If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the batteries are becoming flat. When this happens, replace them with new batteries. Have two AA size alkaline or manganese batteries ready. You cannot use other batteries except for the AA size alkaline or manganese.
Attention
Make sure you read the following manual before handling the batteries. s Safety Instructions

Installing the Projector |

The projector can be mounted on a ceiling or placed on a desk. Also, it can be mounted at a tilted angle, so you can flexibly project images to various places.
Warning
•A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If installation work is not carried out correctly, the projector could fall down. This may result in injury or accidents.
Contact your dealer or the nearest address provided in the Support and Service Guide if you want to use this installation method. s Epson Projector Contact List
•If you use adhesives on the Ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the 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 ceiling mount and could damage the projector.
When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so on.
•Do not cover the projector's air intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.
a• An optional ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling.
