, rug, or other soft surface, or in a closed-in cabinet unless proper
ventilation is provided.
Do not place the unit on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
The unit might fall down or tip over, and injury may result.

The unit might collapse or fall down, and injury may result.
Do not place anything that can become warped or damaged by heat near the air exhaust vents, or
bring your hands or face close to the vents while projection is in progress.
Because hot air comes out from the air exhaust vents, it may result in burns, warping or other accidents.
Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use because it will be extremely hot. Before removing
the lamp, turn off the power supply and wait the duration specified in this guide to allow the lamp to
cool completely.
The heat may cause burns or other injuries.
Do not place the source of a naked flame, such as a lit candle, on or near the unit.
Unplug the unit when it will not be used for extended periods.
The insulation may deteriorate, which may result in fire.

Caution
Unplug the unit from the outlet before cleaning.
This avoids electric shock during cleaning.
When cleaning the unit, do not use wet cloths or solvents such as alcohol, thinner or benzine.
Water infiltration or deterioration and breakage of the unit case could result in electric shock.
Incorrect battery usage may cause leakage of battery fluid and battery rupture, which could result in
fire, injury or corrosion of the unit. When replacing batteries, take the following precautions.
• Insert batteries so that the polarities (+ and -) are correct.
• Do not use batteries of different types or mix old and new batteries.
• Do not use any batteries other than those specified in this guide.
• If the batteries leak, wipe away battery fluid with a soft cloth. If fluid gets on your hands, wash them
immediately.
• Replace the batteries as soon as they run out.
• Remove the batteries if you will not be using the unit for a long period of time.
• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame and do not put them in water.
• Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
• Keep these batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries are choking hazards and are very dangerous if
swallowed.

Use and Storage
Take note of the following advice in order to prevent malfunction and damage.
range of that which is covered in your warranty
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
standing on its end
While the projector is placed
with the top facing up
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
placed with the bottom up
• 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
While the projector is
tilted to either side
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
Transportation cautions
• 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.
