General Controls
Before you turn on your projector, ensure that the computer or video source
is turned on and that your lens cap is removed.

become ready to use.
NOTE: To turn the projector on by plugging in the power cable, use the
menu and enable the Auto Start feature. (See page E-32.)
NOTE: Regardless of the lamp mode setting, the lamp always stays in
High-Bright mode for 3 minutes after the projector is turned on. If you
have selected the Eco mode, the STATUS indicator blinks green and the
lamp will change to Eco mode in 3 minutes.
NOTE: Immediately after turning on the projector, screen flicker may
occur. This is not a fault. Wait for 3 to 5 minutes until the lamp lighting is
stabilized.
