Remote Control Information

■

You can operate the document camera by remote control via a line-of-sight infrared (IR) receiver at the front and rear of the document camera. The document camera may not respond to remote control commands under the following conditions:

■ There is an object between the remote control IR emitter and the IR receiver on the document camera.

Ambient light is too bright.

Certain types of fluorescent lighting are used.

A strong light source shines into the IR receiver.

Other equipment that emits infrared energy, such as a radiant room heater, is in the room.

■

These conditions commonly cause problems for most infrared-controlled equipment. Try the following:

■

The remote control batteries may be low on power; replace them.

Dim the ambient lighting and/or turn off any fluorescent lights.

Close any window coverings and/or move the document camera out of direct sunlight.

Warranty

Epson America, Inc. Limited Warranty

What is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the first end user customer of the EPSON product enclosed with this limited warranty statement that the product, if purchased and used in the United States or

Canada, conforms to the manufacturer's specifications and will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase (except that the warranty period is 90 days for lamps). For warranty service, you must provide proof of the date of original purchase.

What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: Should your EPSON product prove defective during the warranty period, please bring the product securely packaged in its original container or an equivalent, along with proof of the date of original purchase, to your EPSON Dealer or EPSON Customer Care

Center. Epson will, at its option, repair or replace on an exchange basis the defective unit, without charge for parts or labor. When warranty service involves the exchange of the product or of a part, the item replaced becomes

EPSON property. The exchanged product or part may be new or previously repaired to the EPSON standard of quality. Exchange or replacement products or parts assume the remaining warranty period of the product covered by this limited warranty. However, each replacement lamp carries the limited 90-day warranty stated above.

What This Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty covers only normal use in the United States and Canada. For lamps, 24-hour-per-day use causes unusual strain and is not considered normal use. This warranty is not transferable and will not apply to products purchased from an end user. This warranty does not cover consumables (e.g., fuses), other than lamps. EPSON is not responsible for warranty service should the EPSON label or logo or the rating label or serial number be removed or should the product fail to be properly maintained or fail to function properly as a result of misuse, abuse, improper installation, neglect, improper shipping, damage caused by disasters such as fire, flood, and lightning, improper electrical current, software problems, interaction with non-EPSON products, or service other than by an

EPSON Authorized Servicer. Postage, insurance, or shipping costs incurred in presenting your EPSON product for carry-in warranty service are your responsibility. If a claimed defect cannot be identified or reproduced in service, you will be held responsible for costs incurred.

THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IF THESE LAWS

APPLY, THEN ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE

LIMITED TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD IDENTIFIED ABOVE.

UNLESS STATED HEREIN, ANY STATEMENTS OR

REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY ANY OTHER PERSON OR FIRM

ARE VOID. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS WRITTEN

WARRANTY, NEITHER EPSON AMERICA, INC. NOR ITS

AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, INCONVENIENCE,

OR DAMAGE, INCLUDING DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, RESULTING FROM THE USE OR

INABILITY TO USE THE EPSON PRODUCT, WHETHER

RESULTING FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER

LEGAL THEORY. IF THE REMEDY ABOVE FAILS, EPSON’S

ENTIRE LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO A REFUND OF THE

PRICE PAID FOR THE EPSON PRODUCT COVERED BY THIS

LIMITED WARRANTY.

In Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions.

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
