Starting up the projector

1.Plug the power cord into the projector and

into a wall socket. Turn on the wall socket switch (where fitted). Check that the POWER indicator light on the projector lights orange after power has been applied.

Please use the original accessories (e.g. power cable) only with the device to avoid possible dangers such as electric shock and fire.

2. Press POWER on the projector or remote control to start the projector and a start up tone sounds. The POWER indicator light flashes green and stays green when the projector is on.

The start up procedure takes about 30 seconds. In the later stage of start up, a startup logo is projected.

(If necessary) Rotate the focus ring to adjust the image clearness.

To turn off the ring tone, see "Turning off the Power on/off Ring Tone" on page 42 for details.

If the projector is still hot from previous activity, it will run the cooling fan for approximately 90 seconds before energizing the lamp.
