Notices
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.
■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.

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.

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, 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 your product requires service, 
Epson will ask you to bring the product securely packaged in its original 
container or equivalent, along with proof of the date of original purchase, to 
your Epson Dealer or Epson Customer Care Center as instructed by Epson. 
Epson will, at its option, repair or replace 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 use 
of the product. 24-hour-per-day or other excessive continual use causes 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. Epson is not responsible for warranty 
service 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.
