Solutions to Projector Power or Shut-Off Problems

If the projector does not come on when you press the power button or it shuts off unexpectedly, try the
following solutions:

• Make sure the power cord is securely connected to the projector and to a working electrical outlet.

• The projector's buttons may be locked for security. Unlock the buttons or use the projector remote

control to turn on the projector.

• If the projector's laser shuts off unexpectedly, it may have entered standby mode after a period of

inactivity. Press the power button to wake the projector and adjust the

Sleep Mode

setting to change

the sleep interval.

• If the projector is installed on a lighting track, disconnect it from the lighting track and plug it into a

power outlet to make sure it is working.

• If the projector's light source shuts off, the status light is flashing blue, and the temp light is orange, the

projector has overheated and shut off. Check the solutions for this light status.

• The power cord may be defective. Try another power cord. If that doesn't work, disconnect the cord

and contact Epson.
