If the projector is switched on at around 0 °C (32 °F), a warm-up period of approximately five minutes may be necessary until an image is
displayed.
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” (

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. If this happens, increase the operating environment temperature to 0 °C
(32 °F) or higher, turn off the main power, and then turn on the power again.
