Place the projector near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.

Check the specifications of the power cable. Using an inappropriate power cable could result in fire or electric shock.

The power cable supplied with the projector is intended to comply with power supply requirements for the country of purchase.

If using the projector overseas, check the power supply voltage and outlet shape that conform to the local standards, and purchase a proper power cable in the country.

Take the following precautions when handling the plug. Failure to comply with these precautions could result in fire or electric shock.

Do not insert the plug into an outlet with dust present.

If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or it has been exposed to rain, water, or excessive humidity.

If it does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions, or if it exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.

If it has been dropped or the housing has been damaged.

The internal projector components consist of many glass parts such as the lens and projection lamp. The lamp is fragile, and can easily break. If the lamp breaks, handle the projector with extreme care to avoid injury from broken glass, and contact Epson for a replacement.
