Various Projection Methods

Warning
A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
If you use adhesives, lubricants, or oil on ceiling mount fixing points to prevent 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 serious injury to anyone under the projector and also damage the projector.
Do not setup the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
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.
Attention
Clean the air filter once every three months. Clean it more often if the environment is particularly dusty.

Warnings Regarding Viewing 3D Images

Note the following important points when viewing 3D images.
Warning
Do not disassemble or remodel the 3D Glasses. This could cause a fire to occur or the images to appear abnormal when viewing, causing you to feel unwell.
Do not install the lithium coin batteries with their polarities (plus and minus) inversed. If the batteries are inversed by mistake, they could explode or leak, causing a fire, injury, or damage the surroundings. Follow the instructions to install the batteries correctly.
Do not leave the batteries or the supplied nose pad within reach of children. They could be accidentally swallowed. If anything is accidentally swallowed, contact a doctor immediately.
Caution
About the 3D Glasses
Do not drop or press too forcefully on the 3D Glasses. If the glass sections and so on are broken, an injury could occur. Store the glasses in the soft glasses case supplied.
Be careful of the edges of the frame when wearing the 3D Glasses. If it pokes your eye and so on, an injury could occur.
Do not place your finger in any of the moving sections (such as the hinges) of the 3D Glasses. Otherwise an injury could occur.
Caution
About Wearing 3D Glasses
Make sure you wear the 3D Glasses correctly. Do not wear the 3D Glasses upside down. If the image is not displayed correctly into the right and left eyes, it could cause you to feel unwell.
Do not wear the glasses unless you are viewing a 3D image.
How a 3D image is perceived varies depending on the individual. Stop using the 3D function if you feel strange or cannot see in 3D. Continuing to view the 3D images could cause you to feel unwell.
Stop wearing the 3D Glasses immediately if they seem abnormal or a malfunction occurs. Continuing to wear the 3D Glasses could cause an injury or cause you to feel unwell.
Stop wearing the 3D Glasses if your ears, nose, or temples become red, painful, or itchy. Continuing to wear the 3D Glasses could cause you to feel unwell.
Stop wearing the 3D Glasses if your skin feels unusual when wearing the glasses. In some very rare cases the paint or materials used in the 3D Glasses could cause an allergic reaction.
Caution
Viewing Time
When viewing 3D images, always take periodic breaks during extended viewing. Long periods of viewing 3D images may cause eye fatigue. The amount of time and frequency of such breaks varies from person to person. If your eyes still feel tired or uncomfortable even after taking a break from viewing, stop viewing immediately.
46
Useful Functions
Caution
Watching 3D Images
If your eyes feel fatigued or uncomfortable when viewing 3D images, stop viewing immediately. Continuing to view the 3D images could cause you to feel unwell.
When viewing 3D images be sure to always wear 3D Glasses. Do not attempt to view 3D images without 3D Glasses. Doing so could cause you to feel unwell.
Do not place any breakable or fragile objects around you when using 3D Glasses. 3D images may cause you to move your body involuntarily, resulting in damage to nearby items or personal injury.
Only wear 3D Glasses when viewing 3D images. Do not move around while wearing 3D Glasses. Your vision may appear darker than normal, causing you to fall or injure yourself.
Try to stay as level with the viewing screen as possible when viewing 3D images. Viewing 3D images at an angle reduces the 3D effect and may cause you to feel unwell due to unintended color changes.
If using 3D Glasses in a room with fluorescent or LED lighting, you may see flashing or flickering throughout the room. If this should occur, reduce the lighting until the flickering goes away or turn off the lights completely when viewing 3D images. In some very rare cases, this flickering could trigger seizures or fainting for some individuals. If you begin to feel uncomfortable or unwell at any time when viewing 3D images, stop immediately.
Stay at least three times the height of the screen away from the screen when viewing 3D images. The recommended viewing distance for an 80-inch screen is at least 3 meters, and at least 3.6 meters for a 100-inch screen. Sitting or standing any closer than the recommended viewing distance may result in eye fatigue.
Caution
Health Risks
You should not use 3D Glasses if you are sensitive to light, have a heart condition, or are unwell. Doing so could aggravate your pre-existing conditions.
Caution
Recommended Age of Use
The minimum recommended age to view 3D images is six years old.
Children under the age of six are still developing and viewing 3D images may cause complications. Consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
Children viewing 3D images through 3D Glasses should always be accompanied by an adult. It is often difficult to tell when a child is feeling tired or uncomfortable, which could result in them feeling suddenly unwell. Always check with your child to ensure that they are not experiencing any eye fatigue during viewing.

Cleaning the Parts

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.
Warning
Do not use sprays that contain flammable gas to remove dirt and dust from the projector's lens, air filter, and so on. The projector may catch fire due to the high internal temperature of the lamp.
Cleaning the air filter
Clean the air filter if dust has accumulated on the air filter or when the following message is displayed.
"The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent, and clean or replace the air filter."
Attention
If dust collects on the air filter, it can cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation and shorten the optical engine's service life. It is recommended that you clean the air filter at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.
Do not rinse the air filter in water. Do not use detergents or solvents.
Lightly brush the air filter to clean it. If it is brushed too strongly, dust will be ground into the air filter and cannot be removed.

e
the front side.
Cleaning the main unit
Clean the projector's surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.
If it is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the cloth dry before using it to wipe the surface.
Attention
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to clean the projector's surface. The quality of the case may change or the paint may peel off.
79
Maintenance
Cleaning the lens
Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses to gently wipe off dirt from the lens.
Manually open the lens shutter, and then wipe the lens inside.
Attention
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or handle the lens too roughly as it can easily become damaged.
Cleaning the 3D Glasses

Do not rub the lenses of the glasses with harsh materials or handle the lenses too roughly as they can easily become damaged.

Replacement Periods for Consumables

Air filter replacement period
If the message is displayed even though the air filter has been cleaneds p.78
Lamp replacement period
The following message is displayed when projection starts
"It is time to replace your lamp. Please contact your Epson projector reseller or visit www.epson.com to purchase."
The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
The lamp replacement message is set to appear after 4000 H in order to maintain the initial brightness
c
and quality of the projected images. The message display time changes depending on the usage situation, such as the color mode setting and so on. If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has passed, the possibility that the lamp may explode increases. When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.
Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and the way it has been used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before the lamp warning message appears. You should always have a spare lamp unit ready in case it is needed.
