Note
 f A warm-up period of up to approximately five minutes may be necessary until an image is displayed when the projector is switched on at 
around 0   °C (32   °F).
The temperature indicator  lights in red during the warm-up period. When the warm-up is completed, the temperature indicator 
 turns off and the projection starts. Refer to “When an indicator lights up” ( x
  page   148) for the indicator status display.
 fIf the operating environment temperature is low and warm-up takes more than five minutes, the projector will judge that a problem has 
occurred and the power will automatically be set to standby mode. In such case, increase the operating environment temperature to 0

  °C 
(32
  °F) or higher, turn off the main power, and then turn on the power again.
 fWhen the [PROJECT

OR SETUP] menu → [ECO MANAGEMENT]  → [QUICK STARTUP] is set to [ON], and the power is turned on before 
the specified time elapses after the projector enters the standby mode, an image will be projected approximately one second after the power 
is turned on.
The specified time is a time set in the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [ECO MANAGEMENT]  → [QUICK STARTUP] → [VALID PERIOD].
 fWhen the power is turned on or an input signal is switched, you may here a high-frequency driving sound.  This is not a malfunction. fIf the power was turned of

f at the previous use by pressing the  side of the  switch or by using the breaker directly 
while projecting, the power indicator  lights up in green and an image is projected after a while when the power 
is turned on by pressing the  side of the  switch or by turning the breaker on with the power plug connected to the 
outlet. This applies only when the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [INITIAL STARTUP] is set to [LAST MEMORY].
