Safety Instructions 10
R41A0K180 User’s Guide
❏ Do not touch the components inside the viewer unless instructed to do so in the user
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 and contact our customer support.
❏ 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 viewer upright as it may fall over and be damaged.
❏ 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 explosion, do not use the viewer where flammable or volatile gas is stored.
❏ Do not use the viewer outdoors during a thunderstorm.
❏ Do not use the viewer after moving it between extreme temperatures, which may cause
condensation to form on electronic parts.
❏ 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.
When using the battery
Caution:
c
❏ 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.

Introduction
Main Features
With the viewer, you can easily save, view, and print images you have taken with a digital camera.
You can also play videos and music. The main features are described below.
❏ Photo Fine Premia is a high-resolution, wide color gamut (Adobe RGB) liquid crystal display
with a wide viewing angle. You can view images easily in high resolution anywhere, anytime
without a computer or other special device.
❏ You can play videos and music easily anywhere, anytime without a computer or other special
device.
❏ You can print images directly with PictBridge enabled printers.
❏ You can save photo, video, and audio data in the viewer.
Important Notice
The viewer uses the hard disk as its storage medium. Although designed to be resistant against
mechanical and electromagnetic shock, because of the hard disk’s characteristics, there is a danger
that data may be lost or the service life of the viewer may be adversely affected due to malfunction
caused by these factors. Make sure to handle the viewer in which your valuable image data is stored
with care, and store backup copies to your computer whenever possible.
Caution:
c
❏ Do not expose the viewer to any impact, doing so may cause malfunctions.
❏ Do NOT format the viewer’s hard disk drive from your computer, as this will render the viewer
inoperable. If this happens, test the format by following the procedure in "Formatting Data
in the Viewer" on page 97. If this does not fix the problem, you should contact an authorized
Epson service center. Repairs will be chargeable and are not covered by Epson’s warranties.
