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 batteries may be low on power; replace them.

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 properly, remember you can 
always control your computer-based presentation directly from the 
computer, even in an environment containing one of the conditions 
listed above.

FCC Compliance Statement
For United States Users
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a 
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are 
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a 
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio 
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the 
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio or television reception. 
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular 
installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio and television 
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, 
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the 
following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which 
the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
WARNING
The connection of a non-shielded equipment interface cable to this 
equipment will invalidate the FCC Certification of this device and may cause 
interference levels which exceed the limits established by the FCC for this 
equipment. It is the responsibility of the user to obtain and use a shielded 
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.
For Canadian Users
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian 
Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement 
sur le materiel brouilleur du Canada.

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. For lamps, 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. 
						

							Notices109 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.
