Viewing 3D images

To view 3D content, you must first connect a 3D-compatible video device to one of the HDMI ports on your projector. You will also need a pair of Epson® (part number V12H548006) or Epson-compatible RF 3D active shutter glasses.

3. Slide the power switch on your 3D glasses to the On position.
   

Note: If the glasses don’t automatically display 3D content, you may need to pair them with the projector. Move the glasses within 10 feet (3 m) of the projector, then press and hold the Pairing button on the 3D glasses for at least 3 seconds. The status light on the glasses will alternately flash green and red, then remain green for 10 seconds if pairing is successful.

Bluetooth Safety and Specifications

Contains Bluetooth module model: DBUB-E207

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.
