This section describes how to turn on the projector and to project a picture onto the screen.

Turning on the Projector

NOTE:

The projector has two power switches: a main power switch and a (POWER) button (POWER ON and OFF on the remote control).

When plugging in or unplugging the supplied power cable, make sure that the main power switch is pushed to the off () posi- tion. Failure to do so may cause damage to the projector.

The POWER indicator will light orange.

See the Power Indicator section.(page 75)

2.Remove the lens cap

Do not remove the lens cap by pulling on the string. Doing so can cause mechanical damage to the part around the lens.

3.Press the (POWER) button on the projector cabinet or the POWER ON button on the remote control for 1 second.

The POWER indicator will turn to green and the projector will become ready to use.

TIP: When the message “CONTROL PANEL LOCK IS TURNED ON” is displayed, it means that the [CONTROL PANEL LOCK] is turned on. (page 61)

After you turn on your projector, ensure that the computer or video source is turned on and that your lens cap is removed.

NOTE: When no signal is available, the NEC logo, blue (default), or black screen will be displayed. When the projector displays the NEC logo, a blue or black screen, the projector will automatically switch to the ECO mode.

The projector will return to the NORMAL mode once a signal is connected.
