Basic Operation

Press the POWER ON-OFF button on the top control or on the remote control, and a message "Power off?" will appear on the screen.

Press the POWER ON-OFF button again to turn off the projector. The POWER indicator will start to blink red, and the cooling fans will keep operating. (You can select the level of fun quietness and rotation speed. See page 48.) At this time you can disconnect the AC power cord even if the fans are still running.

TO MAINTAIN THE LIFE OF THE LAMP, ONCE YOU TURN THE PROJECTOR ON, WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT OFF.

When the projector has cooled down enough to be turned on again, the POWER indicator will be red.

The message will disappear after 4 seconds.

✔Note:

• When the On start function is on, this projector will be turned on automatically by connecting the AC power cord to an AC outlet. (p45)

• Do not operate the projector continuously without rest. Continuous use may result in shortening the lamp life. Turn off the projector and give it a rest about an hour in every 24 hours.

• The running speed of cooling fans is changed according to the temperature inside the projector.

• Do not put the projector in a case before the projector is cooled enough.

• If the WARNING indicator blinks or emits a red light, see "Warning Indicator" on page 49.

• While the POWER indicator is blinking, lamp is being cooled down and the projector cannot be turned on. Wait until the POWER indicator becomes red to be turned on again.

• For assisting the cooling fans' operation, the projector is equipped with a large capacitor. While the projector is operating, the capacitor charges electricity. When disconnecting the AC plug from AC outlet, cooling fans start to run about 1 minutes until the capacitor is discharged.
