If the projector overheats, check the following two points.

 

 

 

 

 

• Is the setting-up location well ventilated?

•Is the air filter blocked with dust?

If the air filter is dirty, it should be cleaned.

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 projector continues to overheat even after the above points have been checked, or if the indicators show a problem when the power is turned back on, stop using the projector, turn off the main power switch, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, and contact your dealer.

The cool-down

(lamp cooling operation) period lasts for

 

 

 

 

 

 

about 5 minutes. The actual time will vary depending on factors

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

such as the ambient air temperature.

•The [STANDBY/ON] buttons on both the projector's control panel and the remote control will not operate while the indicator is flashing red. When the indicator changes to flashing orange (after approximately 90 seconds), the [STANDBY/ON] buttons on the projector's control panel and the remote control will then work.

•If the main power switch at the rear of the projector is turned off before cool-down is complete, wait for the lamp to cool down (normally about one hour is required) before turning the power back on again.

•If the projector is not operating properly even though the indicators are all showing normal, refer

to "When the Indicators Provide No Help" on the following page.

• If an indicator is showing a status which does not appear in the previous tables, contact your dealer.
