Projector Placement

You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.

Note the following points when selecting a projector location:

• Place the projector on a sturdy and level surface.

• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or next to anything that could block the vents.

• Place the projector parallel to the screen.

Warning

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

• Do not install the projector on an unstable surface or in a location beyond the weight specifications of the projector. Otherwise, it could fall or topple causing an accident and injury.

• When installing the projector in a high position, take measures to prevent falling by using wires to ensure safety in an emergency, such as an earthquake, and to prevent accidents. If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.

Attention

• Do not operate the projector on its side. This may cause the projector to malfunction.

• If you are using the projector at altitudes above 1500 m, set the High Altitude Mode setting to On in the projector's Extended menu to ensure the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly.

s Extended > Operation > High Altitude Mode

• Try not to setup the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to smoke from fires or tobacco smoke.

If you cannot install the projector parallel to the screen, correct keystone distortion using the projector controls.

Projector Connections

You can connect the projector to a variety of computer, video, and audio sources to display presentations, movies, or other images, with or without sound.

Attention

Check the shape and orientation of the connectors on any cable you plan to connect. Do not force a connector into a port if it does not fit. The device or your projector could be damaged or could malfunction.

• Connect a computer that has a USB port, standard video output (monitor) port, or HDMI port.

• For video projection, connect devices such as DVD players, gaming consoles, digital cameras, and smartphones with compatible video output ports.

• If your presentation or video includes sound, you can connect audio input cables.

• For slide shows or presentations without a computer, you can connect USB devices (such as a flash drive or camera).

Connecting to a Computer

Follow the instructions in these sections to connect a computer to the projector.

Projector Connections

Tighten the screws on the VGA connector.

Connect the audio cable to your laptop's headphone or audio-out jack,

or your desktop's speaker or audio-out port.

Connect the other end to the projector's Audio 1 port.

Connecting to a Computer for USB Video and Audio

If your computer meets the system requirements, you can send video and audio output to the projector through the computer's USB port. This function is called USB Display. Connect the projector to your computer using a USB cable.

• If you use a USB hub, the connection may not operate correctly.

Connect the USB cable directly to the projector.

Connect the cable to your projector's USB-B port.

Connect the other end to any available USB port on your computer.

Connecting to a Computer for HDMI Video and Audio

If your computer has an HDMI port, you can connect it to the projector using an HDMI cable and send the computer's audio with the projected image.

• Windows: Click All Programs > EPSON Projector > Epson USB Display > Epson USB Display Ver.x.xx.

• Mac: Double-click the USB Display icon in the Application folder.

• When you finish projection, do one of the following:

• Windows: Disconnect the USB cable. You do not need to operate Safely Remove Hardware.

• Mac: Select Disconnect from the USB Display icon menu on the menu bar or Dock, and then disconnect the USB cable.

To connect a Mac that does not have an HDMI port, you need an adapter that allows you to connect to the projector's HDMI port. Contact Apple for compatible adapter options. Older Mac computers (2009 and earlier) may not support audio through the HDMI port.

Connect the other end to the projector's HDMI port.

If you have problems hearing audio through the HDMI connection,

Warning

Attention

Make sure you read the Safety Instructions before handling the batteries.

Remove the battery cover as shown.

Insert the batteries with the + and – ends facing as shown.

Check the positions of the (+) and (–) marks inside the battery holder to ensure the batteries are inserted the correct way. If the batteries are not used correctly, they could explode or leak causing a fire, injury, or damage to the product.

Replace the battery cover and press it down until it clicks into place.

Remote Control Operation

The remote control lets you control the projector from almost anywhere in the room.

Make sure that you aim the remote control at the projector's receivers within the distance and angles listed here.

Avoid using the remote control in conditions with bright fluorescent lights or in direct sunlight, or the projector may not respond to commands. If you are not going to use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.

Projector Security Features

You can secure your projector to deter theft or prevent unintended use by setting up the following security features:

• Password security to prevent people who do not know the password from using the projector, and prevent changes to the startup screen and other settings.

This acts as an anti-theft function as the projector cannot be used even if it is stolen, and you can limit who can use the projector.

• Button lock security to block operation of the projector using the buttons on the control panel.

This is useful at events or shows when you want to deactivate all buttons during projection or at schools when you want to limit button operation.

• Security cabling to physically secure the projector in place.
