Compatible Computer Display Formats
You can connect the projector to a wide range of computers, including 
PCs and notebooks, Apple Macintosh, PowerPC and Intel Core 
Macintosh computers, PowerBook computers, many iMac and iBook

Although images are displayed at the projector’s native resolution of 
1024 × 768 pixels, Epson’s patented SizeWise chip supports computer 
display formats ranging from VGA through UXGA.
To project images output from a computer, the computer’s external 
monitor signal must be set at a refresh rate (vertical frequency) that’s 
compatible with the projector; see the following table for compatible 
formats. For best results, the computer’s resolution should be set to 
match the projector’s native resolution (1024 × 768). If this resolution 
isn’t available, select one of the other compatible formats:
■Windows:
Right-click the desktop, select 
Properties, click the Settings tab, 
and select a compatible resolution. (For a notebook displaying 
through an external monitor port, you’ll need to click the 
Advanced button on the Settings tab, then adjust the resolution 
of the external monitor.) 
■Macintosh OS X:
From the Apple menu, select 
System Preferences, then click 
Display or Displays. Make sure the VGA Display or Color LCD 
dialog box is selected, then click the 
Display tab and select a 
compatible resolution. 
You may need to modify existing presentation files if you created them 
for a different resolution. See your software documentation for details.

Notices
This chapter includes safety instructions and other important information 
about your 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.
■Insert the projector’s two-prong plug into a properly grounded 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.
■Never push objects of any kind through the cabinet slots. Never spill 
liquid of any kind into the projector. 
						

							98Notices
■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.
■ The lamp(s) in this product contain mercury. Please consult your 
state and local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put
in the trash.
■Unplug the projector during lightning storms or when it will not be used 
for extended periods.

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.

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:

■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.

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
