Do notlook into the lens when the projector is on. The bright light candamage your eyes. Avoid standing in front of the projector so thebright light does not shine into your eyes.
Do not place any flammable objects in front of theprojector lens, otherwise, a fire may occur.
Do not touch the lens with bare hands.
Do notplace the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or tableor on a surface that is unable to support itsweight. Otherwise, it could fall or topple causing an accident andinjury.
If you use the projector tilted at an angle of morethan 3°, it could be damaged and cause an accident.
If theprojector is mounted on a ceiling or wall, it should be installedby qualified technicians using mounting hardware designed for usewith this projector. When installing the projectorin a high position, take measures to prevent it from falling byusing wires to ensure safety in an emergency, such as anearthquake, and to prevent accidents. If the projector is notinstalled correctly, the projector could fall. This may result ininjury or accidents. Contact your dealer to carry out theinstallation work.
Failure to install the ceiling mount and projectormay cause the projector to fall. After installing the specificEpson mount that supports your projector, make sure you secure themount to all of the projector's ceiling mount fixing points. Also,secure the projector and the mounts using wire that is strongenough to hold their weight.
Do not install in locations where salt damage couldoccur, or in locations subject to corrosive gas such as sulphuricgas from hot springs. Otherwise, corrosion could cause theprojector to fall. It could also cause the projector tomalfunction.
Wheninstalling or adjusting a ceiling or wall mount, do not useadhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oilsor lubricants. This may cause the projector case to crack and theprojector to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause seriousinjury to anyone under the mount and could damage theprojector.
Do not install the projector in locations exposed tohigh humidity and dust, such as on a kitchen counter, in thekitchen, or near a humidifier, or in locations exposed to oil smokeor steam. Doing so could cause fire or electric shock.
Examples of environmentsthat could cause the projector to fall due to casedeterioration:
- Locations subject to excessive smoke or airborne oilparticles, such as factories or kitchens
- Locations containing volatile solvents or chemicals,such as factories or laboratories
- Locations where the projector could be subjected todetergents or chemicals, such as factories or kitchens
