Epson LS500W User Manual page 158

• Do not mount the projector on a ceiling or wall.
• Do not install or place the projector vertically. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
• Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table or on a surface that is unable to support
its weight. Otherwise, it could fall or topple causing an accident and injury.
• When installing the projector in a high position, take measures to prevent it from falling by using wires
to ensure safety in an emergency, such as an earthquake, and to prevent accidents. If the projector is
not installed correctly, the projector could fall. This may result in injury or accidents. Contact your
dealer to carry out the installation work.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not place the projector where the cord can be walked on. This may result in fraying or damage to
the plug.
• 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 block the slots and openings in the projector case. They provide ventilation and prevent the
projector from overheating. If the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a
fire. Do not place the projector in locations subject to high temperatures, such as near heating
equipment. 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 operate the projector in a closed-in cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
• 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.
