After you turn on your projector, ensure that the com-
puter or video source is turned on and that your lens cap
is removed.
NOTE: When no signal is available, the NEC logo, blue (default),
or black screen will be displayed. When the projector displays the
NEC logo, a blue or black screen, the projector will automatically
switch to [ECO MODE].
The projector will return ECO MODE to its previous setting once an
active signal is connected.
