Installation Precautions

Warning Attachment to the projector should be performed by qualified technicians using only approved mounting equipment. Follow the instructions in the Quick Setup Guide when installing the Interactive Unit. Incomplete or incorrect installation could cause the product to fall and cause

personal injury or property damage. If you apply adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use lubricants or oils on the wall plate, the housing may crack and cause the product or the

projector to fall, resulting in personal injury or property damage. Confirm on a regular basis that the screws have not become loose. If you find any loose screws, tighten them firmly. Otherwise, the product or wall plate may fall and

cause personal injury or property damage. Handle the USB cable carefully to avoid fire or electric shock. Observe the following precautions when handling:

- Do not handle the cable with wet hands. - Do not use a cable that is damaged or modified. - Do not pull the cable with too much force when routing it or connecting it to a computer.

Do not apply excessive force to this product when adjusting the projector. Otherwise, the product may cause personal injury.

Caution Do not install the product in a location where there is excessive humidity or dust, near cooking or heating appliances, or in a location exposed to smoke or steam. Fire or electric shock may result.

Usage Precautions

Warning Water infiltration or deterioration and breakage of the product housing could result in electric shock. Never open any covers on the product except as specifically explained in this User's Guide. Never attempt to disassemble or modify the product (including consumables).

Refer all repairs to qualified service personnel. Electrical voltages inside the product can cause severe injury. Disconnect the USB cable and refer all repairs to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

- If smoke, strange odors or strange noises come from the product. - If liquid or foreign objects get inside the product. - If the product has been dropped or the housing has been damaged. Continuing to use the product under these conditions may result in fire or electric shock.

Caution Use a dry cloth for cleaning (or, for stubborn dirt or stains, a damp cloth that has been wrung dry). Do not use liquid, aerosol cleaners, or solvents such as alcohol,

thinner, or benzine. Do not put anything that exceeds the weight of two Easy Interactive Pens in the pen tray.

Battery Precautions

Warning If liquid leaking from the batteries gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Wash them immediately with clean water and consult a doctor. If liquid from the battery enters your mouth, rinse immediately with plenty of water and consult a doctor. If liquid from the battery comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash immediately with water. Battery liquid may cause skin damage. Do not leave the batteries or the Easy Interactive Pen inside a vehicle with the windows closed, in places where they will be exposed to direct sunlight, or in places that

may become extremely hot. Thermal deformation or technical malfunction may occur, which could result in fire. Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries are choking hazards and are very dangerous if swallowed. Insert batteries so that the polarities (+ and -) are correctly aligned, to avoid leakage, overheating, or explosion. Do not mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types. Doing so may cause leakage, overheating, or explosion. Replace batteries as soon as they run out. If a dead battery is left inside the pen for long periods, gas emitted from the battery may cause leakage, overheating, explosion,

or damage to the device. Remove the batteries if you will not be using the pens for a long period of time.

Connecting the Cables 14

Using the Easy Interactive Pen The Easy Interactive Pen included with your Interactive Unit turns almost any wall or board into an interactive whiteboard. This chapter tells you how to calibrate your system and use the pens.

Calibration sets up the connection between your computer and the Easy Interactive Pen. This simple process ensures that your computer can accurately detect the position of the pen on the projection surface.

You need to calibrate before using the pen for the first time, or if you change the resolution on your computer or connect a different computer. You can use either pen for calibration.

Checking the Connection Status Before you can calibrate, you need to make sure the Easy Interactive Driver is activated on your computer. Make sure the pen icon is displayed in the system tray on your taskbar (Windows) or in the Dock (Mac OS X). It may take a minute for the icon to appear after you turn on the computer and projector.

If the pen icon is displayed Easy Interactive Driver is activated. You can now perform calibration.

If a red ^ is displayed on the pen icon The computer and Interactive Unit are not connected correctly. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable.

If the pen icon is not displayed Perform the following operation.

Windows Select or Start > All Programs or Programs > Epson Projector > Easy Interactive Driver.

Mac OS X Open the Applications folder, and then select the Easy Interactive Driver icon. If you need more help, s p.21.

a Select Exit from the pen icon on the taskbar to remove it from the taskbar.

Performing Calibration Two types of calibration are available:

Normal, which is faster and appropriate for most situations (25 calibration points)

Advanced, which is recommended when you are projecting very detailed images and need higher accuracy (49 calibration points)

You may need to recalibrate if you change the projector's aspect ratio or if you change the following settings: Auto Setup, Resolution, Tracking, Sync., Position, Aspect, Keystone, or Zoom.

a To start calibration, do one of the following.

Windows

Click the pen icon in the system tray on your taskbar (lower right corner of your screen), then select Calibrate (Normal) or Calibrate (Advanced).

Mac OS X

Calibrating 16

Click the pen icon in the Dock, select Calibrate from the menu bar, then select Calibrate (Normal) or Calibrate (Advanced).

b After you read the message about calibration, click OK.

A flashing circle is displayed in the upper left corner of your projected image.

c Touch the center of the circle with the tip of the pen.

The circle stops flashing. You see another circle on the right.

d Touch the center of the circle again, then repeat. When you get to the end of the row, the next circle appears at the left edge of a new row.

a For the most accurate calibration, make sure you hold the pen

at an angle to the projection surface and touch the center of the circle.

Make sure you are not blocking the signal between the pen and the interactive receiver.

Do not press the button on the pen while calibrating. If you make a mistake or want to stop calibrating, press [Esc]

on your computer keyboard. Then restart the calibration process as described above.

e Continue until all of the circles stop flashing.

Calibrating 17

The Easy Interactive Driver allows you to use the pen as a mouse. If you installed interactive whiteboard software, you can also use the pens to write or draw on the projected image.

You can use the interactive whiteboard function by installing the optional Easy Interactive Tools. You can download Easy Interactive Tools from the Epson website at http://www.epson.com.

Follow these tips to use the pen as a mouse:

For best performance, hold the pen at a slight angle (like a normal pen), rather than perpendicular to the board.
