Setting Up the Projector

Follow the instructions in these sections to set up your projector for use.

Projector Placement

You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image.

You can also install the projector in a ceiling mount if you want to use it in a fixed location.

Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:

• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.

• Place the projector parallel to the screen.

• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or

next to anything that could block the vents.

• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

Projection Distance

The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the

image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen, but can vary depending on

the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings.

Use the tables here to determine approximately how far to place the projector from the screen based on

the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been rounded up or down.) You can also

use the Projection Distance Calculator here (U.S.), here (Canada), or here (Caribbean).

Projector Maintenance

Your projector needs little maintenance to keep working at its best.

You may need to clean the lens periodically, and clean the air filter and air vents to prevent the projector

from overheating due to blocked ventilation.

The only parts you should replace are the lamp, air filter, and remote control batteries. If any other part

needs replacing, contact Epson or an authorized Epson servicer.

Warning: Before cleaning any part of the projector, turn it off and unplug the power cord. Never open

any cover on the projector, except as specifically explained in this manual. Dangerous electrical voltages

Cleaning the Lens

Clean the projector's lens periodically, or whenever you notice dust or smudges on the surface.

• To remove dust or smudges, gently wipe the lens with lens-cleaning paper.

171

• To remove stubborn smudges, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the

lens. Do not spray any liquid directly on the lens.

Warning: Do not use a lens cleaner that contains flammable gas. The high heat generated by the

projector lamp may cause a fire.

Caution: Do not use glass cleaner or any harsh materials to clean the lens and do not subject the lens

to any impacts; you may damage it. Do not use canned air, or the gases may leave a residue. Avoid

touching the lens with your bare hands to prevent fingerprints on or damage to the lens surface.

Cleaning the Projector Case

Before cleaning the projector case, turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.

• To remove dust or dirt, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

• To remove stubborn dirt, use a soft cloth moistened with water and mild soap. Do not spray liquid

directly on the projector.

Air Filter and Vent Maintenance

Regular filter maintenance is important to maintaining your projector. Your Epson projector is designed

with an easily accessible, user-replaceable filter to protect your projector and make regular maintenance

simple. Filter maintenance intervals will depend on the environment.

If regular maintenance is not performed, your Epson projector will notify you when the temperature

inside the projector has reached a high level. Do not wait until this warning appears to maintain your

projector filter as prolonged exposure to high temperatures may reduce the life of your projector or lamp.

Damage due to the failure to properly maintain the projector or its filter may not be covered by the

projector or lamp Limited Warranties.

For best results, your computer's monitor port or video card resolution should be set to display in the

projector's native resolution. However, your projector includes Epson's SizeWise chip that supports other

computer display resolutions, so your image will be resized to fit automatically.

Your computer's monitor port or video card refresh rate (vertical frequency) must be compatible with the

projector. (See your computer or video card manual for details.)

Important Safety Information

Caution: Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on; the bright light can damage your

eyes. Never let children look into the lens when it is on. Never open any cover on the projector, except

the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages inside the projector can severely injure you.

Except as specifically explained in this User's Guide, do not attempt to service this product yourself.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Warning: The projector and its accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away

from small children to avoid any risk of suffocation.

Caution: When you replace the lamp, never touch the new lamp with your bare hands; the invisible

residue left by the oil on your hands may shorten the lamp life. Use a cloth or glove to handle the new

lamp.

Parent topic: Notices

221

Important Safety Instructions

Follow these safety instructions when setting up and using the projector:

• Do not look into the lens when the projector is on. The bright light can damage your eyes. Avoid

standing in front of the projector so the bright light does not shine into your eyes.

• Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table.

• Do not operate the projector on its side, or while tilted to one side. Do not tilt the projector more than

30° forward or back.

• If the projector is mounted on a ceiling or wall, it should be installed by qualified technicians using

mounting hardware designed for use with this projector.

• When installing or adjusting a ceiling or wall mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from

loosening and do not use oils or lubricants. This may cause the projector case to crack and the

projector to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the mount and

could damage the projector.

• Do not use the projector near water, sources of heat, high-voltage electrical wires, or sources of

magnetic fields.

• Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. Use of a different power source may result in

fire or electric shock. If you are not sure of the power available, consult your dealer or power company.

• Place the projector near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.

• Take the following precautions when handling the plug: Do not hold the plug with wet hands. Do not

insert the plug into a dusty outlet. Insert the plug firmly into the outlet. Do not pull the power cord when

disconnecting the plug; always be sure to hold the plug when disconnecting it. Do not overload wall

outlets, extension cords, or power strips. Failure to comply with these precautions could result in fire or

electric shock.

• Do not place the projector where the cord can be walked on. This may result in fraying or damage to

the plug.

• Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and allow to cool before cleaning. Use a dry cloth (or, for

stubborn dirt or stains, a moist cloth that has been wrung dry) for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol

cleaners, any sprays containing flammable gas, or solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner, or benzine.

• Do not block the slots and openings in the projector case. They provide ventilation and prevent the

projector from overheating. Do not operate the projector on a sofa, rug, or other soft surface, or set it

on top of loose papers. Do not cover the projector with a blanket, curtain, or tablecloth. If you are

setting up the projector near a wall, leave at least 7.9 inches (20 cm) of space between the wall and

the projector.

• Do not operate the projector in a closed-in cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

that country.

• Do not stand on the projector or place heavy objects on it.

• Do not use the projector outside of the required temperature range below:

41 to 95 °F (5 to 35 °C) at an altitude of 7500 feet (2286 m) or less, or 41 to 86 °F (5 to 30 °C) at a

higher altitude

223

Doing so may cause an unstable display and could lead to projector damage. Do not use or store the

projector where it may be exposed to sudden changes in temperature.

• Do not store the projector outside of the required temperature range of 14 to 140 °F (–10 to 60 °C) or

in direct sunlight for long periods of time. Doing so may cause damage to the case.

• Do not place anything that can become warped or damaged by heat near the exhaust vents. Do not

bring your hands or face close to the vents while projection is in progress. Do not bring your face close

to the projector while it is in use.

• Before you move the projector, make sure its power is turned off, the plug is disconnected from the

outlet, and all cables are disconnected.

• Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use because it will be extremely hot. Before removing

the lamp, turn off the power and wait at least an hour to allow the lamp to cool completely.

• Do not disassemble the lamp or subject it to impacts.

• Do not place the source of an open flame, such as a lit candle, on or near the projector.

• Do not block the lens during projection using a book or any object other than the lens cover. This could

damage the projector or cause a fire.

• Do not modify the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on top of the power cord or bend, twist, or

pull it excessively. Keep the power cord away from hot electrical appliances.

• If the lamp breaks, ventilate the room to prevent gases contained in the lamp from being inhaled or

coming in contact with your eyes or mouth. If you do inhale gases or gases come in contact with your

eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.

• If the projector is mounted overhead and the lamp breaks, be careful to prevent pieces of glass from

falling into your eyes or mouth when you open the lamp cover. If pieces of glass do get into your eyes

or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.

• Always lower the volume before turning off the projector. Turning on the projector with the volume too

high can damage your ears.

Binding Arbitration and Class Waiver

1. DISPUTES, BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND

CLASS ARBITRATIONS

1.1 Disputes. The terms of this Section 1 shall apply to all Disputes between you and Epson. The term

"Dispute" is meant to have the broadest meaning permissible under law and includes any dispute, claim,

controversy or action between you and Epson arising out of or relating to this Agreement, Epson

branded products (hardware and including any related software), or other transaction involving you and

Epson, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation,

ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. "DISPUTE" DOES NOT INCLUDE IP CLAIMS, or more

specifically, a claim or cause of action for (a) trademark infringement or dilution, (b) patent infringement,

also agree, notwithstanding Section 1.6,that a court, not an arbitrator, may decide if a claim or cause of

action is for an IP Claim.

1.2 Binding Arbitration. You and Epson agree that all Disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration

according to this Agreement. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JUDGE

OR JURY IN A COURT PROCEEDING AND YOUR GROUNDS FOR APPEAL ARE LIMITED.

Pursuant to this Agreement, binding arbitration shall be administered by JAMS, a nationally recognized

arbitration authority, pursuant to its code of procedures then in effect for consumer related disputes, but

excluding any rules that permit joinder or class actions in arbitration (for more detail on procedure, see

Section 1.6 below). You and Epson understand and agree that (a) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C.

§1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 1, (b) this Agreement

memorializes a transaction in interstate commerce, and (c) this Section 1 shall survive termination of this

Agreement.

1.3 Pre-Arbitration Steps and Notice. Before submitting a claim for arbitration, you and Epson agree to

try, for sixty (60) days, to resolve any Dispute informally. If Epson and you do not reach an agreement to

230

resolve the Dispute within the sixty (60) days), you or Epson may commence an arbitration. Notice to

Epson must be addressed to: Epson America, Inc., ATTN: Legal Department, 3840 Kilroy Airport Way,

Long Beach, CA 90806 (the "Epson Address"). The Dispute Notice to you will be sent to the most recent

address Epson has in its records for you. For this reason, it is important to notify us if your address

changes by emailing us at EAILegal@ea.epson.com or writing us at the Epson Address above. Notice of

the Dispute shall include the sender's name, address and contact information, the facts giving rise to the

Dispute, and the relief requested (the "Dispute Notice"). Following receipt of the Dispute Notice, Epson

and you agree to act in good faith to resolve the Dispute before commencing arbitration.

1.4 Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small

claims court of your state or municipality if the action is within that court's jurisdiction and is pending only

in that court.

1.5 WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND EPSON AGREE THAT

EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL

CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR

REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE

CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, CLASS-WIDE

ARBITRATIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTIONS, AND ANY OTHER PROCEEDING

WHERE SOMEONE ACTS IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ARE NOT ALLOWED.

ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION, AN

ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY'S CLAIMS

WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION

PROCEEDING.

1.6 Arbitration Procedure. If you or Epson commences arbitration, the arbitration shall be governed by

the rules of JAMS that are in effect when the arbitration is filed, excluding any rules that permit arbitration

on a class or representative basis (the "JAMS Rules"), available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling

1-800-352-5267, and under the rules set forth in this Agreement. All Disputes shall be resolved by a

single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the

selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator, and not

any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising

out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement,

including any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. Notwithstanding this broad

delegation of authority to the arbitrator, a court may determine the limited question of whether a claim or

cause of action is for an IP Claim, which is excluded from the definition of "Disputes" in Section 1.1

above. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under

law or in equity. The arbitrator may award you the same damages as a court could, and may award

declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent

necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. In some instances, the costs of

arbitration can exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration

231

than in court. The arbitrator's award is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of

competent jurisdiction.

You may choose to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone. Arbitration hearings not conducted by

telephone shall take place in a location reasonably accessible from your primary residence, or in Orange

County, California, at your option.

a) Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding. If either you or Epson decides to arbitrate a Dispute, both parties

agree to the following procedure:

(i) Write a Demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Dispute and the amount

of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at

http://www.jamsadr.com ("Demand for Arbitration").

(ii) Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to: JAMS, 500 North

State College Blvd., Suite 600 Orange, CA 92868, U.S.A.

(iii) Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party (same address as the Dispute

Notice), or as otherwise agreed by the parties.

b) Hearing Format. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made shall not be disclosed

to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Epson is entitled.

The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during

the arbitration.

c) Arbitration Fees. Epson shall pay, or (if applicable) reimburse you for, all JAMS filings and arbitrator

fees for any arbitration commenced (by you or Epson) pursuant to provisions of this Agreement.

d) Award in Your Favor. For Disputes in which you or Epson seeks $75,000 or less in damages exclusive

of attorney's fees and costs, if the arbitrator's decision results in an award to you in an amount greater

than Epson's last written offer, if any, to settle the Dispute, Epson will: (i) pay you $1,000 or the amount

of the award, whichever is greater; (ii) pay you twice the amount of your reasonable attorney's fees, if

any; and (iii) reimburse you for any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney

reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing the Dispute in arbitration. Except as

agreed upon by you and Epson in writing, the arbitrator shall determine the amount of fees, costs, and

expenses to be paid by Epson pursuant to this Section 1.6d).

e) Attorney's Fees. Epson will not seek its attorney's fees and expenses for any arbitration commenced

involving a Dispute under this Agreement. Your right to attorney's fees and expenses under Section

1.6d) above does not limit your rights to attorney's fees and expenses under applicable law;

notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator may not award duplicative awards of attorney's fees and

expenses.

1.7 Opt-out. You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding, individual

arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this

Agreement by sending a written letter to the Epson Address within thirty (30) days of your assent

232

to this Agreement (including without limitation the purchase, download, installation of the

Software or other applicable use of Epson Hardware, products and services) that specifies (i)

your name, (ii) your mailing address, and (iii) your request to be excluded from the final, binding

individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in

this Section 1. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all

other terms shall continue to apply, including the requirement to provide notice prior to litigation.

1.8 Amendments to Section 1. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you

and Epson agree that if Epson makes any future amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and

class action waiver provisions (other than a change to Epson's address) in this Agreement, Epson will

obtain your affirmative assent to the applicable amendment. If you do not affirmatively assent to the

applicable amendment, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between the parties in

accordance with the language of this Section 1 (or resolve disputes as provided for in Section 1.7, if you

timely elected to opt-out when you first assented to this Agreement).

1.9 Severability. If any provision in this Section 1 is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be

severed with the remainder of this Agreement remaining in full force and effect. The foregoing shall not

apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions as provided in Section 1.5. This

means that if Section 1.5 is found to be unenforceable, the entire Section 1 (but only Section 1)

shall be null and void.
