3. 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:
• The projector has two power switches: a main power switch and a POWER (ON/STAND BY) button (POWER ON and OFF on the
remote control).
• When plugging in or unplugging the supplied power cable, make sure that the main power switch is pushed to the off () po-
sition. Failure to do so may cause damage to the projector.
• The projector has a feature to prevent itself from being used by unauthorized individuals. To use this feature, register a key-
word. ( → page 35)
1. Remove the lens cap.
• Do not try to remove the lens cap by pulling on the
string. Doing so can cause damage.
2. To turn on the main power to the projector, press the
Main Power switch to the on position ( I ).
The projector will go into standby mode. When in stand-
by mode, the POWER indicator will light orange and the
STATUS indicator will light green when [NORMAL] is se-
lected for [STANDBY MODE].
See the POWER Indicator section.( → page 86)
3. Press the ON/STAND BY button on the projector cab-
inet or the POWER ON button on the remote control
for 1 second.
The POWER indicator will turn to green and the projec-
tor will become ready to use.
NOTE: When the projector is turned on, it may take some time
before the lamp light becomes bright.
TIP:
• When the STATUS indicator lights orange, it means that the
[CONTROL PANEL LOCK] is turned on. ( → page 67)
• When the message "Projector is locked! Enter your pass-
word." is displayed, it means that the [SECURITY] is turned
on. ( → page 36)
After you turn on your projector, ensure that the com-
puter or video source is turned on and that your lens cap
is removed.
NOTE: When no signal is available, the NEC logo, blue (default),
or black screen will be displayed. When the projector displays the
NEC logo, a blue or black screen, the projector will automatically
switch to [ECO MODE].
The projector will return ECO MODE to its previous setting once an
active signal is connected.
