must be observed to avoid damage to your equipment.

Notes

contain important information and useful tips on the operation of the viewer.

Important Safety Instructions

When using the viewer

Caution:

c

❏ Do not drop or apply any shock to the viewer. Take care when carrying it, as strong shocks

may damage the internal hard disk drive and cause data to be lost.

❏ Epson is not responsible for backing up or recovering data. We recommend that you make

your own backup files.

❏ Do not insert objects into the slots or openings on the viewer.

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 electric shock, do not expose the viewer or its accessories to rain or moisture.

❏ 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.

❏ If charging is not complete after 11 hours or more (when charging with the main unit while

the power is off), stop charging. If you notice any problems during charging such as a high
temperature or bad smell, stop charging immediately.

❏ 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.

local power company or contact our customer support.

Safety Instructions 13

R41A0K180 User’s Guide

❏ Make sure the total amperage of all devices plugged into the power outlet does not exceed the

power outlet’s ampere rating.

❏ Do not connect the AC adapter when the battery is not installed. Otherwise, the viewer may be

damaged.

amp circuit breaker to provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current protection for
this product.

❏ Do not use a damaged or frayed AC adapter.

❏ If you use an extension cord with the viewer, make sure the total amperage of all devices plugged

into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s amperage rating.

❏ Position the viewer’s power cable so that it will not be stepped on or run over.

❏ Do not place any objects on the power cable and the AC adapter.

❏ Keep the power cable straight at the ends and at the points where it enters the transformer.

Safety Instructions 14

R41A0K180 User’s Guide

other damage.

❏ If the AC plug does not fit your outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

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.
