Epson ELPAP10 Wireless LAN Module for Projectors

Caution

  • This unit should only be used for Epson projectors.
    If it is installed on another device such as a computer, it may result in computer failure, damage, or malfunctions.

  • Do not disassemble or remodel this unit.
    This may result in burns.

  • This unit is only for indoor use.

  • To comply with RF exposure compliance requirements, a distance of at least 20 cm must be maintained at all times between the antenna of this unit and people in the vicinity.

Precautions

Notes on Handling and Storage

  • Do not store in locations with high temperatures or high humidity. It may in particular be damaged or deformed if left in a vehicle with the windows shut, or placed in locations with unusually high temperatures for extended periods such as in direct sunlight.
  • Do not get it wet. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
  • Do not use near microwave ovens. Wireless communication may be interrupted by electromagnetic interference generated by microwave ovens.
  • Do not drop it, subject it to shocks, or place heavy objects on it.

Frequency Precautions

The frequency band for this unit is 2.4 GHz. This frequency range is the same frequency bandwidth as industrial, scientific, and medical devices such as microwave ovens and mobile unit identification (RF-ID) systems (licensed premises radio stations and unlicensed specified low-power radio stations) used in factory production lines. Before using this unit, check that there are no radio stations for mobile unit identification or specified low-power radio station premises nearby. In the event that this unit should interfere electromagnetically with the premises of a radio station used for mobile unit recognition, cease use immediately and stop generating the electromagnetic field. Contact your local dealer or the nearest address provided in the “Support and Service Guide” supplied with the projector if this unit interferes electromagnetically with a special low-power radio station used for mobile unit identification or causes similar problems.

This document provides safety instructions and describes the specifications. Read this document carefully before use to ensure your safety and product performance.
Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is then passed down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically discontinues transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure. This equipment is restricted to indoor operation only.

U.S. FCC Notices

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

  1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
  • Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
  • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used for connection to host computers and/or peripherals in order to meet FCC emission limits. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 7.8 inches (20 cm) or more away from the person’s body
