ff (AC 100 V - 240 V 50 Hz/60 Hz)

2)Press the <ON> side of the <MAIN POWER> switch to turn on the power.

ff The power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> lights/flashes in red, and the projector enters the standby mode.

3)Press the power <v/b> button.

ff The power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> lights in green and the image is soon projected on the screen.

Note

ff If the projector is switched on at around 0 °C (32 °F), a warm-up period of approximately five minutes may be necessary until an image is displayed.

The temperature indicator <TEMP> lights during the warm-up period. When the warm-up is completed, the temperature indicator <TEMP> turns off and the projection starts. Refer to “Managing the indicated problems” (x page 109) for the indicator status.

ff If the operating environment temperature is low and warm-up takes more than five minutes, the projector will judge that a problem has occurred and the power will automatically be set to standby mode. If this happens, increase the operating environment temperature to 0 °C (32 °F) or higher, turn off the main power, and then turn on the power again.

ff If the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [ECO MANAGEMENT] → [STANDBY MODE] (x page 71) is set to [ECO], there may be a delay in displaying when the power is turned on compared to when the setting is [NORMAL].

ff When the power is turned or an input signal is switched, you may here a high-frequency driving sound. This is not a malfunction.

ff If the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [INITIAL STARTUP] (x page 74) is set to [LAST MEMORY] and the power is turned off by pressing the <OFF> side of the <MAIN POWER> switch or by using the breaker directly while projecting at the last time of use, the power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> lights in green and projection starts after a while when the power is turned on by pressing the <ON> side of the <MAIN POWER> switch with the power plug connected to the outlet, or when the breaker is turned on.
