Projector Placement
Your ultra-short throw projector is designed to be installed on a wall (with a wall mount) or vertically on a
table (with a table mount) to create an interactive tabletop workspace.
You can also place the projector on a flat surface such as a desk or table to project in a portable setup.
Note: A Touch Unit is optional for the BrightLink 1480Fi and must be installed for finger touch operation.
Finger touch operation is available only if the projector is installed on a wall (with a wall mount) and
projecting from the front of the wall, or vertically on a table (with a table mount) and projecting from the
top of the table.
Keep these considerations in mind as you select a projector location:

• Follow the instructions in the online Installation Guide to install the projector.
• Leave plenty of space around and under the projector for ventilation, and do not place it on top of or
next to anything that could block the vents.
• If you are using the projector at altitudes above 4921 feet (1500 m), set the High Altitude Mode
setting to On in the projector's Installation menu to ensure the projector's internal temperature is
regulated properly.
• Position the projector within reach of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
• If installing vertically on a table, a commercially available mount compatible with the VESA Mounting
Interface Standard (100 x 100 mm) is required.
• If installing on a wall, the wall mount (V12HA06A05) is required.
• If the projector is not mounted, place it on a sturdy, level surface.
• For finger touch, make sure the projection surface is flat, smooth, and unwarped with no more than
0.2 inch (5 mm) of unevenness in any direction.
35
• Place the projector so it squarely faces the screen, not at an angle. If you cannot install the projector
squarely facing the screen, correct any resulting image distortion using the projector controls.
• Try not to set up the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to
smoke from fires or tobacco smoke.

Parent topic: Projector Placement
Projection Distance
The distance at which you place the projector from the screen determines the approximate size of the
image. The image size increases the farther the projector is from the screen, but can vary depending on
the zoom factor, aspect ratio, and other settings.
Refer to the tables in the online Installation Guide to determine approximately how far to place the
projector from the screen based on the size of the projected image. (Conversion figures may have been
rounded up or down.) You can also use the Projection Distance Calculator here (U.S.), here (Canada),
or here (Caribbean).

Password Security Types
You can set up these types of password security using one shared password:
• Power On Protection password prevents anyone from using the projector without first entering a
password.
• User's Logo password prevents anyone from changing the custom screen the projector can display
when it turns on. The presence of the custom screen discourages theft by identifying the projector’s
owner.
• Network password prevents anyone from changing the network settings in the projector menus.
• Schedule password prevents anyone from changing the projector's time or schedule settings.
• Interactive password prevents anyone from changing the projector's interactive settings.

Touch Unit Safety Instructions

The Touch Unit enables finger touch interactivity with your projector. Do not connect it to any other
projectors or devices.
A built-in, high-power laser is emitted from the laser diffusion ports on the bottom of the Touch Unit.
Follow these precautions when using the Touch Unit and finger touch interactivity:
• Children using finger touch interactivity should always be accompanied by an adult.
• Never disassemble or modify the Touch Unit. Never open any cases on the projector or Touch Unit.
Electrical voltages inside the projector can cause severe injury.
223
• Do not look into the laser diffusion ports on the back of the Touch Unit. The laser can damage your
eyes. Extra care should be taken when children are present.
• Do not allow the laser light from the Touch Unit to pass through or be reflected by any optical devices,
such as a magnifying glass or mirror. This could cause personal injury or fire.
• Do not view the laser light from the Touch Unit using an optical device such as an eye loupe,
magnifying glass, or microscope, especially within 2.75 inches (70 mm) of the laser diffusion ports.
This could damage your eyes.
• Unplug the projector from the electrical outlet and refer all repairs to qualified service personnel if any
problems occur with the Touch Unit. Continued use of the Touch Unit may result in fire or accidents,
and can also damage your eyes.
The Touch Unit is a Class 1 laser product that complies with IEC/EN60825-1:2007. The labels indicating
the Class 3B laser product and warnings are located in the following area on the Touch Unit:

Projector Maintenance
Your projector needs little maintenance to keep working at its best.
You may need to clean the lens periodically, and clean the air filter and air vents to prevent the projector
from overheating due to blocked ventilation.
The only parts you should replace are the air filter, pen batteries and tips, and remote control batteries. If
any other part needs replacing, contact Epson or an authorized Epson servicer.
This projector uses a sealed laser light source which does not need servicing and cannot be replaced.
Warning: Before cleaning any part of the projector, turn it off and unplug the power cord. Never open
any cover on the projector, except as specifically explained in this manual. Dangerous electrical voltages
in the projector can injure you severely.
Warning: Do not try to service this product yourself, except as specifically explained in this manual.
Refer all other servicing to qualified servicers.

• To remove stubborn smudges, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the
lens. Do not spray any liquid directly on the lens.
Warning: Do not use a lens cleaner that contains flammable gas. The high heat generated by the
projector may cause a fire.
Caution: Do not use glass cleaner or any harsh materials to clean the lens and do not subject the lens
to any impacts; you may damage it. Do not use canned air, or the gases may leave a residue. Avoid
touching the lens with your bare hands to prevent fingerprints on or damage to the lens surface.

Air Filter and Vent Maintenance

Regular filter maintenance is important to maintaining your projector. Your Epson projector is designed
with an easily accessible, user-replaceable filter to protect your projector and make regular maintenance
simple. Filter maintenance intervals will depend on the environment.
322
If regular maintenance is not performed, your Epson projector will notify you when the temperature
inside the projector has reached a high level. Do not wait until this warning appears to maintain your
projector filter as prolonged exposure to high temperatures may reduce the life of your projector or laser.
Damage due to the failure to properly maintain the projector or its filter may not be covered by the
projector's Limited Warranty.

• If you use the projector tilted at an angle of more than 3°, it could be damaged and cause an accident.
• 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 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.
• Failure to install the ceiling mount and projector may cause the projector to fall. After installing the
specific Epson mount that supports your projector, make sure you secure the mount to all of the
projector's ceiling mount fixing points. Also, secure the projector and the mounts using wire that is
strong enough to hold their weight.
• Do not install in locations where salt damage could occur, or in locations subject to corrosive gas such
as sulphuric gas from hot springs. Otherwise, corrosion could cause the projector to fall. It could also
cause the projector to malfunction.
• 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
• 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.
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
• 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.
381
• 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 19.7 inches (50 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. Do not place any containers of liquid on top of the unit. Never
spill liquid of any kind into the projector.

When using multiple projectors at the same time (BrightLink 1485Fi):
32 to 95 °F (0 to 35 °C) at an altitude of 7500 feet (2286 m) or less, or 32 to 86 °F (0 to 30 °C) at an
altitude of 7500 to 10000 feet (2286 m to 3048 m)
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.
• Do not use or store the projector in places where it might be subjected to high and low extremes of
temperature.
• Do not store the projector outside of the required temperature range of 14 to 140 °F (–10 to 60 °C) or
in direct sunlight for long periods of time. Doing so may cause damage to the case.
• 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.
• Before you move the projector, make sure its power is turned off, the plug is disconnected from the
outlet, and all cables are disconnected. Fire or electric shock may result.
• Do not place the source of an open flame, such as a lit candle, on or near the projector.
• During projection, do not block the light from the projector with a book or other objects. If the light from
the projector is blocked, the area on which the light shines becomes hot which could cause it to melt,
burn, or start a fire. Also, the lens may get hot due to the reflected light which could cause the
projector to malfunction. To stop projection, use the A/V Mute function, or turn off the projector.
• 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. Do not use the power
cord if it is damaged. Fire or electric shock may result. Contact your dealer if the cable becomes
damaged.
• Always lower the volume before turning off the projector. Turning on the projector with the volume too
high can damage your ears.
• When a still image is displayed for a long time, image retention may occur on the screen. Do not
display images in the exact same position for long periods.
• Always attach the lens cover to the lens when not using the projector to prevent the lens from
becoming dirty or damaged.
• Do not store the interactive pens or the batteries in a hot location, such as near a heater, in direct
sunlight, or in a closed vehicle. Thermal deformation or technical malfunction may occur, which may
result in a fire.
384
• Remove the batteries from the interactive pens if you will not be using the pens for a long time.
• Incorrect battery usage may cause leakage of battery fluid and battery rupture, which could result in
fire, injury, or corrosion. When replacing batteries, take the following precautions: insert batteries so
that the polarities are correct; do not use batteries of different types or mix old and new batteries; do
not use any batteries other than those specified; if batteries leak, wipe away battery fluid with a soft
cloth; if battery fluid gets on your hands, wash them immediately; replace the batteries as soon as they
run out; remove the batteries if you will not be using the projector for a long period of time; do not
expose batteries to heat or flame and do not put them in water; dispose of used batteries according to
local regulations; keep batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries are choking hazards and are
very dangerous if swallowed.

Binding Arbitration and Class Waiver
1. DISPUTES, BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND
CLASS ARBITRATIONS
1.1 Disputes. The terms of this Section 1 shall apply to all Disputes between you and Epson. The term
"Dispute" is meant to have the broadest meaning permissible under law and includes any dispute, claim,
controversy or action between you and Epson arising out of or relating to this Agreement, Epson
branded products (hardware and including any related software), or other transaction involving you and
Epson, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation,
ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. "DISPUTE" DOES NOT INCLUDE IP CLAIMS, or more
specifically, a claim or cause of action for (a) trademark infringement or dilution, (b) patent infringement,
(c) copyright infringement or misuse, or (d) trade secret misappropriation (an "IP Claim"). You and Epson
also agree, notwithstanding Section 1.6,that a court, not an arbitrator, may decide if a claim or cause of
action is for an IP Claim.
1.2 Binding Arbitration. You and Epson agree that all Disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration
according to this Agreement. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JUDGE
OR JURY IN A COURT PROCEEDING AND YOUR GROUNDS FOR APPEAL ARE LIMITED.
Pursuant to this Agreement, binding arbitration shall be administered by JAMS, a nationally recognized
arbitration authority, pursuant to its code of procedures then in effect for consumer related disputes, but
excluding any rules that permit joinder or class actions in arbitration (for more detail on procedure, see
Section 1.6 below). You and Epson understand and agree that (a) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C.
§1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 1, (b) this Agreement
memorializes a transaction in interstate commerce, and (c) this Section 1 shall survive termination of this
Agreement.
1.3 Pre-Arbitration Steps and Notice. Before submitting a claim for arbitration, you and Epson agree to
try, for sixty (60) days, to resolve any Dispute informally. If Epson and you do not reach an agreement to
resolve the Dispute within the sixty (60) days), you or Epson may commence an arbitration. Notice to
Epson must be addressed to: Epson America, Inc., ATTN: Legal Department, 3131 Katella Ave., Los
Alamitos, CA 90720 (the "Epson Address"). The Dispute Notice to you will be sent to the most recent
address Epson has in its records for you. For this reason, it is important to notify us if your address
changes by emailing us at EAILegal@ea.epson.com or writing us at the Epson Address above. Notice of
the Dispute shall include the sender's name, address and contact information, the facts giving rise to the
Dispute, and the relief requested (the "Dispute Notice"). Following receipt of the Dispute Notice, Epson
and you agree to act in good faith to resolve the Dispute before commencing arbitration.
1.4 Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small
claims court of your state or municipality if the action is within that court's jurisdiction and is pending only
in that court.
391
1.5 WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND EPSON AGREE THAT
EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL
CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR
REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE
CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, CLASS-WIDE
ARBITRATIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTIONS, AND ANY OTHER PROCEEDING
WHERE SOMEONE ACTS IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ARE NOT ALLOWED.
ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION, AN
ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY'S CLAIMS
WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION
PROCEEDING.
1.6 Arbitration Procedure. If you or Epson commences arbitration, the arbitration shall be governed by
the rules of JAMS that are in effect when the arbitration is filed, excluding any rules that permit arbitration
on a class or representative basis (the "JAMS Rules"), available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling
1-800-352-5267, and under the rules set forth in this Agreement. All Disputes shall be resolved by a
single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the
selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator, and not
any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising
out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement,
including any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. Notwithstanding this broad
delegation of authority to the arbitrator, a court may determine the limited question of whether a claim or
cause of action is for an IP Claim, which is excluded from the definition of "Disputes" in Section 1.1
above. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under
law or in equity. The arbitrator may award you the same damages as a court could, and may award
declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent
necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. In some instances, the costs of
arbitration can exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration
than in court. The arbitrator's award is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of
competent jurisdiction.
You may choose to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone. Arbitration hearings not conducted by
telephone shall take place in a location reasonably accessible from your primary residence, or in Orange
County, California, at your option.
a) Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding. If either you or Epson decides to arbitrate a Dispute, both parties
agree to the following procedure:
(i) Write a Demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Dispute and the amount
of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at
http://www.jamsadr.com ("Demand for Arbitration").
(ii) Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to: JAMS, 500 North
State College Blvd., Suite 600 Orange, CA 92868, U.S.A.
392
(iii) Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party (same address as the Dispute
Notice), or as otherwise agreed by the parties.
b) Hearing Format. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made shall not be disclosed
to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Epson is entitled.
The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during
the arbitration.
c) Arbitration Fees. Epson shall pay, or (if applicable) reimburse you for, all JAMS filings and arbitrator
fees for any arbitration commenced (by you or Epson) pursuant to provisions of this Agreement.
d) Award in Your Favor. For Disputes in which you or Epson seeks $75,000 or less in damages exclusive
of attorney's fees and costs, if the arbitrator's decision results in an award to you in an amount greater
than Epson's last written offer, if any, to settle the Dispute, Epson will: (i) pay you $1,000 or the amount
of the award, whichever is greater; (ii) pay you twice the amount of your reasonable attorney's fees, if
any; and (iii) reimburse you for any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney
reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing the Dispute in arbitration. Except as
agreed upon by you and Epson in writing, the arbitrator shall determine the amount of fees, costs, and
expenses to be paid by Epson pursuant to this Section 1.6d).
e) Attorney's Fees. Epson will not seek its attorney's fees and expenses for any arbitration commenced
involving a Dispute under this Agreement. Your right to attorney's fees and expenses under Section
1.6d) above does not limit your rights to attorney's fees and expenses under applicable law;
notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator may not award duplicative awards of attorney's fees and
expenses.
1.7 Opt-out. You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding, individual
arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this
Agreement by sending a written letter to the Epson Address within thirty (30) days of your assent
to this Agreement (including without limitation the purchase, download, installation of the
Software or other applicable use of Epson Hardware, products and services) that specifies (i)
your name, (ii) your mailing address, and (iii) your request to be excluded from the final, binding
individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in
this Section 1. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all
other terms shall continue to apply, including the requirement to provide notice prior to litigation.
1.8 Amendments to Section 1. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you
and Epson agree that if Epson makes any future amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and
class action waiver provisions (other than a change to Epson's address) in this Agreement, Epson will
obtain your affirmative assent to the applicable amendment. If you do not affirmatively assent to the
applicable amendment, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between the parties in
accordance with the language of this Section 1 (or resolve disputes as provided for in Section 1.7, if you
timely elected to opt-out when you first assented to this Agreement).
393
1.9 Severability. If any provision in this Section 1 is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be
severed with the remainder of this Agreement remaining in full force and effect. The foregoing shall not
apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions as provided in Section 1.5. This
means that if Section 1.5 is found to be unenforceable, the entire Section 1 (but only Section 1)
shall be null and void.
