Setting Up the Projector

Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.

Projector Placement

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

You can also install the projector in a ceiling mount if you want to use it in a fixed location.

Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:

• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.

• Place the projector parallel to the screen.

• 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.

• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

Projection Distance

The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen, but can vary depending on the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings.

Use the tables here to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.) You can also use the Projection Distance Calculator here (U.S.), here (Canada), or here (Caribbean).

Cleaning the Lens

Clean the projector's lens periodically, or whenever you notice dust or smudges on the surface. Make sure you unplug the projector before cleaning the lens.

Page 81

• To remove dust or smudges, gently wipe the lens with a cloth meant for cleaning glasses and lenses.

• To remove stubborn smudges, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens. Do not spray any liquid directly on the lens.

Warning: Do not use a lens cleaner that contains flammable gas. The high heat generated by the projector lamp may cause a fire.

Caution: Do not use glass cleaner or any harsh materials to clean the lens and do not subject the lens to any impacts; you may damage it. Do not use canned air, or the gases may leave a residue. Avoid touching the lens with your bare hands to prevent fingerprints on or damage to the lens surface.

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.

Caution: Do not use wax, alcohol, benzine, 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.

Air Filter and Vent Maintenance

Regular filter maintenance is important to maintaining your projector. Your Epson projector is designed with an easily accessible, user-replaceable filter to protect your projector and make regular maintenance simple. Filter maintenance intervals will depend on the environment.

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 or lamp.

Damage due to the failure to properly maintain the projector or its filter may not be covered by the projector or lamp Limited Warranties.

Projector Lamp Maintenance

The projector keeps track of the number of hours the lamp is used and displays this information in the projector's menu system.

Replace the lamp as soon as possible when the following occurs:

• The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate

• A message appears when you turn on the projector telling you to replace the lamp

• The projector's Lamp light is flashing orange and its power light is flashing blue

Caution: If you continue to use the lamp after the above conditions occur, 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. You should always have a spare lamp unit ready in case it is needed.

Page 88

Note: We recommend the use of genuine Epson replacement lamps. The use of non-genuine lamps

may affect projection quality and safety. Any damage or malfunction caused by the use of non-genuine lamps may not be covered by Epson's warranty.
