Projector Placement You can place the projector on almost any flat surface to project an image. You can also install the projector in a ceiling mount if you want to use it in a fixed location. An optional ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling. The projector can be installed at various angles. There is no vertical or horizontal limit to how the projector can be installed. Note the following points when selecting a projector location: • To change the projected image size, move the projector back and forth.
• Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.
• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or next to anything that could block the vents. • Place the projector so it squarely faces the screen, not at an angle.
You can adjust distortion and the height of the projected image using the front adjustable feet and rear adjustable foot.
Warning • You must install a ceiling mount when suspending the projector from a ceiling. If you do not install the projector correctly, it could fall and cause damage or injury. • A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling. If you do not install the projector correctly, it could fall and cause damage or injury. • Do not use adhesives on the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws from loosening, or use lubricants, oils, or similar substances on the projector; the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount and could damage the projector. • Failure to install the ceiling mount and projector may cause the projector to fall. After installing the specific Epson mount that supports your projector, make sure you secure the mount to all of the projector's ceiling mount fixing points. Also, secure the projector and the mounts using the safety wire supplied with the projector or an optional wire. • Do not install the projector in a location subject to high levels of dust or humidity, or in a location subject to smoke or steam. Otherwise, it could cause a fire or electric shock to occur. The projector's case could also deteriorate and be damaged causing the projector to fall from the mount. Examples of environments that could cause the projector to fall due to case deterioration • Locations subject to excessive smoke or airborne oil particles, such as factories or kitchens • Locations containing volatile solvents or chemicals, such as factories or laboratories • Locations where the projector could be subjected to detergents or chemicals, such as factories or kitchens • Locations in which aroma oils are often used, such as relaxation rooms • Near devices that produce excessive smoke, airborne oil particles, or foam at events • Locations near humidifiers
Projector Placement Warning • Do not cover the projector's air intake or air exhaust vents. If the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire. • Do not use or store the projector in locations where it will be subject to dust or dirt. Otherwise, the quality of the projected image may decline, or the air filter may become clogged, resulting in a malfunction or fire. • Do not install the projector on an unstable surface or in a location beyond the weight specifications of the projector. Otherwise, it could fall or topple causing an accident and injury. • When installing the projector in a high position, take measures to prevent falling by using wires to ensure safety in an emergency, such as an earthquake, and to prevent accidents. If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury. • Do not install in locations where salt damage could occur, or in locations subject to corrosive gas such as sulphuric gas from hot springs. Otherwise, corrosion could cause the projector to fall. It could also cause the projector to malfunction.
Projector Setup and Installation Options You can set up or install your projector in the following ways: Front/Rear
Front Upside Down/Rear Upside Down
• If you are using the projector at altitudes above 1,500 m, set the High Altitude Mode setting to On in the projector's menu to ensure the projector's internal temperature is regulated properly. • Try not to setup the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to smoke from fires or tobacco smoke.

Projector Maintenance You may need to clean the projection window, obstacle sensor, and motion sensor periodically, and clean the air filter and air vents to prevent the projector from overheating due to blocked ventilation. The only parts you should replace are the air filter and remote control batteries. If any other part needs replacing, contact Epson or an authorized Epson servicer.
Warning Before cleaning any part of the projector, turn it off and unplug the power cord. Never open any cover on the projector, except as specifically explained in this manual. Dangerous electrical voltages in the projector can injure you severely.
Cleaning the Projection Window Clean the projection window periodically, or whenever you notice dust or smudges on the surface. • To remove dust or smudges, gently wipe the projection window with clean and dry lens-cleaning paper. • If the projection window is dusty, blow off dust using a blower, and then wipe the projection window.
Warning • Before cleaning the projection window, turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. • Do not use any flammable gas sprays such as air dusters to blow off dust. The high heat generated by the projector may cause a fire.
• Do not wipe the projection window right after you turn off the projector. Doing so could damage the projection window. • Do not use any harsh materials to clean the projection window and do not subject the projection window to any impacts; otherwise, it could be damaged.
Cleaning the Obstacle Sensor and Motion Sensor Clean the projector's obstacle sensor and motion sensor periodically, or if you see a message telling you to remove any obstacles that are interfering with the projection area. To remove dust or smudges, gently wipe the sensors with lens-cleaning paper.
Warning Do not use a lens cleaner that contains flammable gas to clean the obstacle sensor and motion sensor. The high heat generated by the projector may cause a fire.
Do not use glass cleaner or any harsh materials to clean the sensors and do not subject the sensors to any impacts. Damage to the surface of the sensors may cause malfunctions.
Cleaning the Projector Case Before cleaning the projector case, turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. • To remove dust or dirt, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. • To remove stubborn dirt, use a soft cloth moistened with water and mild soap. Do not spray liquid directly on the projector.
Do not use wax, alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other chemicals to clean the projector case. These can damage the case. Do not use canned air, or the gases may leave a flammable residue.
Air Filter and Vent Maintenance Regular filter maintenance is important to maintain your projector. Clean the air filter when a message appears telling you the temperature inside the projector has reached a high level. It is recommended that you clean these parts over a 20,000 hour period. Clean them more often than this if you use the projector in an environment that is dustier than expected. (Assuming the projector is used in an atmosphere in which airborne particulate matter is less than 0.04 to 0.2 mg/m3.)
b Remove the front cover.
If regular maintenance is not performed, your Epson projector will notify you when the temperature inside the projector has reached a high level. Do not wait until this warning appears to maintain your projector filter as prolonged exposure to high temperatures may reduce the life of your projector.

This section briefly explains the difficult terms that are not explained in the text of this guide. For details, refer to other commercially available publications. Aspect Ratio
The ratio between an image's length and its height. Screens with a horizontal:vertical ratio of 16:9, such as HDTV screens, are known as wide screens. SDTV and general computer displays have an aspect ratio of 4:3.
The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image can be increased or decreased to make text and graphics stand out more clearly, or to make them appear softer. Adjusting this particular property of an image is called contrast adjustment.
Full HD A screen size standard with a resolution of 1,920 (horizontal) × 1,080 (vertical) dots.
HDCP HDCP is an abbreviation for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. It is used to prevent illegal copying and protect copyrights by encrypting digital signals sent over DVI and HDMI ports. Because the HDMI port on this projector supports HDCP, it can project digital images protected by HDCP technology. However, the projector may not be able to project images protected with updated or revised versions of HDCP encryption.
An abbreviation for High Definition Multimedia Interface. HDMI™ is a standard aimed at digital consumer electronics and computers. This is the standard by which HD images and multichannel audio signals are digitally transmitted. By not compressing the digital signal, the image can be transferred at the highest quality possible. It also provides an encryption function for the digital signal.
HDTV An abbreviation for High-Definition Television that refers to high-definition systems which satisfy the following conditions: • Vertical resolution of 720p or 1080i or greater (p = Progressive, i = Interlace) • Screen aspect ratio of 16:9
Register devices in advance when connecting with Bluetooth devices to ensure mutual communication.
The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and color for an extremely short time. Because of this, the image must be scanned many times per second to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is called the Refresh rate and is expressed in hertz (Hz).
SDTV An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television that refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions for HDTV High-Definition Television.
