Image Size and Projection Distance
The distance between the projector and the screen determines the basic size of the projected image, as shown below. The diagrams show approximately how big your image will be, based on where you set up the projector. Because other adjustments such as those made with the zoom ringalso affect the size of the image, the numbers shown in the illustration should be considered as general guidelines, not exact measurements.

PowerLite S5 Series

Turning On the Projector
Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up and connected correctly. Then turn on your projector, as described below. If you turn on your connected computer or video equipment before starting the projector, the projector automatically detects and displays the image source. If you turn on the projector first, or have multiple pieces of equipment connected, you may have to select the image source manually. See Adjusting the Image and Presentation on page 7. Follow these steps to plug in and turn on the projector: 1. Open the A/V Mute slide (lens cover).
2. Connect one end of the power cord to the projectors power inlet.

1. Press in the tab to remove the battery cover.

Cleaning the Lens

Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust. To remove dirt or smears on the lens, use lens-cleaning paper. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.
2. Remove the old batteries, then insert the new ones as shown.
Caution: Do not use glass cleaner to clean the lens; this will damage the lens coating.
Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
Your projector includes an air filter to ensure the best performance. If dust collects on the air filter or vent on the bottom of the projector, clean them as described below. Dust clogs prevent proper ventilation and can cause overheating and damage the projector. 3. Replace the battery cover. Make sure it clicks into place. When the filter and vent are clogged, the projector displays the message The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent, and clean or replace the air filter. To clean the air filter and air intake vent, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the projector, allow it to cool down, and unplug the power cord. 2. To clean the filter and vent, Epson recommends using a small vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office equipment. If you dont have one, gently clean them using a very soft brush (such as an artists paintbrush). You can remove the air filter to clean both sides. Before you clean the projector case, turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. To remove dirt or dust, wipe the outside with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a mild detergent. Then wipe the case. Caution: Do not use wax, alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other chemicals. These can damage the case.

Air filter Vent

Cleaning the Projector Case
If the dirt is difficult to remove or if the filter is torn, replace it. Contact your dealer or call Epson at (800) 463-7766 to obtain a new one (part number V13H134A13).

This chapter includes safety instructions and other important information

about your projector.

Important Safety Instructions
Follow these safety instructions when setting up and using the projector:
Do not look into the lens when the projector is on. The bright light can damage your eyes. Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. Do not operate the projector on its side, or while tilted to one side. Do not tilt the projector forward or back at a greater angle than that specified for vertical keystone correction (see page 96). If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it should be installed by qualified technicians using mounting hardware designed for use with this projector. Do not stand on the projector or place heavy objects on it. Do not use the projector where it may be exposed to rain, water, or excessive humidity. Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Never spill liquid of any kind into the projector. Do not use the projector where it may be exposed to excessive dust or smoke. Never push objects of any kind through the cabinet slots. Do not use or store the projector or remote control in a hot location, such as near a heater, in direct sunlight, or in a closed vehicle. Do not block the slots and openings in the projector case. They provide ventilation and prevent the projector from overheating. Do not operate the projector on a sofa, rug, or other soft surface, or set it on top of loose papers, which could block vents underneath your projector.

Do not operate the projector in a closed-in cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided. If you are using two or more projectors side-by-side, leave at least 2 feet (60 cm) of space between the projectors to allow for proper ventilation. You may need to clean the air filter and air vents. A clogged air filter or air vent can block ventilation needed to cool the projector and cause overheating. Do not use the projector outside of the required temperature range of 41 to 95 F (5 to 35 C). Doing so may cause an unstable display and could lead to projector damage. 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. Unplug the projector during lightning storms or when it will not be used for extended periods. Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: If it does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions, or exhibits a distinct change in performance. If smoke, strange odors, or strange noises come from the projector. If the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed. If liquid or foreign objects get inside the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water. If it has been dropped or the housing has been damaged. Except as specifically explained in this Users Guide, do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. If you are not sure of the power available, consult your dealer or power company. If you use the projector in a country other than where you purchased it, use the correct power cord for that country. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or power strips. This can cause fire or electric shock. Take the following precautions when handling the plug: Do not hold the plug with wet hands. Do not insert the plug into an outlet with dust present. Insert the plug firmly into the outlet. Do not place the projector where the cord can be walked on. The lamp(s) in this product contain mercury. Please consult your state and local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in the trash.
If the lamp breaks, ventilate the room to prevent gases contained in the lamp from being inhaled or coming in contact with the eyes or mouth. If the projector is mounted overhead and the lamp breaks, be careful to prevent pieces of glass from falling into your eyes when you open the lamp cover.
WARNING: The cords included with this product contain chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (Provided in accordance with Proposition 65 in Cal. Health & Safety Code 25249.5 et seq.)

Remote Control Information
You can operate the projector by remote control via a line-of-sight infrared (IR) receiver at the front and rear of the projector. The projector 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 projector. 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 controls 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 projector out of direct sunlight. Turn off other equipment that emits infrared energy.
