40 Using the Projector
Turning On Your Equipment
Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up and
connected correctly, as described in Chapter 1. Then turn on your
projector, as described below, followed by any equipment you’ve
connected to it. You can turn on your computer and video equipment
in any order, but if you have more than one computer or video source
connected, you may have to switch to the desired source as described
on page 51.
Turning On the Projector
Follow these steps to turn on the projector:
1. Connect one end of the power cord to the projector’s power inlet.
2. Connect the other end to a grounded electrical outlet. The power
light on the projector’s control panel starts flashing orange and
then stays orange, indicating that the projector is receiving power
but not yet turned on.
3. Remove the lens cap.
4. Press the red Power button on top of the projector (or the remote
control) to turn on the projector. (If you are using the remote,
make sure it is turned on. See page 48 for more information.)
The power light flashes green as the projector warms up, and the
projection lamp comes on in about 30 seconds. The power light
stays green, and you may see a blue screen with the message
No Signal displayed. This is normal.

Never look into the lens when
the lamp is on. This can
damage your eyes, and is
especially dangerous for
children.
