Note
f While the power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> lights in orange, the fan is running to cool the projector.
f For approximately 15 seconds after the projector is switched off, the indicator does not light up even if the power is switched on. Turn on the
power again after the power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> lights in red.
f The projector consumes power even in standby mode (power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> lit in red). Refer to “Power consumption”
(x page 212) for the power consumption.
f When the projector receives the signal from the remote control, the power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> will blink in the following color
according to the status of the projector.
g When the projector is in projection mode: Green
g When the projector is in standby mode: Orange
However, if the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [STANDBY MODE] is set to [ECO], the indicator will stay lit in red and will not blink if the
projector is in standby mode.
f The power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> will blink slowly in green while the shutter function is in use (shutter: closed), or while the
function of the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [NO SIGNAL LIGHTS-OUT] (x page 134) is operating and the light source is turned off.
f If the power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> is blinking in red, consult your dealer.

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 re.
Note
f A warm-up period of up to approximately ve 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” (x page 182) for the indicator status display.
f If the operating environment temperature is low and warm-up takes more than ve 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 after the power is turned on when the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [STANDBY MODE] is set to
[ECO], compared to when it is set to [NORMAL].
f When the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [INITIAL STARTUP] is set to [LAST MEMORY], and the power was turned off at the previous
use by pressing the <OFF> side of the <MAIN POWER> switch while projecting or with the power breaker, the power indicator <ON (G)/
STANDBY (R)> will light up in green and the image is projected after a while when the power is turned on by pressing <ON> side of the
<MAIN POWER> switch while the power plug is plugged into the outlet, or when the power breaker is turned on.
