Checking the Projector’s Lights
If your projector isn’t working correctly, first turn it off, wait for it to
cool, and unplug it. Then plug the power cord back in and turn on
the projector. If this doesn’t solve the problem, check the lights on top
of the projector. They alert you to problems with projector operations.
