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 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.  
						

							Notices93 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, EPSONS 
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.
