f
The power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> lights in green and the image is soon projected on the screen.
Attention
f
Always remove the lens cover before starting the projection. Projecting continuously while the lens cover is attached may cause the lens
cover to heat up and result in a fire.
Note
f
A warm-up period of up to approximately five minutes may be necessary until an image is displayed when the projector is switched on at
around 0 °C (32 °F).
The temperature indicator <TEMP> lights during the warm-up period. When the warm-up is completed, the temperature indicator <TEMP>
turns off and the projection starts. Refer to “When an indicator lights up” (
page 218) for the indicator status display.
f
If the operating environment temperature is low and warm-up takes more than five minutes, the projector will judge that a problem has
occurred and the power will automatically be set to standby mode. In such case, increase the operating environment temperature to 0 °C
(32 °F) or higher, turn off the main power, and then turn on the power again.
f
It may take longer to start the projection when the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu
→
[STANDBY MODE] is set to [ECO] compared to the time
when it is set to [NORMAL].
f
If the power was turned off at the previous use by pressing the <OFF> side of the <MAIN POWER> switch or by using the breaker directly
while projecting, the power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> lights up in green and an image is projected after a while when the power
is turned on by pressing the <ON> side of the <MAIN POWER> switch or by turning the breaker on with the power plug connected to the
outlet. This applies only when the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu
→
[INITIAL STARTUP] is set to [LAST MEMORY].
f
The light output will decrease to approximately 1/3 when using the projector with AC 100 V to AC 120 V.
