When replacing the lamp, check that the lamp and the lamp cover

projector was turned off before the cool-down period had

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

finished the last time the projector was turned off, and it was then

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

turned back on again before one hour had passed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When turning off the projector, wait 2 minutes. After about 2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

minutes, the cooling fan will stop. When the cooling fan stops,

 

 

 

 

 

 

turn off the main power switch and then turn it back on again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the main power switch is turned back on, the projector will

 

 

 

 

 

 

return to its previous state, so press the [STANDBY/ON] button

 

 

 

 

 

 

on either the remote control or the projector's control panel to

 

 

 

 

 

 

turn it back on. If the lamp operating error happens again when

 

 

 

 

 

 

the power is turned back on, remove the lamp and check if the

 

 

 

 

 

 

lamp is broken. If it is not broken, reinstall it. If it is broken,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

replace it. Then turn on the main power switch at the rear of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

projector and press the [STANDBY/ON] button on either the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

remote control or the projector's control panel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the indicators still show a problem, stop using the projector,

 

 

 

 

 

 

turn off the main power switch, disconnect the power cord from

 

 

 

 

 

 

the electrical outlet, and contact your dealer.
