Press the MAIN POWER switch on the projector to the ON position.
The power indicator will illuminate red and the projector will switch to
standby mode.
Press the POWER button on either the top of the projector or on the
remote control unit.
The power indicator will alternate
between green and orange.
The power indicator will illuminate green and a picture will be projected
onto the screen after about 15 seconds.
Press the POWER button on either the top of the projector or on the
remote control unit.
The power indicator will illuminate orange and the projector will switch to
standby mode.
Wait for a while (approximately 90 seconds) until the cooling fan stops
operating. (When the fan stops, the power indicator will illuminate red.)
Press the MAIN POWER switch on the projector to the OFF position.
The power indicator will switch off and the power supply will be turned off.
NOTE:
If the power is turned off using the POWER button, the cooling fan will continue to operate (for approximately 90 seconds) while the
inside of the projector is still at a high temperature. Do not turn the MAIN POWER switch to the OFF position, disconnect the power
cord plug from the wall socket or shut off the mains power supply until the cooling fan stops operating.
If not using the projector for long periods of time, turn the MAIN POWER switch at the front of the projector to the OFF position.
If the POWER switch is accidentally pressed while the projector is being used, the picture may not be displayed if the power supply is
immediately turned back on again.
The REMOTE POWER function may cause the operation of the POWER button on the remote control unit to be disabled temporarily.
For details about this function, refer to page 29.
If the MAIN POWER switch has not been turned off, the projector will still draw approximately 8 W of power, even when the POWER
button has been turned off and the fan has stopped.
There may be cases where the lamp does not turn on straight away. In such cases, the projector will try to turn the lamp on again after
30 seconds have passed. (During this time, the power indicator will alternately flash green and orange.)
The projector is equipped with a lens retracting function which will cause the lens to be retracted automatically when the power is
turned off. However, the lens will not then return to the previously adjusted position even if the power is turned back on again. If you
do not wish this function to operate, turn the function setting off while referring to “Using the lens retracting function” on page 31.
