During cooling, the ON/STANDBY indicator flashes. While the indicator is flashing, the power can not be turned back on. At this point of time, it does not matter even if you unplug the power cord.

Note

•The projector consumes about 10W of power in standby. We recommend that you unplug the power cord if you will not be using the projector for an extended period.

PRECAUTION

•If you turn the power on before cooling is complete, give the lamp time (about 5 minutes) to cool before plugging it back in. If the lamp overheats, it may fail to light.

LCD Panels

LCD panels wear out. In order to prolong the lifetime of your LCD panel, take the following precautions.

•In order to extend the lifetime of the LCD panel, always turn off the power when not in use, and make sure that the lamp is off. Keeping the lamp off is also very effective at saving electricity.

•If the air filter becomes dirty and clogged, the projector’s internal temperature will rise, shortening the lifetime of the LCD panel and causing malfunctions. Clean the air filter from time to time p.46 , and replace it periodically. Contact the store where you purchased your projector, or your local Service Station for replacement air filters.

Notes

•When the projector is turned on the next time, the start menu does not appear upon startup. However, if [Reset all] is executed from the Default setting 2 menu p.41 , the start menu will be displayed the next time when the power is turned on.

•The language can also be set via the Display setting menu p.37 and Lamp power via the Default setting 1 menu p.40 .
