During cooling, the LAMP indicator flashes. In this state, the power cannot be
turned back on. In addition, unplugging the power cord in this state will shorten
the life of the lamp.

After the LAMP indicator goes off, the cooling fan continues to operate for a
short while, in order to expel excess internal heat. If you are in a hurry, there is
no problem with unplugging the power cord in this state.

In standby
Note
• The projector consumes about 6W of power in standby (models equipped with PC card
slot consume about 18W). We recommend that you unplug the power cord if you will not
be using the projector for an extended period.
PRECAUTIONS
• Before unplugging the power cord, make sure that the LAMP indicator is off. Unplugging
the power cord and cutting off the power while the projector is running or being cooled
will shorten the life of the lamp. However, please unplug the power cord if the
projector locks up or acts abnormally.
• If the power cord was unplugged before cooling was complete, give the lamp sufficient
time to cool before plugging it back in. If the lamp overheats it may fail to light, and its
lifetime will be shortened.
LCD Panels
LCD panels wear out. In order to prolong the lifetime of your LCD panel, take the
following precautions.
• In order to extend the lifetime of the LCD panel, always turn off the power when not in
use, and make sure that the lamp is off. Keeping the lamp off is also very effective at
saving electricity.
• If the air filter becomes dirty and clogged, the projector’s internal temperature will rise,
shortening the lifetime of the LCD panel and causing malfunctions. Clean the air filter
from time to time
p.56
, and replace it periodically. Contact the store where you
purchased your projector, or your local Service Station for replacement air filters.
