Operations

Connecting the power cord

1

 Insert the power cord connector 

into the AC IN socket of the 

projector.

2

 Insert the power cord plug into a 

wall or other power outlet.

Turning the power on

1

 Open the lens cover.

Slide the lens cover to open. 

If it is left closed, the power will not be turned on.

2

 Turn on the main power switch.

The ON/STANDBY indicator will change to orange, 
indicating standby mode.

3

 Press the ON/STANDBY button.

The power is turned on, and the ON/STANDBY 
indicator lights in green. After a moment, the start-up 
screen appears.

 CAUTION

Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on. The strong light from the lamp may cause 

damage to your eyesight.

Do not block the air intake or exhaust. Doing so could cause a fire due to internal overheating.

Do not place your hands, face, or other objects near the air exhaust, the lamp cover or  

the bottom of the unit. Doing so could cause burns, deform/break the object.

Turning the power on and off

Operations

 Notes

The start-up screen will disappear after a moment. You can dismiss the start-up screen 
before this by performing any operation. You can also configure the start-up screen not 
to appear via the 

Display setting menu 

p.40

.

The first time you use the projector after purchase, after the start-up screen disappears, 
the start menu is displayed 

p.28

.

When [

Key lock] is [On], the operation buttons of the projector do not work 

p.45

.

When [

Password] is [On], enter password then the start-up screen is displayed after the 

Password entry screen disappears 

p.35

Do not touch the lens directly with your hand. 
If fingerprints or stains are left on the projection lens surface, they may interfere with the 
projector’s ability to project images on the screen.
If the lens cover is closed while in use, after a moment the power will turn off, then the 
projector goes into standby mode.

Turning the power off

1

 Press the ON/STANDBY button.

A message appears on the screen, confirming that you wish to shut off the power. This 
message will disappear after a moment. (This operation is no longer valid after the 
message disappears.)

2

 Press the ON/STANDBY button again.

When the setting of beep sound is [

On], the projector beeps, and the screen 

disappears, but the internal cooling fan continues to operate. Then, the projector goes 
into standby mode.
During cooling, the ON/STANDBY indicator flashes. While the 
indicator is flashing, the power can not be turned back on. At this 
point of time, it does not matter even if you unplug the power cord.

3

 Close the lens cover.

After use, close the lens cover.

 Note

The projector consumes about 10W of power in standby. We recommend that you 
unplug the power cord if you will not be using the projector for an extended period.

 Precaution

If the power cord is unplugged before cooling is complete or the main power is turned 
off, give the lamp time (about 5 minutes) to cool before plugging it back in. If the lamp 
overheats, it may fail to light.
