Checking Projector Status

If your projector isn’t working correctly, first turn it off, wait for it to cool (the Power light stops flashing orange), and unplug it. Then plug the power cord back in and turn on the projector. If this doesn’t solve the problem, check the lights on top of the projector.

What To Do When the Lights Flash

The lights on top of the projector indicate the projector’s status.
