When a warning message appears on the projection screen, or when the POWER/STANDBY, LIGHT, and TEMP indicators are lit or flashing in a pattern other than those shown above, it means that a projector error has occurred. For details, see “Error Indicators and Warning Messages” (below).
Error Indicators and Warning Messages
Warning messages and indicators let you know what the problem is when a projector error occurs. When an error occurs, wait until the fan stops before unplugging the AC power cord. If you unplug the AC power cord while the fan is still operating, an error may occur when you plug the AC power cord back in.
