Important Safety Instructions
Follow these safety instructions when setting up and using your Epson MovieMate:
■Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service this product
yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
■Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous
electrical voltages inside the projector can severely injure you.
■The projector’s accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away from
small children to avoid any risk of suffocation.
■Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on; the bright light can
damage your eyes. Never let children or pets look into the lens when it is on.
■Don’t place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. Also, don’t stand on the
projector or place heavy objects on it.
■Never push objects through the cabinet slots or spill liquid into the projector.
■Do not use the projector near water, or sources of heat or vibration. Do not expose it to
rain or moisture.
■Do not move the unit during playback.
■Do not touch the projection lens with bare hands.
■Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Do not use solvents
such as alcohol, thinner, or benzine. Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before
cleaning.
■Do not use the projector in places where flammable gases or explosive gases may be
present in the atmosphere.
■Do not use the projector in places where there is excessive humidity or dust, near cooking
or heating appliances, or in places where it may come into contact with smoke or steam.
Do not use or store the projector outdoors for an extended length of time.
■Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use. Doing so will result in serious burns.
Before removing the lamp, turn off the projector and wait approximately one hour for the
lamp to cool completely.
■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 to replace the lamp.
■Do not use the lamp after the lamp replacement period has elapsed, because the
possibility of lamp breakage increases. When the lamp replacement message appears,
replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible.
