Troubleshooting
You cannot turn on the projector.
❏Make sure the power cord is connected, then wait a moment for the P power light to turn orange before pressing the P Power button.
❏If you’ve set the Key Lock (see page 5), the control panel buttons are disabled; you must use the remote control to turn on the projector.
❏If you’ve set the Child Lock, use the remote control or press and hold the P Power button on the projector for at least 3 seconds to turn it on (see page 5).
No picture appears on the screen or you see the message No Signal displayed.
❏Press the Source button on the projector or one of the Source buttons on the remote control to select the correct input source. Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after pressing the button.
❏Press the Blank button on the remote control to make sure the picture hasn’t been turned off temporarily.
❏Check that the P power light is green, not flashing, and the lens cover is off.
❏The projector may be in standby mode. If the P power light is orange, press the P Power button to turn the projector back on.

You’re using a computer and no picture appears on the screen.
First, make sure the output signal from your computer is in a compatible format (see page 2). If you still see no picture, check additional computer settings as described below.
If you’re using Windows:
❏Press the function key that lets you display on an external
monitor. It’s often labeled with an icon such as , but it may also be labeled CRT/LCD. You may have to hold down the Fn key while pressing it. Check your laptop’s manual or online help.
On most systems, the key lets you toggle between the LCD screen and the projector, or display on both at the same time. Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after pressing the key.
❏If the function key doesn’t let you display simultaneously on both screens, you might need to use the Display utility in the Windows® Control Panel to make sure that both the LCD screen and external monitor port are enabled. From the Control Panel, open the Display utility. In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Settings tab, then click Advanced. The method for adjusting the setting varies from computer to computer; you may need to click a Monitor tab, then make sure the external Monitor port is set as your primary display or enabled. See your computer manual or online help for details.
