When the projector has cooled down enough, the
POWER indicator stops blinking and you can turn on
the projector.
Note:
• When the Direct on function is set to
On
, the projector
will be turned on automatically by connecting the AC
power cord to an AC outlet (p.51).
• The running speed of cooling fans is changed according
to the temperature inside the projector.
• Do not put the projector in a case before the projector is
cooled enough.
• If the WARNING indicator blinks or lights red, see
“WARNING indicator” on page 60.
• While the POWER indicator is blinking, the lamp is being
cooled down and the projector cannot be turned on. Wait
until the POWER indicator stops blinking to turn on the
projector again.
• For assisting the cooling fans' operation, the projector
is equipped with a large capacitor. While the projector
is operating, the capacitor charges electricity. When
disconnecting the AC plug from AC outlet, cooling fans
start to run 1 minute until the capacitor is discharged.
• The projector can be turned on after the POWER
indicator turns red. The waiting time to restart will be
shortened when the normal power-off processing for fan
cooling is completed, compared with the time the AC
power cord is immediately unplugged after the power-
off.
DO NOT OPERATE THE PROJECTOR
CONTINUOUSLY WITHOUT REST.
CONTINUOUS USE MAY RESULT IN
SHORTENING THE LAMP LIFE. TURN OFF THE
PROJECTOR AND LET IT STAND FOR ABOUT
AN HOUR IN EVERY 24 HOURS.
Basic Operation
You can disconnect the power cord from the
wall outlet or turn off the breaker even during
projection without pressing the ON/STAND-BY
button.
Direct Off Function
Note:
• When using the Direct OFF function, you
can not restart the projector immediately
after the power is disconnected. If the
external power supply is suddenly cut
off, the fans stop immediately. The lamp
remains high temperature and needs to be
cooled.
