of the black bars may appear on the 4:3 image
screen. Consult your dealer in this case.
Caution:
• The lamp can’t be lit again for one minute after
turned off for safety purpose. It will take another
one minute for the STATUS indicator to go out. If
you want to turn on the projector again, wait until
the indicator goes out, and then press the POWER
button.
• The exhaust fans rotate faster as the temperature
around the projector rises.
• When the temperature around the projector rises
high, the sign “Temperature!!” blinks red on the
screen. If the temperature stays high, the lamp will
go out automatically.
Important:
• Do not display a still picture for a long time
because the afterimages may persist on the screen.
When connecting to a laptop computer:
When this projector is connected to a laptop
computer, there may be times when images may not
be projected. When it occurs, set the computer so that
it can output signals externally. The procedure varies
across computers in use. See the instruction manual
of your computer.
