•During this period of 2 minutes in the standby mode, the intake fan and exhaust fan rotate to cool the lamp.
•The lamp can’t be lit again for 1 minute after turning off the projector for safety purpose. It will take another 1 minute for the STATUS indicator to go out. If you want to turn on the projector again, wait until the indicator goes out, and then press the POWER button.
•The air outlet fans rotate faster as the temperature around the projector rises.
•Do not unplug the power cord while the STATUS indicator is blinking. Unplugging the power cord immediately after use may cause a lamp breakdown.

When connecting to a notebook computer:
When the projector is connected to a notebook computer, images may not be projected in some cases. In such cases, set the computer so that it can output signals externally. The setting procedure varies depending on the type of the computer. See the instruction manual of your computer.
Example of the setting procedure for external output
Press the [Fn] key and any of the keys [F1] to [F12] at the same time. (The key to be pressed depends on the type of the computer you use.)
Setting of the resolution
If the resolution of the computer doesn’t match with that of the projector, projected images may be obscured. Ensure that their resolutions are the same (see page 45). For the method to change the output resolution of the computer, contact the manufacturer of the computer.
