Appendix B: Notices
This appendix includes safety instructions and other important information 
about your EPSON PowerLite 54c/74c.
Important Safety Instructions
Follow these safety instructions when setting up and using the projector:
■Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
■Do not use the projector near water or sources of heat.
■Use attachments only as recommended.
■Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. 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. 
Placez le projecteur près d’une prise de contacte où la fiche peut être 
débranchée facilement.
■Insert the projector’s two-wire plug into an electrical outlet. Do not hold 
the plug with wet hands.
■Take the following precautions for the plug. Failure to comply with 
these precautions could result in sparks or fire: Do not insert the plug 
into an outlet with dust present. Insert the plug firmly into the outlet.
■Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience 
receptacles. This can cause 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 before cleaning. Use a damp 
cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
■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 in a closed-in 
cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided. 
						

							92Appendix B: Notices
■Never push objects of any kind through cabinet slots. Never spill liquid 
of any kind into the projector.
■Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to 
service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service 
personnel. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous 
voltages and other hazards.
■This product includes a lamp component that contains mercury. Please 
consult your state and local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. 
Do not put it in the trash.
■Unplug the projector during lightning storms or when it will not be used 
for extended periods. 
■Do not place the projector and remote control on top of heat-producing 
equipment or in a hot location.
■Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified 
service personnel under the following conditions: When the power cord 
or plug is damaged or frayed. If liquid has been spilled into the 
projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water. If it does not operate 
normally when you follow the operating instructions, or if it exhibits a 
distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service. If it has 
been dropped or the housing has been damaged.
■If you use the projector in a country other than where you purchased it, 
use the correct power cord for that country.
■Do not stand on the projector or place heavy objects on it.
■Do not attempt to remove the lamp immediately after use. Allow the 
lamp to cool for approximately one hour before removing it.
■Do not use the projector outside of the required temperature range: 
41 to 95 °F (5 to 35 °C). Doing so may cause an unstable display and an 
excessive load on the fan, leading to projector damage. 
■Do not store the projector outside of the required temperature range— 
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 use the projector with the lens cap in place. The heat generated 
by the lamp may damage the cap.
■The liquid crystal display panel contains more than 99.99% active 
pixels. However, 0.01% of the pixels may be missing or constantly 
illuminated. 
						

							Appendix B: Notices93
Remote Control Information
You can operate the projector by remote control via a line-of-sight infrared 
(IR) receiver at the front and rear of the projector. The projector may not 
respond to remote control commands under the following conditions:
■There is an object between the remote control IR emitter and the IR 
receiver on the projector.
■Ambient light is too bright.
■Certain types of fluorescent lighting are used.
■A strong light source shines into the IR receiver.
■Other equipment that emits infrared energy, such as a radiant room 
heater, is in the room.
These conditions commonly cause problems for most infrared-controlled 
equipment. Try the following:
■The remote control unit’s battery may be low on power; replace it.
■Dim the ambient lighting and/or turn off any fluorescent lights.
■Close any window coverings and/or move the projector out of direct 
sunlight.
■Turn off other equipment that emits infrared energy.
If the remote control still does not work correctly, you can always run your 
computer-based presentation directly from the computer.

equipment interface cable with this device. If this equipment has more than 
one interface connector, do not leave cables connected to unused interfaces. 
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could 
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Warranty
Epson America, Inc. Limited Warranty
Basic Two-Year Warranty and 90-Day Lamp Warranty
What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“EPSON”) warrants to the first end 
user customer of the EPSON product enclosed with this limited warranty 
statement that the product, if purchased and used in the United States or 
Canada, conforms to the manufacturer’s specifications and will be free from 
defects in workmanship and materials for a period of two (2) years from the 
date of original purchase (except that the warranty period is 90 days for 
projector lamps). 
What EPSON Will Do To Correct Problems: If you elect carry-in warranty 
service, please bring the product securely packaged in its original container or 
an equivalent, along with proof of the date of original purchase, to your 
EPSON Dealer or EPSON Customer Care Center. EPSON will, at its 
option, repair or replace on an exchange basis the defective unit, without 
charge for parts or labor. When warranty service involves the exchange of the 
product or of a part, the item replaced becomes EPSON property. The 
exchanged product or part may be new or previously repaired to the EPSON 
standard of quality. Exchange or replacement products or parts assume the 
remaining warranty period of the product covered by this limited warranty. 
However, each replacement lamp carries the limited 90-day warranty stated 
above.
What This Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty covers only normal 
consumer use in the United States and Canada. 24-hour-per-day use causes 
unusual strain and is not considered normal use. This warranty does not 
cover consumables (e.g., fuses), other than lamps. EPSON is not responsible 
for warranty service should the EPSON label or logo or the rating label or 
serial number be removed or should the product fail to be properly 
maintained or fail to function properly as a result of misuse, abuse, improper 
installation, neglect, improper shipping, damage caused by disasters such as 
fire, flood, and lightning, improper electrical current, software problems, 
interaction with non-EPSON products, or service other than by an EPSON 
Authorized Servicer. Postage, insurance, or shipping costs incurred in 
presenting your EPSON product for carry-in warranty service are your 
responsibility. If a claimed defect cannot be identified or reproduced in 
service, you will be held responsible for costs incurred. 
						

							Appendix B: Notices97 THE WARRANTY AND REMEDY PROVIDED ABOVE ARE 
EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED 
WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE 
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS 
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW 
THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IF THESE LAWS 
APPLY, THEN ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE 
LIMITED TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD IDENTIFIED ABOVE. 
UNLESS STATED HEREIN, ANY STATEMENTS OR 
REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY ANY OTHER PERSON OR FIRM 
ARE VOID. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS WRITTEN 
WARRANTY, NEITHER EPSON AMERICA, INC. NOR ITS 
AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, INCONVENIENCE, 
OR DAMAGE, INCLUDING DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR 
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, RESULTING FROM THE USE OR 
INABILITY TO USE THE EPSON PRODUCT, WHETHER 
RESULTING FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER 
LEGAL THEORY. IF THE REMEDY ABOVE FAILS, EPSON’S 
ENTIRE LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO A REFUND OF THE 
PRICE PAID FOR THE EPSON PRODUCTS COVERED BY THIS 
LIMITED WARRANTY.
In Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions.
Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty 
lasts and some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of 
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations and exclusions 
may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other 
rights, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
