Projector Placement
16
Install the projector on a table in your living room or on a low shelf to project
images.
Note the following points when selecting a projector location:
• Place the projector on a sturdy and level surface.
• If the image is tilted, rotate the front feet to adjust their height.
• 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 so it squarely faces the screen, not at an angle.
Page 17
Projector Placement
17
If you cannot install the projector squarely facing the screen, correct
a
any resulting keystone distortion using the button on the
remote control. For the best quality images, we recommend adjusting
the installation position of the projector to achieve the correct image
size and shape.
Warning
Do not install the projector in a location subject to high levels of dust or humidity,
or in a location subject to smoke or steam. Otherwise, it could cause a fire or
electric shock to occur.
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 use or store the projector in locations where it will be subject to dust or
dirt. Otherwise, the quality of the projected image may decline, or the air filter
may become clogged, resulting in a malfunction or 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.
• Do not install in locations where salt damage could occur, or in locations subject
to corrosive gas such as sulphuric gas from hot springs. Otherwise, corrosion
could cause the projector to fall. It could also cause the projector to malfunction.
Attention
• Make sure you do not operate the projector in the following positions.
• Do not operate the projector on its side.
• Do not project images straight up or straight down.
• Do not tilt the projector right or left.
• If you are using the projector at altitudes above 1,500 m, set the High AltitudeMode setting to On in the projector's menu to ensure the projector's internal
temperature is regulated properly.

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

• Some video equipment is capable of outputting different types of
signals. See your video equipment manual to confirm what type of
signals can be output.
• When sending 18 Gbps images such as 4K 60Hz 4:4:4, use an HDMI
cable (premium-high speed). If you use an incompatible cable,
images may not be displayed correctly.

• 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 a book or other
objects. If the light from the projector is blocked, the area on which the light

Projector Maintenance
You may need to clean the projection window and motion sensor periodically,
and clean the air filter and air vents to prevent the projector from overheating
due to blocked ventilation.
The only parts you should replace are the air filter and remote control
batteries. If any other part needs replacing, contact Epson or an authorized
Epson servicer.
Warning
Before cleaning any part of the projector, turn it off and unplug the power cord.
Never open any cover on the projector, except as specifically explained in this
manual. Dangerous electrical voltages in the projector can injure you severely.
71
Page 72
Cleaning the Projection Window
Clean the projection window periodically, or whenever you notice dust or
smudges on the surface.
• To remove dust or smudges, gently wipe the projection window with clean
and dry lens-cleaning paper.
• If the projection window is dusty, blow off dust using a blower, and then
wipe the projection window.
Warning
• Before cleaning the projection window, turn off the projector and unplug the
power cord.
• Do not use any flammable gas sprays such as air dusters to blow off dust. The
high heat generated by the projector may cause a fire.
Attention
• Do not wipe the projection window right after you turn off the projector.
Doing so could damage the projection window.
• Do not use any harsh materials to clean the projection window and do not
subject the projection window to any impacts; otherwise, it could be damaged.
72
Page 73
Cleaning the Motion Sensor
Clean the projector's motion sensor periodically, or if you see a message
telling you to remove any obstacles that are interfering with the projection
area. To remove dust or smudges, gently wipe the sensors with lens-cleaning
paper.
73
Warning
Do not use a lens cleaner that contains flammable gas to clean the motion sensor.
The high heat generated by the projector may cause a fire.
Attention
Do not use glass cleaner or any harsh materials to clean the sensors and do not
subject the sensors to any impacts. Damage to the surface of the sensors may cause
malfunctions.
Page 74
Cleaning the Projector Case
Before cleaning the projector case, turn off the projector and unplug the
power cord.
• To remove dust or dirt, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
• To remove stubborn dirt, use a soft cloth moistened with water and mild
soap. Do not spray liquid directly on the projector.
Attention
Do not use wax, alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other chemicals to clean the
projector case. These can damage the case. Do not use canned air, or the gases
may leave a flammable residue.
74
Page 75
Air Filter and Air Intake Vent Maintenance
75
Regular filter maintenance is important to maintain your projector. Clean the
air filter when a message appears telling you the temperature inside the
projector has reached a high level. It is recommended that you clean these
parts over a 12,000 hour period. Clean them more often than this if you use
the projector in an environment that is dustier than expected. (Assuming the
projector is used in an atmosphere in which airborne particulate matter is less
than 0.04 to 0.2 mg/m3.)
Attention
If regular maintenance is not performed, your Epson projector will notify you
when the temperature inside the projector has reached a high level. Do not wait
until this warning appears to maintain your projector filter as prolonged exposure
to high temperatures may reduce the life of your projector.
