Safety Instructions

Warning and Cautions on Installation

An optional ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling.

"Optional Accessories" p.198

Warning

• Do not use or install the projector where it may be subject to water or rain, or high humidity, such as outdoors, in a bathroom, or shower room, and so on. Otherwise, it could cause a fire or electric shock.

• 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 local dealer or the nearest address provided in the Epson Projector Contact List. s Epson Projector Contact List

• When installing the projector on the ceiling, make sure you take measures to prevent it from falling such as passing a wire through the handles.

• 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 an accident or injury to anyone under the ceiling mount. 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 is covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.

• 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.

Safety Warning and Cautions

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.

• When using the power cord in an area where the power-supply voltage is less than 120 V, make sure that the power is supplied from an outlet with more than 15 A.

• Do not share the outlet that you are using for the projector with other devices.

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 following operating or storage temperature ranges.

- Operating temperature range: 0 to +50˚C

- Storage temperature range: -10 to +60˚C (No condensation)

* At an altitude of 0 to 1,499 m, the operating temperature is 0 to

+50˚C when Power Consumption is set to ECO or Temp Interlock, and 0 to +45˚C when it is set to Normal. At an altitude of 0 to 1,500 m, the operating temperature is 0 to +45˚C when Power Consumption is set to ECO or Temp Interlock, and 0 to +40˚C when it is set to Normal.

• When using at an altitude of 1,500 m or more, set High Altitude Mode to On. s Extended - Operation - High Altitude Mode p.122

(No condensation)

Caution

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

Safety Warning and Cautions

Attention

• When projecting with the projector tilted, do not tilt it at more than the specified angle. This may cause malfunctions or accidents to occur.

Angle of tilt (when a standard lamp is attached)

Do not use the projector upside down. Using the projector at angles not shown in the illustrations above may

damage it or cause an accident. For the operating conditions when attaching the lamp unit (for portrait use),

see the following. s "Notes on portrait projection" p.6

• Once installation is complete, make sure you set the Direction. Otherwise the lamp's operating life may be reduced significantly. s "Setting the direction" p.30

• Using the projector at an improper angle or setting the Configuration menu incorrectly causes malfunctions and shortens the operating life of optical parts.

Attention

• Make sure there is a gap at least as wide as shown in the following illustration between the wall and the air exhaust vent and the air intake vent.

Air exhaust vent Air intake vent

• When setting up multiple projectors, make sure there is a gap at least as wide as shown in the following illustration between the projectors. Also, make sure that the heat from the air exhaust vent does not go into the air intake vent.

• Do not place the projector directly on top of another projector.

Safety Warning and Cautions

Attention

• When installing the projector on a surface other than the floor, use the four ceiling mount fixing points to secure the projector. Never detach the handles. If you use the projector without handles, it may cause a malfunction.

• When installing the projector on the ceiling, remove the feet and attach the supplied foot covers.

• The feet can be attached and removed. Note that the feet will detach if they are extended more than 10 mm.

After removing the feet, make sure you attach the supplied foot covers.

• Do not use the screw holes for the feet to secure the projector or attach other screws, and so on. Otherwise malfunctions may occur.

• 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 adjusting the vertical lens shift, adjust by moving the image from the bottom to the top. If it is adjusted from the top to the bottom, the image position may move down slightly after adjusting.

Notes on portrait projection

An optional frame is required for portrait projection.

"Optional Accessories" p.198

Attention

• When performing portrait projection, attach lamp units (for portrait use) on both Lamp 1 and Lamp 2. If dedicated lamps are not used, the projector does not cool down correctly, and it may cause a malfunction. s "Optional Accessories" p.198

• Make sure you install the projector with the air intake vent facing down. If the air intake vent is facing up, the projector does not cool down correctly, and it may cause a malfunction.

Angle of tilt

Using the projector at angles not shown in the illustrations above may damage it or cause an accident.

• Make sure that you install the projector with the air intake vent facing down and that there is a gap at least as wide as shown in the following illustration between the projector and the floor and so on.

Safety Warning and Cautions

• You cannot rotate the display direction for the menu, message, and so on.

• When performing portrait projection, you do not need to set the Direction.

• Power Consumption is disabled. s Settings - Power Consumption p.121

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.

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

• Do not repeatedly turn off the power and immediately back on. Turning the power on and off frequently may shorten the lamp's operating life.

• Only remove the lens unit when necessary. If dust or dirt enters the projector, projection quality deteriorates or it could cause a malfunction.

• 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 lens unit attached. If the projector is stored without the lens unit, dust and dirt may get inside the projector and cause malfunctions or lower the quality of projection.

• Do not store the projector with the front side facing up.

• 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.

Safety Warning and Cautions

Notes on Transporting

There are many glass parts and precision components inside the projector. To prevent damage due to impacts when transporting, handle the projector as follows.

Caution

The projector should not be carried by one person. Two people are needed to unpack or carry the projector.

Attention

• When Moving Nearby

- Turn off the power to the projector and disconnect all cables.

- Attach the cover to the lens.

• When Transporting After checking the points in "When Moving Nearby", prepare the following and then pack up the projector.

- Retract the feet for storing.

- Remove the lens unit if an optional lens, other than the standard zoom lens, is attached.

Attach the standard zoom lens if the projector has a built-in lens. If the projector does not have a lens, attach the cover that was on the lens mount when you purchased the projector.

- The vertical and horizontal lens shifts are positioned in the center.

- Enclose the projector securely in packaging material to protect it from shock, and place it into a strong cardboard container. Be sure to notify the carrier company that it is precision equipment.

Useful Functions

This section describes the Multi-Projection, Split Screen, Memory, Schedule, and Security functions.

Multi-Projection Function

When projecting to a wide screen from multiple projectors, you can adjust the difference of brightness and color tone between each projected image to create a seamless screen.

There are two general methods of projecting from multiple projectors.

U Projecting different images from each projector, and creating a seamless screen

V Projecting the same image from each projector, using the Scale function to

project a large image

• 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.

• Set Lamp Select to Dual. Extended - Lamp Select p.122

• If the values for Geometric Correction are large, the image position

adjustment for overlapping images becomes difficult.

• The Test Pattern can be displayed to adjust the projection status

without connecting video equipment. s "Displaying a Test Pattern" p.34

• If you project a dot by dot image that can be projected without

being enlarged or reduced, you can make adjustments precisely.
