NOTE:
If the power is turned off using the POWER button, the cooling fan will continue to operate (for approximately 90 seconds) while the inside of the projector is still at a high temperature. Do not turn the MAIN POWER switch to the OFF position, disconnect the power cord plug from the wall socket or shut off the mains power supply until the cooling fan stops operating.
If not using the projector for long periods of time, turn the MAIN POWER switch at the front of the projector to the OFF position.
If the POWER switch is accidentally turned off while the projector is being used, wait a while for the lamp to cool down before turning the power back on again. If you turn the power back on immediately, it will shorten the operating life of the lamp.
The REMOTE POWER function may cause the operation of the POWER button on the remote control unit to be disabled temporarily. For details about this function, refer to page 29.
If the MAIN POWER switch has not been turned off, the projector will still draw approximately 7 W of power, even when the POWER button has been turned off and the fan has stopped.
There may be cases where the lamp does not turn on straight away. In such cases, the projector will try to turn the lamp on again after 30 seconds have passed. (During this time, the power indicator will alternately flash green and orange.)
The projector is equipped with a lens retracting function which will cause the lens to be retracted automatically when the power is turned off. However, the lens will not then return to the previously adjusted position even if the power is turned back on again. If you do not wish this function to operate, turn the function setting off while referring to “Using the lens retracting function” on page 31.
A tinkling sound may be heard while the power indicator is turned off, but this is not a sign of a malfunction.
