Safety Instructions

Read all these instructions before using the viewer, and keep this guide handy for later reference. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the viewer and any options.

Using the Viewer

Caution:

Do not drop the viewer or expose it to any impact, to avoid damaging the internal hard disk and losing stored files. Do not format the hard disk from your computer, or the viewer will be unusable.

Epson is not responsible for backing up or recovering data. It is strongly recommended that you make your own backup files.

- Follow all warnings and instructions marked on this product.

Use only AC adapter model A351H and lithium-ion battery model D111A with this product.

When connecting the viewer to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.

Do not insert objects into the slots or openings on the viewer.
Do not touch the components inside the viewer unless instructed to do so in the documentation. Never force the viewer's components into place. Although the viewer is designed to be sturdy, rough handling can damage it.
○Never spill liquid onto the viewer.
If the viewer emits unusual noises, odors, or smoke, cancel the current operation and turn it off immediately. Remove the battery and disconnect the AC adapter from the viewer, then unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet. Contact Epson.
Do not use your headphones for long periods at high volume as this can cause permanent hearing loss.
Do not use your headphones while operating a vehicle or performing an activity that requires attention to external sound. When wearing your headphones, we strongly recommend setting the volume so that you can hear your normal speaking voice.
Do not stand the device upright as it may fall over and be damaged.
Do not use the viewer after moving it between extreme temperatures, which may cause condensation to form on electronic parts.

If you use the viewer in places where the use of electronic devices is limited, such as in airplanes or hospitals, follow all instructions in those places.
Do not use the viewer outdoors during a thunderstorm.
To prevent fire or electric shock, do not cover the viewer with a blanket or other covering that may give off a static electric shock.
To prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose the viewer or its options to rain or moisture.
To prevent fire or explosion, do not use the viewer where flammable or volatile gas is stored.

Using the Battery

Caution:

There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by the incorrect type. Use the specified new batteries only. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

If battery acid gets into your eyes or on your skin, immediately rinse the affected area thoroughly with water and seek medical treatment. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical treatment immediately.

Use only an Epson lithium-ion battery for the viewer according to the instructions in this manual.

Use only AC adapter model A351H and the viewer (Model G961A/G961B) to charge batteries.
Do not use the battery that comes with the viewer for other devices.
To protect against short-circuiting, do not remove the outside sleeves of the battery.
- Do not handle the battery with wet hands or use it near water.
- Do not expose the battery to water or high humidity.
Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate, or short-circuit the battery.
○Do not place the battery near or into fire or water.
Do not use batteries that are leaking or damaged in any way.
○Do not charge the battery on devices except the viewer.
Do not charge the battery near open flame or in very hot locations.
- Keep batteries away from heat sources.
Do not leave the battery in a vehicle to prevent the battery from overheating.
Do not insert objects into any openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-circuit components.

  • Prevent the battery from coming into contact with metal objects that could short-circuit it, such as coins or keys.
    Do not insert the battery into power outlets or other power sources such as car cigarette lighter sockets.
  • Do not solder wires or terminals directly to the battery.
    Do not touch battery terminals.
    Keep batteries away from open flame if they leak or smell strange.
    ○If overheating, discoloration, or distortion occur, remove the battery from the viewer and do not use it.
    ○Charge the battery before using it if it has not been used for a long period.

Storing the Battery

When not using this device for a long period, remove the battery from the viewer and store it separately.
Do not store batteries where the temperature or humidity is very high.
- Store batteries out of children's reach.

Disposing of the Battery

Before disposing of the battery, make sure you discharge it completely.

Warning:

Be sure to securely cover the end of the battery with tape to prevent combustion or explosion when disposing.

Do not incinerate or dispose of the battery in fire.

Do not dispose of batteries as ordinary refuse. Instead, dispose of them in a collection or recycle box in accordance with local laws.

For users in North America and Canada:

EPSON P-3000 - Warning: - 1

This mark indicates that the battery will be recycled by the RBRC. When you are ready to dispose of the battery, contact the RBRC at (800) 822-8837.

Using the AC Adapter

  • Use only the type of power source indicated on the AC adapter's label, and always supply power directly from a standard, domestic power outlet with a power cord that meets the relevant local safety standards.
  • Place the AC adapter near an electrical outlet where the power cord can be easily unplugged.

The AC adapter and power cable provided are designed for use with the viewer. Do not attempt to use them with other electronic devices unless specified.
Do not remove the AC adapter from this device during operations (connecting the AC adapter during operations is possible).
The AC adapter included is designed for use with the viewer. Use of any other adapter could result in fire, electrical shock, or injury.
○Use only AC adapter model A351H with the viewer.
Do not connect the AC adapter when the battery is not installed. Otherwise, the viewer may be damaged.
Use only the power source that meets the power requirements indicated on the label attached to the product. If you are not sure of the power supply specifications in your area, contact your local power company or regulatory agency.
Make sure the total amperage of all devices plugged into the power outlet does not exceed the power outlet's ampere rating.
Do not use a damaged or frayed AC adapter.

If you use an extension cord with the viewer, make sure the total amperage of all devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord's amperage rating.
Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the AC adapter by yourself.
Do not use power outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.
Do not use power outlets on the same circuit as large motors or other appliances that may cause voltage fluctuations.
- Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.
To prevent fire or electric shock, do not cover the AC adapter with a blanket or similar covering.
- Position the viewer's power cord so that it will not be stepped on or run over.
Do not place any objects on the power cord and the AC adapter.
Keep the power cord straight at the ends and at the points where it enters the transformer.
The power cord should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, kinking, and other damage.

  • If you cannot insert the plug into the power outlet, contact an electrician.
  • Remove the AC plug from the outlet during lightning storms.

Using a Memory Card

○Only memory cards designed for the product's specifications can be used. (See page 16.)
The methods for using memory cards vary according to card type. See the documentation included with your memory card for details.
Do not remove a memory card or turn off the product while the memory card access light is flashing.

Using the LCD

The LCD panel on the viewer may contain a few small bright or dark spots. These are normal and do not mean that your LCD panel is damaged in any way.
○If the LCD panel on the viewer is damaged, contact Epson.

If the liquid crystal solution contained in the LCD panel on the viewer leaks out and gets onto your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If it gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
