Safety Warning and Cautions

Warning

 Do not cover the projector'sair intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of the

vents is covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.

 Make sure you secure the following space around the projector so as not to

block the air intake vent and air exhaust vent.

500mm

 When setting up multiple projectors, make sure there is a gap of at least 200

mm between the projectors. Also, make sure that the heat from the air exhaust vent does not go into the air intake vent.

200mm

 When installing the projector with the air intake vent facing down, make sure

there is a gap of at least 100 mm between the projector and the floor and so on. Make sure there is a space of 800 x 350 mm for the base so that the air intake vent is not blocked.

Caution

Do not place the projector on an unstable surface, such as on an unstable table or tilted surface. Install the projector appropriately to prevent the projector from falling. Otherwise it may cause an injury.

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.270

 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.

Safety Warning and Cautions

Attention

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

Contact a specialist 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.

 Note the following points when installing a projector directly on top of

another. This projector can be installed on top of another projector that has the carrying handles attached to the top.

- Do not stack three or more projectors (you can stack up to two projectors).

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

- Do not remove the feet on the bottom of the projector.

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

 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 and Air Intake Vent" p.216

 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.

Safety Warning and Cautions

Cautions on Lifting

Caution

 Use the four eye bolts installed on the same surface of the projector to lift

it.

 Only use the eye bolts when temporarily transporting the projector and not

for permanent installation. The projector could be damaged or could malfunction.

 Do not lift the projector with the front/back/side of the projector facing

up.

 Make sure that the angle when lifting is 60 degrees or more.

Attention

When attaching directly to the projector

Use four commercially available eye bolts M8 (ankle length 11 to 16 mm) and attach them to the four screw holes for eye bolts.

When attaching to the handle

Use four commercially available eye bolts M10 (ankle length 11 mm or more) and attach them to the four screw holes for eye bolts on the handle.

Safety Warning and Cautions

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, 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. You can also use the projector's Shutter function to prevent the LCD panel from being damaged by laser light.

 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.

 If you continue to project while the surface of the lens is dirty, projection

quality deteriorates. Make sure you clean the lens. s "Cleaning the Lens" p.216

 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 smoky environments such as at events and so

on, make sure you replace the air filter after approximately 240 hours of use. (This is a guideline when using the projector in an environment with an atmospheric concentration of ondina oil of approximately 0.000000013%. The air filter replacement time may be shorter depending on the operating environment.) Using the projector in a smoky environment may cause the filter's dust collection function to decline and dust may adhere to the inside of the projector or the power supply; this may cause a malfunction to occur.

s "Replacing the Air Filter" p.221

Page 8

Safety Warning and Cautions

 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.

- If you project a still image or an image that does not move much for a long time, the image may remain as an afterimage. This is due to the properties of the LCD panel and is not a malfunction. You need to run Refresh Mode to solve this issue.

s Reset - Refresh Mode p.163

 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 operation time and decline in brightness in Brightness Settings.

s "Relationship between Brightness Level and light source operation time" p.76

 About light source calibration

-When Run Periodically is set to On for 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 differences in the White Balance and the Brightness Level for the light source are corrected.

Turning On the Projector

Before turning on the projector, connect your computer or video equipment to the projector.

"Connecting Equipment" p.48

Attention

Install the current breaker for 13 A to 20 A to the wiring in the building that supplies electricity to the projector. Do not connect other devices to the wiring where the current breaker is installed, and use the wiring only for the projector.

Connect the projector to the power outlet using the power cord, and then attach the cable holder.

You can use the 100 V power cord to operate the projector

Turn on the main power switch to supply power to the projector.

temporarily to determine the installation location. When projecting using the 100 V power cord, the brightness of the projected image is approximately 30% compared to when using a 200 V power cord. Use the 200 V power cord when adjusting the projected image or the lens.

You cannot use the following functions with the 100 V power cord.

 Light Source Mode  Estimated Remains  Refresh Mode  Light Source Calibration

Warning

 There are two types of power cord supplied with the projector, 100 V

and 200 V, depending on your country or region. The power cord you need to use may differ depending on your operating environment. Contact a specialist to provide information on handling the power cord.

The projector's power indicator turns blue (it is in standby mode). This indicates that the projector is receiving power, but is not yet turned on.

Press the [ ] button on the control panel or remote control to turn on the projector.

The confirmation buzzer beeps and the status indicator flashes blue as the projector warms up. Once the projector is warmed up, the status indicator stops flashing and turns blue.

Turning On the Projector

If the image is not projected, try the following.

 Turn on the connected computer or video equipment.  When using a laptop computer, change the screen output of the

computer.

 Insert media such as a DVD and play it back.  Press the [Search] button on the remote control to detect the input

source.

 Press the button for the input source that you want to project by using

the remote control.

Warning

 Do not look into the projector's lens during projection. Doing so may

damage your eyes. Be especially careful if children are present.

 During projection, do not block the light from the projector with a book and

so on. If the light from the projector is blocked for a long time, 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.

 If Direct Power On is set to On in the Extended menu, the

projector automatically turns on when power is supplied to it. When the power cord is plugged in, note that the projector turns on automatically in cases such as recovery from a power outage.

you are not using it. The light source's operating life varies depending on the Configuration menu settings, environmental conditions, and usage conditions. The brightness of the projected image drops as projection time elapses.

 The projector can be powered off directly by the breaker because it

supports the direct shutdown function.

 When the projector is used continuously for more than 24 hours, or

when direct shutdown is used regularly, set Light Source Calibration using the scheduling function to adjust the light source periodically. You can also make settings from the Configuration menu.
