    Troubleshooting
    If there is no picture or the picture is blank
     If the power light is off, make sure the power cord is connected and plugged 
    into a live electrical outlet. If the power light is amber and not blinking, press 
    the power button. 
     Check video source and cables. Make sure the video source (computer, DVD 
    player, VCR, etc.) is turned on and cables are securely connected between the 
    source and the projector. 
     Make sure your computers video port is enabled. Press the key combination 
    that activates your laptops external video port (see step       ). If there is still no 
    image, restart your laptop. 
     Press the Source button. You may need to press it several times to view the 
    correct source.
      Press the Auto Image button.
    If Signal out of range is shown, or the picture looks bad
     Press the Auto Image button. If that doesnt help (and the source is a computer), 
    reduce your computers display resolution or vertical refresh rate. 
    If the replace lamp light is on
      Turn the projector off and wait at least one minute, then turn it on again. If the 
    replace lamp light turns on again, the lamp needs to be replaced. For lamp 
    replacement instructions, see the Reference Guide, which is on the included 
    CD-ROM or can be downloaded at
    If the high temperature light is on
     Turn the projector off and remove anything that may be blocking the air vents 
    on its side. Leave the projector off for at least one minute to let it cool before 
    turning it on again. Important: Continuous operation at high temperature may 
    reduce the lifetime of the lamp and/or projector. 
    If the service required light is on
     Turn the projector off and wait at least one minute, then turn it on again. If the 
    service required light turns on again, the projector needs to be serviced. See 
    below for service contact information. 
    More troubleshooting options are in the Reference Guide
      Warning: In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may be ejected from the projector. 
    Keep out of the area under and around the projector when it is turned on. See the safety 
    instructions booklet for more details.
