Otherwise it may cause an injury.

Safety Warning and Cautions

Attention

•Do not install the projector in a location that is subject to vibration or shock.

•Do not install the projector near a high-voltage line or object that generates magnetism. Otherwise the projector may not work correctly.

•Do not use or store the projector in a location that is subject to extreme temperatures. Also, avoid sudden temperature changes.

Make sure you use or store the projector in a place that is within the operating or storage temperature ranges.

s "Projector General Specifications" p.219

• Do not install the projector in direct sunlight.

If the projector is in direct sunlight, the internal temperature increases, which could cause parts such as the surface of the projection lens or the built-in camera to deteriorate.

•When installing the projector in an environment in which a high-powered laser beam is being used, make sure it is installed so that the laser beam does

not hit the surface of the projection lens.

•When using at an altitude that exceeds 1,500 m, set High Altitude Mode to

On.

s Extended - Operation - High Altitude Mode p.125

•You may need dedicated installation mounts to tilt and install the projector.

Contact a professional and prepare the mount.

-Plan so that the mount does not fall.

-Make sure the mount is strong enough to support the projector.

-When attaching a mount to the projector, secure the mount with bolts using the handle securing section (6 points) on the top or base of the projector.

4

Attention

•Note the following points when installing a projector directly on top of another.

-Do not stack three or more projectors.

-Install the feet in the indentations on the top at the four corners.

-Do not install the handle on the top of the projector installed underneath another projector.

•Except for the projector's parts, do not place anything on the projector.

Safety Warning and Cautions		5

a• The projector can be installed at any angle. There is no vertical or horizontal limit to how the projector can be installed.

•We recommend setting the focus, zoom, and lens shift at least 20 minutes after you start the projection, because images are not stable

right after turning on the projector.

•When using a projector with an air filter on the ceiling side, the air filter will become clogged frequently. Clean the air filter regularly. s "Cleaning the Air Filter" p.175

•You can install the projector in a portrait orientation by attaching

the carrying handles to the top and bottom of the projector.

•You can remove the feet from the projector and attach them to the carrying handle.

Warning and Cautions on Usage

Warning

• Do not cover the projector's air intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of the vents is covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.

• Do not look into the lens while projecting. The powerful light emitted could cause damage to eyesight. Take particular care when there are children present. When turning on the projector at a distance using the remote control, make sure there is no one looking into the lens.

•During projection, do not block the light from the projector with the lens cover (removable) or a book and so on.

If the light from the projector is blocked, the area on which the light shines becomes hot which could cause it to melt, burn, or start a fire. Also, the lens may get hot due to the reflected light which could cause the projector to malfunction. To stop projection, use the Shutter function, or turn off the projector.

•Do not open the projector's case. Never disassemble or remodel the projector. There are high-voltage components inside the projector that could cause fire, electric shock, or an accident.

•If an error occurs, turn off the power immediately, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, and contact your local dealer or the nearest address provided in the Epson Projector Contact List. If you continue using the projector as it is, it could cause an electric shock, fire, or even damage to eyesight.

s Epson Projector Contact List

Caution

Do not place objects that may become warped or otherwise affected by heat near the air exhaust vent and do not put your face or hands near the vent while projection is in progress.

Safety Warning and Cautions

Attention

•When you purchase the projector, a protective cap is installed in the lens unit installation section. Install the protective cap when you are not using the projector. If dust or dirt enter the projector, projection quality deteriorates and it could cause a malfunction.

•When a high-powered laser beams through the surface of the projection lens or the built-in camera, it can cause a malfunction. If the laser beams through the surface of the projection lens or the built-in camera, block the laser beam with non-permeable or incombustible aluminum foil or metal plates such as

iron to protect the projection lens and the built-in camera.

• Try not to touch the lens section with your hand or fingers. If fingerprints or oils are left on the surface of the lens, projection quality deteriorates.

• Store the projector with the protective cap installed. If the projector is stored without the protective cap, dust and dirt may get inside the projector and cause malfunctions or lower the quality of projection.

•When storing, make sure you remove the batteries from the remote control. If the batteries are left in the remote control for an extended period of time, they may leak.

•When using the projector in smokey environments such as at events and so on, make sure you replace the air filter within 24 hours.

a	• About the LCD panel
	- The LCD panel may contain pixels that are missing or appear bright all
	the time. This is not a sign of an error.
	- When a high-powered laser beams through the surface of the projection
	lens, it can cause a malfunction in the LCD panel. If the laser can beam
	through the surface of the projection lens, block the laser beam with
	non-permeable or incombustible aluminum foil or metal plates such as
	iron to protect the projection lens.
	• About the light source
	The projector uses a laser as the light source. The laser has the
	following characteristics.
	- Depending on the surroundings, the brightness of the light source may
	decline. The brightness declines a lot when the temperature gets too
	high.
	- The brightness of the light source declines the longer it is used. You can
	change the relationship between usage time and decline in brightness in
	Brightness Settings.
	s "Relationship between Brightness Level and usage time" p.69
	• About light source calibration
	- Every time the usage time reaches 100 hours, calibration starts
	automatically for the light source when the projector is turned off.
	However, light source calibration does not start automatically in the
	following situations.
	• Within	20 minutes of turning on the projector
	• When	using the Shutter function
	• Within	20 minutes of releasing the Shutter function

•When the projector is used continuously for over 24 hours

•When using direct shutdown
