the Transport and Installation Handbook supplied.
• Do not place flammable objects in front of the lens. If you set the schedule to
turn on the projector automatically, any flammable objects placed in front of
the lens could cause a fire.
• Do not tie the power cord and other connection cables together. Otherwise, it
could cause a fire.
• Only use the specified power-supply voltage. Otherwise, it could cause a fire
or electric shock.
Warning
• Be careful when handling the power cord. Otherwise, it could cause a fire or
electric shock. Note the following when handling the power cord.
- Do not plug multiple power cords in a single electric outlet.
- Do not plug in the power cord if there are any foreign substances, such
as dust, stuck to it.
- Make sure you insert the power cord all the way in.
- Do not plug in or unplug the power cord with wet hands.
- Do not pull the cord when unplugging the power cord. Make sure you
hold it by the plug.
• Do not use a damaged power cord. Otherwise, it could cause a fire or electric
shock. Note the following when handling the power cord.
- Do not alter the power cord.
- Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord.
- Do not bend, twist, or pull the power cord forcibly.
- Do not layout the power cord near a heating device.
Caution

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.
Extended - Operation - High Altitude Mode p.125
s
• 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.
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.
Page 5
Safety Warning and Cautions

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.
"Cleaning the Air Filter" p.175
s
• 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.

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.
s "Replacing the Air Filter" p.179
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
- When performing light source calibration, the difference between the
white balance and the brightness level for the light source is corrected.
