101) NOTE: • Turning the power back on directly after it is turned off (by direct power off) while an image is being projected can result in malfunction. Be sure to wait at least 1 second before turning the power back on. • Keep the lens cap off the lens while the projector’s power is on. If the lens cap is on, it could be warped due to high temperature. • If one of the following things happens, the projector will not turn on. - If the internal temperature of the projector is too high, the projector detects abnormal high temperature. In this condition the projector will not turn on to protect the internal system. If this happens, wait for the projector’s internal components to cool down. - When the lamp reaches its end of usable life, the projector will not turn on. If this happens, replace the lamp. - If the STATUS indicator lights orange with the power button pressed, it means that the [CONTROL PANEL LOCK] is turned on. Cancel the lock by turning it off. (→ page 106) - If the lamp fails to light, and if the STATUS indicator flashes on and off in a cycle of six times, wait a full minute and then turn on the power. • While the POWER indicator is blinking blue in short cycles, the power cannot be turned off by using the power button. • Immediately after turning on the projector, screen flicker may occur. This is normal. Wait 3 to 5 minutes until the lamp lighting is stabilized. • When the projector is turned on, it may take some time before the lamp light becomes bright. • If you turn on the projector immediately after the lamp is turned off or when the temperature is high, the fans run without display- ing an image for some time and then the projector will display the image.

Parts of the projector may become temporarily heated if the projector is turned off with the POWER button or if the AC power supply is disconnected during normal projector operation. Use caution when picking up the projector. NOTE: • While the POWER indicator is blinking blue in short cycles, the power cannot be turned off. • You cannot turn off the power for 60 seconds immediately after turning it on and displaying an image. • Wait at least 20 minutes after the power is turned on (after starting to project) before turning the AC power off while an image is being projected or while the cooling fan is running. • Do not unplug the power cord from the projector or from the power outlet while an image is being projected. Doing so could deteriorate the projector’s AC input connector or the power plug’s contact. To turn off the AC power while an image is being projected, use the projector’s main power switch, the power strip’s switch, the breaker, etc. • Do not disconnect the AC power supply to the projector within 10 seconds of making adjustment or setting changes and closing the menu.

Finally, turn on your PC. Failure to do so may not activate the digital output of the graphics card resulting in no picture being displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC. • Some graphics cards have both analog RGB (15-pin D-Sub) and DVI (or DFP) outputs. Use of the 15-pin D-Sub connector may result in no picture being displayed from the digital output of the graphics card. • Do not disconnect the DVI-to-HDMI cable while the projector is running. If the signal cable has been disconnected and then reconnected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC. Downloaded From projector-manual.com NEC Manuals...
