your monitor in order to learn about it’s many features. Cautions related to the safe use of the
device and important information which will help you to be able to use this device for a long time
is in the Appendix. Once again, thank you for purchasing this monitor and please enjoy using it.
This monitor uses a lamp to project the picture onto the screen. Before using this monitor,
please read the safety cautions and information about this monitor which are summarized below.
1. When the power is turned on, the warming up commences
This monitor uses a lamp to project the picture onto the screen. Once the lamp has warmed up,
you can enjoy the pictures at their full brightness. What happens when the power is turned on is
explained below. Immediately after the power is turned on, since the lamp has not had time to
warm up, the picture is displayed only dimly on the screen. As the lamp warms up, the picture
becomes brighter. It takes approximately one minute for the lamp to warm up to it’s normal
operating temperature. There are 2 LED indicators on the front panel of the monitor that can be
used as a guide. When the POWER button is pressed, the LAMP LED indicator blinks in orange
for approximately 1 minute at approximately every 2 seconds, and then goes out.
Note: It is impossible to turn the power off during this period. After 1 or more minutes have
passed, you can turn off the power.
2. Cooling the inside of the monitor and the lamp
Cooling is also performed while the monitor is being shut down.
When the POWER button is pressed to turn off the power, the following operations are
performed. When the monitor is turned off, the picture on the screen disappears. Once the
screen is dark, cooling is performed for approximately 90 seconds. When the cooling is being
performed, the LAMP LED indicator on the front panel blinks in orange at approximately every
3 seconds. The monitor can not be operated while the cooling is being performed. After
the cooling has been performed for 90 seconds, the power is turned off. Do not remove
the electrical plug until after the cooling process has completed. If the electrical plug is
removed before the cooling process has completed, the internal circuits and lamp may overheat
leading to the life of the lamp being shortened and the possibility of malfunctions.
Do not block the ventilation holes.
Do not block the ventilation holes while the power is turned on. Do not block the air intake holes
behind the speaker grills.
3. The lamp is a consumable item

replaceable item. The lamp must be recycled. For a detailed explanation on how to recycle the
lamp, refer to the Appendix and the instructions that are included with the replacement lamp kit.
