Selecting a Location
Select a suitable location for your TV and follow all of its safety instructions to ensure it
operates effectively and safely, as described in these sections:
• “Important Safety Instructions” below
• “Outdoor Antenna Installation and Grounding” on page 10
• “Suggested Supports or Stands” on page 11
Important Safety Instructions
Selecting a Suitable Environment for the TV
• The TV is very heavy. Two people are required to lift or move the TV to avoid injury.
• Do not place the TV on an unstable or tilted cart, stand, or table. Place the TV on the
center of the stand, making sure it is fully supported on all sides.
• Do not place the TV near water or sources of heat.
• Do not place the TV in direct sunlight, such as in front of a window.
Setting Up the TV 7
Note
To CATV system installers:
Article 820-40 of the NEC
provides guidelines for
proper grounding and
specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected
to the grounding system of
the building, as close to the
point of cable entry as
practical.
• Do not place the TV in an area subject to vibration.
• Do not place the TV or the remote control on top of or near heat-producing equipment
or in a hot location.
• Do not operate the TV in an area with high temperatures or humidity, or where large
amounts of dust are present.
• Leave at least 12 inches (30 cm) of room around the vents on the sides of the TV and do
not block the vents. They provide ventilation and prevent the TV from overheating.
• Do not use the TV in temperatures outside of the range of 41 to 95 °F (5 to 35 °C).
• Do not store the TV in temperatures outside the range of 14 to 140 °F (–10 to 60 °C).
• If you place the TV in a permanent installation near a wall, secure the TV to the wall
using screws and steel wire connected to the two screw holes on the top rear of the TV.
Plugging the TV Into an Electrical Outlet
• Use only the type of power source indicated on the TV. If you are not sure of the power
available, consult your dealer or power company.
• Place the TV near a wall outlet where the power cord can be easily unplugged.
• Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles. This
can cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug (two blades, with one wider than
the other). Connect the plug only to a compatible outlet where you can fully insert the
plug to prevent exposure of the plug blades. If you are unable to insert the plug fully, try
reversing the plug. If the provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the outlet.
• Do not place the TV where the power cord can be walked on. This may result in fraying
or damage to the plug.
• Take the following precautions when plugging in the TV. Failure to comply with these
precautions could result in sparks, fire, or electric shock: Do not insert the plug into an
outlet with dust present. Do not insert the plug with wet hands. Insert the plug firmly
into the outlet.
• Unplug the TV during lightning storms or when it will not be used for extended periods.
• Unplug the TV from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Pull on the plug housing to unplug the power cord; do not pull on the cord.
8 Setting Up the TV
Operating the TV Safely
• Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service this product
yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltages or other hazards.
• Unplug the TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified personnel under the
following conditions:
• When the power cord is damaged or frayed, or if it becomes hot.
• When liquid has been spilled into the TV or if it has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the TV does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions, or if
it exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
• If the TV has been dropped or the housing has been damaged.
• Do not stand on the TV or place heavy objects on top of it.
• Do not block the slots and openings in the TV case.
• Never push objects of any kind through the cabinet slots.
• Never insert an object other than a digital photo card in the card slots, or an object other
than paper or an ink cassette into the printer. Do not use sharp tools to remove a card
from a slot or you may damage the slot and card.
• Use only the ink cassette and paper specified for use in the Epson Livingstation printer
(part number V13H151010).
• Never spill liquid of any kind into the TV.
• Do not move or lift the TV by moving or lifting the stand or table supporting it; the TV
may fall and cause injury.
Replacing the Projection Lamp Safely
• Never touch the projection lamp immediately after turning off the TV or you could be
burned.Wait at least 30 minutes after turning off the TV to let the lamp cool down
completely.
• If the lamp has broken, handle the shards carefully to avoid injury.
• The used lamp contains mercury. Please consult your state and local regulations regarding
disposal or recycling. Do not put the lamp in the trash.
• Install the new lamp securely to avoid an electrical short or other damage. Insert the lamp
as described on page 97, pushing it all the way into its slot. Tighten the screws to lock the
lamp securely into place or the lamp will not come on.
• Do not touch the glass on the lamp with your bare hands. This can shorten the lamp life
and obscure the projected image. Use a cloth or glove to handle the new lamp.
• Do not drop the replacement lamp or bump it against any surface; the lamp could be
permanently damaged.

Outdoor Antenna Installation and Grounding
• It is best to have a professional technician install an antenna on the roof of a structure.
If you install an antenna yourself, be careful to avoid serious injury.
• If an outside antenna is connected through other equipment, be sure the antenna system
is grounded so as to provide protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
In the U.S.A., section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information on proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the
lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrode, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
Example of Antenna Grounding in National Electrical Code Instructions

Antenna lead in wire
Antenna discharge unit
(NEC Section 810-20)
Grounding conductors

Power service grounding electrode system
(NEC ART 250, Part H)
(NEC Section 810-21)
• An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines/
electric lights or power circuits, or where it can fall onto such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outdoor antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep it from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
• For added protection during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna.
This will prevent damage due to lightning and power-line surges.
