Troubleshooting
Indicators keep you informed about the current operational status of the projector. The following
shows what the indicators look like when operation is normal.
When a warning message appears on the projection screen, or when the POWER/STANDBY, LIGHT,
and TEMP indicators are lit or flashing in a pattern other than those shown above, it means that a
projector error has occurred. For details, see “Error Indicators and Warning Messages” (below).
Warning messages and indicators let you know what the problem is when a projector error occurs.
When an error occurs, wait until the fan stops before unplugging the AC power cord. If you unplug the
AC power cord while the fan is still operating, an error may occur when you plug the AC power cord
back in.
