will stop. Wait for about 5 minutes without operating 
the projector. After 5 minutes, disconnect the power 
plug and connect it again.
If the projector overheats, check the following two 
points.
Is the setting-up location well ventilated?
Check that the air inlet and air outlet are clear, and 
that the projector is not positioned against a wall.
Is the air filter blocked with dust?
If the air filter is dirty, it should be cleaned.
After reconnecting the power plug the operating 
condition is restored. Press the power button to 
switch on the power supply. If the projector 
continues to overheat even after the above points 
have been checked, or if the indicators show a 
problem when the power is turned back on, stop 
using the projector, disconnect the power cord from 
the electrical outlet, and contact your dealer or the 
nearest address provided at “International Warranty
