Turning On The Projector - Epson EB-U50 User Manual

Turning On the Projector

Turn on the computer or video equipment you want to use after you turn on
the projector.
a
Connect the power cord to the projector's power inlet and plug it into
an electrical outlet.
The projector's power indicator turns blue. This indicates that the
projector is receiving power, but is not yet turned on (it is in standby
mode).
b
Press the power button on the projector or remote control to turn on
the projector.
The projector beeps and the status indicator flashes blue as the
projector warms up. Once the projector is warmed up, the status
indicator stops flashing and turns blue.
Try the following if you do not see a projected image.
• Turn on the connected computer or video device.
• Change the screen output from the computer when using a laptop
computer.
• Insert a DVD or other video media, and press play (if necessary).
• Press the [Source Search] button on the remote control to detect the source.
• Press the button for the desired video source on the remote control.
• If the Home screen is displayed, select the source you want to project.
Warning
• Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is on. This can damage your
eyes and is especially dangerous for children.
• When turning on the projector at a distance using the remote control, make sure
there is no one looking into the lens.
• During projection, do not block the light from the projector with a book or other
objects. If the light from the projector is blocked, the area on which the light
shines becomes hot which could cause it to melt, burn, or start a fire. Also, the
lens may get hot due to the reflected light which could cause the projector to
malfunction. To stop projection, use the A/V Mute function, or turn off the
projector.
• A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the projector's light
source. If the lamp is subjected to vibrations or shocks, or if it is used for an
overly extended length of time, the lamp may break or it may not turn on. If the
lamp explodes, gases may escape and small fragments of glass may be scattered
which could cause an injury. Be sure to observe the instructions below.
• Do not disassemble or damage the lamp or subject it to any impacts.
• Do not bring your face close to the projector while it is in use.
• Particular care should be taken when the projector is installed to a ceiling, as
small pieces of glass may fall down when the lamp cover is removed. When
cleaning the projector or replacing the lamp yourself, be very careful not to
allow such pieces of glass to get into the eyes or mouth.
If the lamp breaks, ventilate the area immediately, and contact a doctor if any
fragments of broken glass are inhaled or get into the eyes or mouth.
