Important Safety Instructions

Follow these safety instructions to avoid damage to the product and serious or fatal bodily injury:

Setup and operation

• Do not install the projector in locations exposed to high humidity and dust, such as on a kitchen counter, in the kitchen, or near a humidifier, or in locations exposed to oil smoke or steam. Doing so could cause fire or electric shock. 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
• Attention: Install the current breaker for 13 A to 20 A to the wiring in the building that supplies electricity to the projector. Do not connect other devices to the wiring where the current breaker is installed, and use the wiring only for the projector (EB-PU2120W/EB-PU2220B).
• Do not install the projector in a location that does not allow air to circulate, such as on a shelf or in a box.
• If an error occurs in the projector, turn off the power and unplug the projector immediately. Continuing to use the projector could result in an electric shock, fire, or visual impairment. Contact Epson support.
• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• The projector and its accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away from small children to avoid any risk of suffocation.
• Do not look into the lens when the projector is on. The bright light can damage your eyes. Avoid standing in front of the projector so the bright light does not shine into your eyes.
• Possibly hazardous optical radiation emitted from this product. Do not direct or reflect the laser light toward people or reflective objects. Do not look at the operating light source or expose your skin to it. Eye and/or skin injury may result if these instructions are not followed.
• Do not look into the lens using optical devices, such as a magnifying glass or telescope. This could cause visual impairment.
• Do not apply optical devices, such as a magnifying glass or reflector, to the projected image. Using the projector in this way may result in physical harm, fire, or an accident.
• When turning on the projector at a distance using the remote control, make sure no one is looking into the lens.
• Do not place the projector where the cord can be walked on. This may result in fraying or damage to the plug.
• Do not operate the projector in a closed-in cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Do not block the slots and openings in the projector case. They provide ventilation and prevent the projector from overheating. Do not operate the projector on a sofa, rug, or other soft surface, or set it on top of loose papers. Do not cover the projector with a blanket, curtain, or tablecloth. If you are setting up the projector near a wall, leave at least 7.9 inches (20 cm) of space between the wall and the projector.
• Do not allow small children to operate the projector. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
• Before using the projector, make sure there is nothing in the area that could reflect the projected image.
• If the projector is mounted on a ceiling or wall, it should be installed by qualified technicians using mounting hardware designed for use with this projector.
• When installing or adjusting a ceiling or wall mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants. This may cause the projector case to crack and the projector to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the mount and could damage the projector.
• Do not use the projector near water, sources of heat, high-voltage electrical wires, or sources of magnetic fields.
• Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. Use of a different power source may result in fire or electric shock. If you are not sure of the power available, consult your dealer or power company.
• Place the projector near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
• Take the following precautions when handling the plug: Do not hold the plug with wet hands. Do not insert the plug into a dusty outlet. Insert the plug firmly into the outlet. Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting the plug; always be sure to hold the plug when disconnecting it. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or power strips. Failure to comply with these precautions could result in fire or electric shock.
• Never allow objects of any kind to enter any openings in the projector. Do not leave objects, especially flammable objects, near the projector. Never spill liquid of any kind into the projector.
• Never open any covers on the projector except as specifically explained in this manual. Never attempt to disassemble or modify the projector. Refer all repairs to qualified service personnel.
• Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: if it does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions, or exhibits a distinct change in performance; if smoke, strange odors, or strange noises come from the projector; if the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed; if liquid or foreign objects get inside the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water; if it has been dropped or the housing has been damaged.
• Do not touch the plug during an electrical storm. Otherwise, you may receive an electric shock.
• Do not use the projector where it may be exposed to rain, water, or excessive humidity.
• Do not use the projector where flammable or explosive gases may be present.
• Do not use or store the projector or remote control in a hot location, such as near a heater, in direct sunlight, or in a closed vehicle.
• Do not place the source of an open flame, such as a lit candle, on or near the projector.
• Do not block the lens during projection using a book or any other object. This could damage the projector or cause a fire.
• Do not modify the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on top of the power cord or bend, twist, or pull it excessively. Keep the power cord away from hot electrical appliances.
• Always attach the lens cover to the lens when not using the projector to prevent the lens from becoming dirty or damaged.
• If you use the projector in a country other than where you purchased it, use the correct power cord for that country.
• Do not stand on the projector or place heavy objects on it.
• Do not use the projector outside of the required temperature range below:

  32 to 122 °F (0 to 50 °C) at an altitude of 7500 feet (2286 m) or less, and 32 to 113 °F (0 to 45 °C) at an altitude of 7500 to 10000 feet (2287 to 3048 m) with a non-condensing humidity of 20 to 80%.

  Doing so may cause an unstable display and could lead to projector damage. Do not use or store the projector where it may be exposed to sudden changes in temperature.

  Light source brightness automatically dims if the surrounding temperature gets above 104 °F (40 °C) below 7500 feet, or above 95 °F (35 °C) above 7500 feet.

• Do not place anything that can become warped or damaged by heat near the exhaust vents. Do not bring your hands or face close to the vents while projection is in progress. Do not bring your face close to the projector while it is in use.
• Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table.

Maintenance, storage, and transportation

• Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and allow to cool before cleaning. Use a dry cloth (or, for stubborn dirt or stains, a moist cloth that has been wrung dry) for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, any sprays containing flammable gas, or solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner, or benzine.
• Do not open the projector's case. The projector contains a high-powered laser.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the projector. The projector contains a high-power laser component. Serious injury could result.
