If you’ve connected the viewer to your computer, it’s best to delete files using the Link2 software, or data may not be removed completely. Check the Recycle Bin

(Windows) or Trash (Macintosh) and empty it to clear any files.

You cannot copy files from an external USB device.

Connect the AC adapter to the viewer. If the external USB device has its own power adapter, connect it too.

You cannot delete a file.

Cause

The file is locked.

What to do

Unlock the file and then delete it.

See “Locking Files and Folders”

(page 53) and “Deleting Files and

Folders” (page 51).

You cannot use the buttons on the viewer.

Cause What to do

The buttons are deactivated because the power switch is set to

Hold

Slide the power switch back to the middle position.

You cannot set/unset a folder as private.

Cause What to do

The password is incorrect.

If you forget the password, enter

5555, 7777, then 3333 to reset it to the default (0000).

Safety Instructions

Read all these instructions before using the viewer, and keep this guide handy for later reference. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the viewer and any options.

Using the Viewer

Caution:

Do not drop the viewer or expose it to any impact, to avoid damaging the internal hard disk and losing stored files. Do not format the hard disk from your computer, or the viewer will be unusable.

Epson is not responsible for backing up or recovering data. It is strongly recommended that you make your own backup files.

❍

Follow all warnings and instructions marked on this product.

Use only AC adapter model A351H and lithium-ion battery model D111A with this product.

When connecting the viewer to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.

❍

Do not insert objects into the slots or openings on the viewer.

Do not touch the components inside the viewer unless instructed to do so in the documentation. Never force the viewer’s components into place. Although the viewer is designed to be sturdy, rough handling can damage it.

Never spill liquid onto the viewer.

If the viewer emits unusual noises, odors, or smoke, cancel the current operation and turn it off immediately.

Remove the battery and disconnect the AC adapter from the viewer, then unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet. Contact Epson.

Do not use your headphones for long periods at high volume as this can cause permanent hearing loss.

Do not use your headphones while operating a vehicle or performing an activity that requires attention to external sound. When wearing your headphones, we strongly recommend setting the volume so that you can hear your normal speaking voice.

Do not stand the device upright as it may fall over and be damaged.

Do not use the viewer after moving it between extreme temperatures, which may cause condensation to form on electronic parts.

Notices and Specifications 71

❍

If you use the viewer in places where the use of electronic devices is limited, such as in airplanes or hospitals, follow all instructions in those places.

Do not use the viewer outdoors during a thunderstorm.

To prevent fire or electric shock, do not cover the viewer with a blanket or other covering that may give off a static electric shock.

To prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose the viewer or its options to rain or moisture.

To prevent fire or explosion, do not use the viewer where flammable or volatile gas is stored.

Using the Battery

Caution:

There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by the incorrect type. Use the specified new batteries only. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

❍

If battery acid gets into your eyes or on your skin, immediately rinse the affected area thoroughly with water and seek medical treatment. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical treatment immediately.

Use only an Epson lithium-ion battery for the viewer according to the instructions in this manual.

❍

Use only AC adapter model A351H and the viewer

Storing the Battery

❍

When not using this device for a long period, remove the battery from the viewer and store it separately.

Do not store batteries where the temperature or humidity is very high.

Store batteries out of children’s reach.

Disposing of the Battery

Before disposing of the battery, make sure you discharge it completely.

Warning:

Be sure to securely cover the end of the battery with tape to prevent combustion or explosion when disposing.

Do not incinerate or dispose of the battery in fire.

Position the viewer’s power cord so that it will not be stepped on or run over.

Do not place any objects on the power cord and the AC adapter.

Keep the power cord straight at the ends and at the points where it enters the transformer.
