The projector will always enter into the [ECO MODE] [ON] condition for 90 seconds immediately after the projector is turned on. The lamp condition will not be affected even when [ECO MODE] is changed within this time period.

After a lapse of 45 seconds from when the projector displays a blue, black or logo screen, [ECO MODE] will automatically switch to [ON]. This is done only when [ECO MODE] is set to [OFF].

If the projector is overheated in [OFF] mode, there may be a case where the [ECO MODE] automatically changes to [ON] mode to protect the projector. When the projector is in [ON] mode, the picture brightness decreases. When the projector comes back to normal temperature, the [ECO MODE] returns to [OFF] mode.

Thermometer symbol [ ] indicates the [ECO MODE] is automatically set to [ON] mode because the internal temperature is too high.
