3.1 Connecting to a Computer

Computers which can be connected

Some computer models may not allow connection, and others may allow connection but not projection. Make sure that the specifications of the computer you are using for connection meet the following two requirements.

[The computer must have a video signal output port]

Make sure that the computer has a port that outputs a video signal. A port that outputs a video signal is called an "RGB port", "monitor port", or "video port" or the like. Consult the section de scribing "connecti on to an external mo nitor" or th e like in the instruction manual for the computer that you are using, and make sure that the computer has a video signal output port. Computers w ith an integrated moni tor and other c omponents as well as notebook personal computers may require separate purchase of an external output port. In other cases, an external output port cannot be attached.

[The resolution and fre quency of the compute r must be withi n the range of specifications shown on the following page]

The resolution and frequency of the video signal output by your computer must be compatible with your projector in order to allow projection (some computers allow partial projection, but clear projection cannot be obtained). Check the resolution and frequency of the video signal in the instruction manual of the computer you are using for projection.

Compatible Mode Chart for Connectable Computers

If the resolution and frequency of the video signals which are output from the computer do not corres pond to a ny of t he valu es in t he tabl e belo w, tho se vide o signals cannot be projected. (In some cases it may be possible to project such signals, but they will not produce clear images.) Check the instructi on manual for the computer fo r de tails on the resoluti on a nd frequency of the video signals.

Furthermore, some computers may let you change the output resolution. If this is the case, change the resolution to a value in the table below.

7.1 Projector Cleaning, Lens Replacement, Air Intake Vent Cleaning

Clean your projector when it is dirty or image projection is poor. Clean the air intake vent every 100 hours in practice.

Warning:

• No one but trained service personnel should open the projector cabinet. The projector contains several high voltage components which can cause electric shock. For internal repairs, maintenance, and cleaning, take your projector to your vendor or an Epson Service Center.

• Use care when handling the power plug and connector. Improper handling may cause fire or electric shock. When handling the plug, observe the following.

· Do not insert a plug or connector into an outlet or terminal if it is dirty or holds

foreign matter.

· Insert the plug and connector firmly and completely.

· Do not pull out the plug or connector with wet hands.

Caution:

• Never attempt to remove the lamp immediately after use.

Switch off power to the projector and disconnect the power cord before cleaning.

Cleaning the Projector Unit

•Wipe dirt from the projector lightly with a soft cloth.

•For heavier dirt, wipe the projector lightly with a cloth soaked in a weak solution of mild detergent and wrung out thoroughly, t hen dry with a separate cloth. Do not use waxes, benzene , thinners, or other volat il e substances. These may degrade the cabinet or strip the finish.

Cleaning the Lens

Clean the lens with a commercial blo wer or lens cleaning paper. Th e surface of the lens is easily scratched and should not be rubbed or struck with hard objects.

Cleaning the Air Intake Vents

Accumulated dust in the air intake vents degrades ventilation, increases the interior temperature, and can cause malfunction. To prevent debris from enter ing the a ir int ake vent s, al ways stand the projector upright with the lens upward. Then use a vacuum cleane r or other equipment to suck dust from the vents.

Point:

If it is no longer possible to remove the di rt from the ai r intake ve nt, it is ti me to replace it. Consult your vendor.
