Playing Music
You can transfer audio files from your computer and play
them on the viewer. You can create playlists using the Epson
Link2 software on your computer, or using the viewer itself.
This chapter describes how to transfer and play music, and
how to manage your audio files on the viewer.
Copying Music From Your Computer
First, make sure you have installed the Epson Link2
software, following the instructions in your P-6000/P-7000 Basics guide.
If you want to copy files from a music CD, you first need to
convert the files to MP3 or M4A format using a CD
copying software on your computer. You can also use this
software to change the song and artist names displayed on
the playlist if necessary.
WMA and WAV files are automatically converted to M4A
when they are transferred. You can specify conversion
settings if necessary; see “Setting Backup and Conversion
Preferences” on page 47 for instructions.
1 Connect the AC adapter to the viewer and plug it in.
2 Turn on the viewer and your computer.
3 Use the included USB cable to connect the viewer to
your computer.

them playable. Always keep backup copies of your songs,
and never transfer your only copies to the viewer.

Safety Instructions
Read all these instructions before using the viewer, and keep
this guide handy for later reference. Follow all warnings and
instructions marked on the viewer and any options.
Using the Viewer
Caution:
Do not drop the viewer or expose it to any impact to avoid
damaging the internal hard disk and losing stored files. Do not
format the hard disk from your computer or the viewer will be
unusable.
Epson is not responsible for backing up or recovering data. It is
strongly recommended that you make your own backup files.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on this
❍
product.
❍ Use only AC adapter model A351H and lithium-ion
battery model D111A with this product.
❍ When connecting the viewer to a computer or other
device with a cable, ensure the correct orientation of the
connectors. Each connector has only one correct
orientation. Inserting a connector in the wrong
orientation may damage both devices connected by the
cable.
❍ Do not insert objects into the slots or openings on the
viewer.
❍ Do not touch the components inside the viewer unless
instructed to do so in the documentation. Never force
the viewer’s components into place. Although the viewer
is designed to be sturdy, rough handling can damage it.
❍ Never spill liquid onto the viewer.
❍ If the viewer emits unusual noises, odors, or smoke,
cancel the current operation and turn it off immediately.
Remove the battery and disconnect the AC adapter from
the viewer, then unplug the AC adapter from the power
outlet. Contact Epson.
❍ Do not use your headphones for long periods at high
volume as this can cause permanent hearing loss.
❍ Do not use your headphones while operating a vehicle
or performing an activity that requires attention to
external sound. When wearing your headphones, we
strongly recommend setting the volume so that you can
hear your normal speaking voice.
❍ Do not stand the device upright as it may fall over and
be damaged.
❍ Do not use the viewer after moving it between extreme
temperatures, which may cause condensation to form on
electronic parts.
Notices and Specifications 82
❍ If you use the viewer in places where the use of
electronic devices is limited, such as in airplanes or
hospitals, follow all instructions in those places.
❍ Do not use the viewer outdoors during a thunderstorm.
❍ To prevent fire or electric shock, do not cover the viewer
with a blanket or other covering that may give off a
static electric shock.
❍ To prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose the
viewer or its options to rain or moisture.
❍ To prevent fire or explosion, do not use the viewer where
flammable or volatile gas is stored.
Using the Battery
Caution:
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by the
incorrect type. Use the specified new batteries only. Dispose of
used batteries according to the instructions.
❍ If battery acid gets into your eyes or on your skin,
immediately rinse the affected area thoroughly with
water and seek medical treatment. If a battery is
swallowed, seek medical treatment immediately.
❍ Use only an Epson lithium-ion battery for the viewer
according to the instructions in this manual.
❍ Use only AC adapter model A351H and the viewer
(Model G961A/G961B) to charge batteries.

❍ Do not charge the battery near open flame or in very hot
locations.
❍ Keep batteries away from heat sources.
❍ Do not leave the battery in a vehicle to prevent the
battery from overheating.
❍ Do not insert objects into any openings as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short-circuit
components.
Notices and Specifications 83
❍ Prevent the battery from coming into contact with
metal objects that could short-circuit it, such as coins or
keys.
❍ Do not insert the battery into power outlets or other
power sources such as car cigarette lighter sockets.
❍ Do not solder wires or terminals directly to the battery.
❍ Do not touch battery terminals.
❍ Keep batteries away from open flame if they leak or
smell strange.
❍ If overheating, discoloration, or distortion occur,
remove the battery from the viewer and do not use it.

for a long period.
Storing the Battery
Disposing of the Battery
