PROJECTING AN IMAGE (BASIC OPERATION)

This section describes how to turn on the projector and to project a
picture onto the screen.

Turning on the Projector

NOTE:
• When plugging in or unplugging the supplied power cable, make sure that the

main power switch is pushed to the off[O] position. Failure to do so may cause
damage to the projector.

• The projector has two power switches: main power switch and POWER button

(POWER ON and OFF on the remote control)

• The projector has a feature to prevent itself from being used by unauthorized

individuals. To use this feature, register your PC card as a protect key. See
"Security" in "Projector Options" on page E-51 for more details.

To turn on the main power to the projector, press the Main Power switch
to the ON position ( I ).

Before you turn on your projector, ensure that the computer or video
source is turned on and that your lens cap is removed.
Only after you press the ON/STAND BY button on the projector cabinet
or POWER ON button on the remote control for a minimum of 2 sec-
onds will the power indicator turn to green and the projector become
ready to use.

Note on Startup screen (Menu Language Select screen)

When you first turn on the projector, you will get the Startup screen. This
screen gives you the opportunity to select one of the seven menu lan-
guages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Swedish and Japa-
nese.
To select a menu language, follow these steps:

1. Use the SELECT

button to select one of the seven languages

for the menu.

SELECT

2. Press the ENTER button to execute the selection.

3. The Basic menu will be displayed in the language you have selected.

To close the menu, press the CANCEL button.

After this has been done, you can proceed to the advanced menu op-
eration.
If you want, you can select the menu language later. See "Language"
on page E-43.

NOTE: To turn the projector on by plugging in the power cable, first turn on the
Main Power switch to ON and use the menu and enable the "Auto Start" feature.
(See page E-45.) Immediately after turning on the projector, screen flicker may
occur. This is not a fault. Wait 3 to 5 minutes until the lamp lighting is stabilized.

When the Lamp mode is set to Eco, the Lamp indicator will light green.
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 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.
