Precautions When Using the Wireless LAN Unit
Precautions When Using the Wireless LAN Unit
Note the following points when the optional supplied or optional
Wireless LAN unit is installed in the projector and used.
To help you use the product safely and correctly, symbols are applied in
the User's Guide and on the product to indicate possible harm to the user
or to others and the risk of damage to property. The indications and their
meaning are as follows. Make sure you understand them properly before
reading the guide.
Warning This indicates information that, if ignored, could
possibly result in death or personal injury due to
incorrect handling.
Caution This indicates information that, if ignored, could
possibly result in personal injury or physical
damage due to incorrect handling.
Warning:
• May exert electromagnetic interference on, and cause malfunction of, cardiac
pacemakers. Before use, ensure that electromagnetic interference does not occur.
• May exert electromagnetic interference on, and cause malfunction of, sensitive
medical equipment. Before use, ensure that electromagnetic interference does not
occur.
• Use of this product on aircraft may be restricted in some countries. Use of this
product is based on due diligence with regard to regulations.
Caution:
• This unit should only be used with Epson projectors. If it is installed on a device such
as a computer, it could result in computer failure, damage, or malfunction.
• Do not disassemble or remodel this unit. Otherwise you could be burned.
7
Precautions on Handling and Storage
• Do not store in locations with high temperatures or high humidity. In
particular it may be damaged or deformed by leaving it in a vehicle with
the windows shut, or placing it for extended periods in locations with
unusually high temperatures such as in direct sunlight.
• Do not get it wet. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
• Do not use near microwave ovens. Wireless communication may be
interrupted by the electromagnetic interference generated by
microwave ovens.
• Do not drop it, subject it to impacts, or place heavy objects on it.
Precautions Regarding Frequency
The frequency band for this unit is 2.4 GHz/5 GHz. This band is used for
industrial, scientific, and medical devices such as microwave ovens, and
it is also used by the premises of a radio station for mobile unit
identification (RF-ID) systems in the factory line (license required) and
specified low-power radio stations (no license required). Before using
this unit, check that there are no radio stations for mobile unit
identification or specified low-power radio station premises nearby. In
the event that this unit should interfere electromagnetically with the
premises of a radio station used for mobile unit recognition, cease use
immediately and stop generating the electromagnetic field. Contact
Epson if this unit interferes electromagnetically with a special low-power
radio station used for mobile unit identification or causes similar
problems.
Precautions When Using the Wireless LAN Unit
8
Wireless Telegraphy Act Regulations
The following acts are prohibited by the Wireless Telegraphy Act.
• Modifying and disassembling (including the antenna)
• Removing the label of conformance
• IEEE 802.11a (5 GHz band) external use
Precautions Regarding International Travel
Wireless devices are designed to conform to the channel and frequency
limits of the intended country of use. This unit is based on the
specifications of the country of sale. If this unit is used outside the
country of sale, check with a local dealer for more information.
Notes on Security when Using Wireless LANs
(Important information on customer rights (maintaining privacy))
• Unauthorized access to the network
A third party could access an individual or intra-company network
without permission and carry out any of the following activities.
• Retrieve personal data or other secret information (leaking
information)
• Pose as another user and send inappropriate data
(impersonation)
• Overwrite the contents of intercepted data and resend it
(falsification)
• Introduce a computer virus which could cause data loss or system
crashes (damage)
Initially, the possibility that such problems could occur through settings
concerning the security of the wireless LAN product and by using the
product are decreased, because the wireless LAN card and the access
point have security measures to deal with these problems. We
recommend that you use this product after making security settings
using your own judgment and assuming full responsibility, and with
your full understanding of problems that may occur if you do not make
any security settings.
The advantage of using a wireless LAN over a LAN cable is that, because
information is exchanged using radio signals, you can easily connect to
the network if you are within range of the radio signals. A disadvantage
of this is that within a certain range, the electromagnetic signals can pass
through barriers such as walls, so that if security countermeasures are not
implemented in some way, problems such as the following may occur.
• Communicated data can be intercepted
A third party may be able to receive wireless transmissions without
authorization, and they could obtain personal information from these
transmissions such as IDs, passwords, or credit card numbers, or they
could intercept the contents of personal e-mail messages.
See the projector User's Guide for more information on security settings.

EasyMP Network Projection Summary
There are two methods of connecting a computer and the projector via a
network by using EasyMP Network Projection.
Two Connection Modes and their Main Functions
Advanced Connection Mode
Advanced Connection Mode is an infrastructure connection, and
connects to an existing network system via a network cable.
When connecting to a network via Wired LAN, connect the projector to
the network hub with a commercially available LAN cable.
If you install the optional supplied or optional Wireless LAN unit in the
projector, you can connect to the network via a wireless LAN access
point.
Quick Connection Mode (only when the supplied or
optional Wireless LAN unit is installed)
Quick Connection Mode only runs when you install the supplied or
optional Wireless LAN unit in the projector.
Quick Connection Mode temporarily assigns the projector's SSID to a
computer creating an ad hoc connection, and restores the computer's
network settings after disconnecting.s p.19
• You can easily connect to a computer and project images from the
computer without making network settings.
• You can monitor and control projectors on a network from the
computer.
• This lets you connect easily without a connector cable, and you can
even connect if the projector and the computer are at remote locations.
Main functions
You can make meetings and presentations by using the following
convenient functions.
