detects abnormal high temperature. In this condition the projector will

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 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.
If one of the following things happen, the projector will mute a picture. If it
continues muting for 15 minutes, the projector will go into standby mode.
* Turning on the power with the lens shutter closed.
* Closing the lens shutter during operation.
* Directing the lens downward by more than 60° from level during
operation.
