3.Press the POWER (ON/STAND BY) button on the projector cabinet or the POWER ON button on the remote control for 1 second.

The POWER indicator will turn to green and the projector will become ready to use.

After you turn on your projector, ensure that the computer or video source is turned on and that your lens cap is removed.

NOTE: When no signal is available, a blue screen is displayed at the factory default.

When the projector displays a blue or black screen, the projector will automatically switch to the Eco mode.

The projector will return to the Normal mode once a signal is connected.

NOTE: If you turn on the projector immediately after the lamp is turned off or when the temperature is high, the fans run without displaying an image for some time and then the projector will display the image.

CAUTION:

The projector cannot be turned off for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is blinking green. Doing so could cause premature lamp failure.
