IMPORTANT:
• The projector should be unplugged if it will not to be used for an
extended period.
• To turn off the image and sound briefly (five minutes or less), use
the "Mute" button instead of turning the projector off and on.
• The projector will display a black, blue image or logo if no input
signal is present.
• Do not turn the projector off and then immediately back on. The
projector needs to cool for 60 seconds before it can be restarted.
CAUTION
Avoid displaying stationary images for a prolonged period
of time.
Doing so can result in these images being temporarily sus-
tained on the surface of the LCD panel.
If this should happen, continue to use your projector. The
static background from previous images will disappear.
CAUTION
Do not turn off the main power or unplug the power cable
from the wall outlet under any one of the following circum-
stances. Doing so can cause damage to the projector:
• Immediately after the power cable is plugged into the wall
outlet (when the POWER indicator has not changed to a
steady orange glow).
• Immediately after the cooling fan stops working (The cool-
ing fan continues to work for 60 seconds after the pro-
jector is turned off with the POWER button).
