•
 
The  projector  is  always  in  [NORMAL]  for  one  minute  after  the  lamp  is  turned  on  and  while  the  POWER  indicator  is  blinking 
green. The lamp condition will not be affected even when [LAMP MODE] is changed.
•
 
If there is no signal for about one minute, the projector will display a blue, black or logo background (depending on setting) 
and go into [ECO].
 
The projector will return to the [NORMAL] once a signal is accepted.
•
 
If the projector is overheated in [NORMAL] mode because of use in a high-temperature room , there may be a case where the 
[LAMP  MODE]  automatically  changes  to  [ECO]  mode  to  protect  the  projector.  This  mode  is  called  "forced  ECO  mode".  When 
the projector is in [ECO] mode, the picture brightness decreases. The LAMP indicator's steady light indicates the projector is 
in [ECO] mode. When the projector comes back to normal temperature, the [LAMP MODE] returns to [NORMAL] mode.
 
Thermometer symbol [ 
 ] indicates the [LAMP MODE] is automatically set to [ECO] mode because the internal temperature is too high.
