About the TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator

If the temperature inside the projector in- creases, due to blockage of the air vents, or

the setting location, “About the TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator” will blink in the lower left corner of the picture. If the tem- perature keeps on rising, the lamp will turn off and the TEMPERATURE WARNING in- dicator will blink, the cooling fan will run for further 90 seconds, then the power will be

shut off. After “About the” appears, be sure to perform the following measures.

About the

LAMP REPLACEMENT indicator

When the lamp

exceeds 1,900 cumulative hours

of use, “Manual background ” will be displayed on the screen in yellow. When

the cumulative hours of use

reach 2,000, “Manual background ” will change to red, the lamp will au- tomatically turn off and then the projector as well. At this time, the LAMP REPLACEMENT indica- tor will illuminate in red.

If you try to turn on the projector a fourth time without replacing the lamp, the projector will not turn on.

Manual background Info

If the TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator illuminates, and the power turns off, follow the above possible solutions and then wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plugging in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 5 minutes.)

If the power is turned off and then turned on again, as during a brief test, the LAMP REPLACEMENT indica- tor may be triggered, preventing the power from going on. Should this occur, take the power cord out of the wall outlet and plug it back in again.

If you want to clean the air vents during projector operation, be sure to first press Manual background and after the power has turned off and the cooling fan has stopped, then clean the vents.

Do not unplug the power cord after the power has been turned off and while the cooling fan is running. The cooling fan runs for about 90 seconds.
