When selecting a location for your EPSON EB-W06, note the following points:

Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface or install it using a compatible mount.

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.

Place the projector so it squarely faces the screen, not at an angle. If you cannot install it squarely, use the keystone correction controls. For the best quality, adjust the installation position to achieve the correct image size and shape.

Warning:

Do not cover the air intake or exhaust vents, as the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.

Do not use or store the projector in dusty or dirty locations, which can degrade image quality or clog the air filter.

Do not install the projector on an unstable surface. It could fall or topple, causing an accident and injury.
