When the projector has cooled down enough to be turned on again, the POWER indicator stops blinking and turns to steady red. Then you can unplug the AC power cord.
The message disappears after 4 seconds.
Note:
• You cannot turn on the projector during the cooling period with the POWER indicator blinking red. Turn it on after the POWER indicator stops blinking and turns to steady red.
• When the On start function is on, the projector is turned on automatically by connecting the AC power cord to an AC outlet. (See page 41 for the On start function.)
• Do not operate the projector continuously without rest. Continuous use may result in shortening the lamp life. Turn off the projector and rest it for about an hour in every 24 hours.
• The running speed of cooling fans is changed according to the temperature inside the projector.
• If the WARNING indicator blinks or turns red, see “Warning Indicator” on page 45.

This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and properly. Improper handling may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.
Lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no guarantee
of the same life for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their life in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if the LAMP REPLACE indicator lights
up, replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down. (Follow carefully the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual.) Continuous use of the lamp with the LAMP REPLACE indicator lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.
A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours of use as its
lifetime draws to an end. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in which the projector and lamp are being used.
IF A LAMP EXPLODES, THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN.
If a lamp explodes, disconnect the projector’s AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an authorized service station for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp. Additionally, check carefully to ensure that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out from the cooling air circulation holes. Any broken shards found should be cleaned up carefully. No one should check the inside of the projector except those who are authorized trained technicians and who are familiar with projector service. Inappropriate attempts to service the unit by anyone, especially those who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of broken glass.
