Basic Operation

Press the POWER ON-OFF button on the front panel or on the remote
control.
The POWER indicator turns into orange, and it continues while the
cooling fans are operating (for about 4 minutes). The LCD Projection
Monitor can be turned on again during this period or after the indicator
turns into red.

When the LCD Projection Monitor has cooled down enough, the
POWER indicator emits red light. Then you can disconnect the AC
power cord.

TO MAINTAIN THE LIFE OF THE LAMP, ONCE YOU TURN
YOUR LCD PROJECTION MONITOR ON, WAIT AT LEAST
5 MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT OFF.
DO NOT DISCONNECT AC POWER CORD WHILE
COOLING FANS ARE RUNNING OR BEFORE POWER
INDICATOR EMITS RED LIGHT. OTHERWISE IT WILL
RESULT IN SHORTENING LAMP LIFE.

NOTE:

● Do not use the LCD Projection Monitor for more than 24 hours continuously. Turn off the

LCD Projection Monitor at least once in 24 hours and give it a rest. Continuous use may
result in shortening the lamp life.

● This LCD Projection Monitor monitors internal temperature and automatically controls the

running speed of the cooling fans.

● If the WARNING indicator blinks or emits red light, see “Warning Indicator” on page 45,

51.

Press the POWER ON-OFF button on the front panel of the LCD
Projection Monitor or the remote control. The cooling fans start
to operate. The POWER indicator blinks green rapidly for 15
seconds.
