							65
Particular care should be taken when the projector is 
mounted on the ceiling, as small pieces of glass may 
fall down when the lamp cover is removed. Be very 
careful not to allow such pieces of glass to get into 
the eyes or mouth.
•Material or paper may get stuck against the air filter 
underneath the projector while it is in use. Remove 
anything from underneath the projector that might 
get stuck against the air filter in this way.
•Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use.
Doing so will result in serious burns. Before remov-
ing the lamp, turn off the power supply and wait 
approximately one hour to allow the lamp to cool 
completely.
•A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used 
as the projector’s light source. Mercury lamps may 
make a loud noise when they break. Handle the lamp 
with extreme care while observing the following.
If the following points are not observed, injury or 
poisoning may result.
−Do not damage the lamp or subject it to any 
impacts.
−Do not use the lamp after the lamp replacement 
period has elapsed. Once the lamp replacement 
period has elapsed, the possibility of the lamp 
breaking becomes greater. When the lamp replace-
ment message appears, replace the lamp with a 
new one as soon as possible.
−The gases inside mercury lamps contain mercury 
vapor. If the lamp breaks, immediately ventilate 
the room to prevent the gases that are released 
when the lamp breaks from being inhaled or com-
ing into contact with the eyes or mouth.
−Do not bring your face close to the projector while 
it is in use, in order to prevent the gases that are 
released when the lamp breaks from being inhaled 
or coming into contact with the eyes or mouth.
−If the lamp breaks and needs to be replaced with a 
new lamp, contact Epson to carry out the replace-
ment. If the lamp breaks, pieces of broken glass 
may get scattered around inside the projector.
−Particular care should be taken when the projector 
is mounted on the ceiling, as small pieces of glass 
may fall down when the lamp cover is removed. If 
cleaning the projector or replacing the lamp your-
self, be very careful not to allow such pieces of 
glass to get into the eyes or mouth.
If the lamp breaks and gas from the lamp or frag-
ments of broken glass are inhaled or get into the eyes or mouth, or if any other ill effects are 
noticed, immediately seek medical advice.
•Consult your local, state, or federal regulations 
regarding proper disposal of the lamp and do not 
place in the trash.
•If there is an electrical storm, do not touch the power 
plug; otherwise you may receive an electric shock.
•If using a remote control that takes batteries, keep 
these batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries 
are choking hazards and can be very dangerous if 
swallowed.
If the batteries are swallowed, seek medical assis-
tance immediately.
•When replacing batteries, take the following precau-
tions.
−Replace the batteries as soon as they run out.
−If the batteries leak, wipe away battery fluid with a 
soft cloth. If fluid gets on your hands, wash imme-
diately.
−Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
−Dispose of used batteries according to local 
regulations.
−Remove the batteries if you won’t be using the pro-
jector for a long period of time.
•Do not stand on the projector or place heavy objects 
on it.

heated rapidly, condensation (moisture) may form 
internally or on the lens surface. If condensation forms, 
it may not only cause incorrect operation such as weak-
ening of the image, but also damage the disc and/or 
parts. In order to prevent against condensation, set up 
this unit in the room approximately one hour before it 
is to be used. If by some chance condensation does 
form, turn on the main power switch then wait 1-2 
hours before use. Do not use the lamp during this time.This product includes a lamp component that contains 
mercury. Please consult your state and local regulations 
regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in the trash.
MovieMate uses a mercury lamp with a high internal 
pressure as its light source. Mercury lamps have the 
following characteristics.
•Lamp brightness decreases once the rated lamp usage 
time has passed.
•When the lamp reaches the end of its life, it may enter 
a state where it will no longer light, or it may explode 
with a loud noise due to impact, deterioration, or the 
expiration of its usage time.
•Depending on the individual difference of each lamp 
and the conditions of use, there is a considerable 
difference in the time it takes for the lamp to reach the 
end of its life. Make sure you have a replacement lamp 
available.
•The potential for the lamp to explode increases once 
the lamp usage time has been exceeded.
When the lamp replacement message appears, 
promptly replace the lamp with a new one.
•Although the liquid crystal panel is made using very 
precise high technology, you may see some black 
pixels, or pixels that are always lit red, blue, or 
green.You may also be able to see lines with irregular 
brightness or color.
These are normal characteristics of liquid crystal 
panels, and are not indicative of any malfunction. Be 
aware of this fact.
