This appendix includes safety instructions and other important information 
about your Epson PowerLite projector.
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 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 l’appareil près d’une prise de courant où la fiche peut être débranchée 
facilement.
■Insert the projector’s three-wire grounding-type plug into a properly 
grounded outlet. If you have a two-prong outlet, contact an electrician 
to replace it. 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.

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 personnel. 
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages and 
other hazards.
■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.
■This product includes a lamp component that contains mercury (Hg). 
Please consult your state and local regulations regarding proper disposal 
and do not put 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/or remote control on top of 
heat-producing equipment or in a hot location.
■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 use the projector outside of the required temperature range of 41 
to 95 °F (5 to 35 °C). Doing so may cause an unstable display and could 
lead to projector damage.
■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.

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’s 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.

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

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.

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 original 
retail purchaser of the Epson product enclosed with this limited warranty 
statement that the product, if purchased new and operated 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). For warranty service, you must provide proof of the date 
of original purchase.
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 refurbished to the Epson standard of 
quality, and at Epson’s option, the replacement may be another model of like 
kind and quality. Epson’s liability for replacement of the covered product will 
not exceed the original retail selling price of the covered product. 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 does not apply to 
refurbished or reconditioned products. 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. This warranty is not 
transferable. 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.

							Notices127 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. IN THE EVENT THE REMEDIES ABOVE FAIL, EPSON’S 
ENTIRE LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO A REFUND OF THE 
PRICE PAID FOR THE EPSON PRODUCT COVERED BY THIS 
LIMITED WARRANTY. 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.
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.
