Operating the Projector 
This section explains how to turn on the projector and adjust the 
projected image. 
Turning On the 
Projector 
Use the Power On/Standby button to turn on the projector.
To turn on the projector:
1  Check that the projector is connected to AC power and the projector is 
in the  
sleep state 
 as described on page 14.
2 Press the Power On/Standby button on the projector keypad. 
Figure 11: Power On/Standby Button 
The projector enters the  
live state  
with the lamp on and the fan at high 
speed. The lamp takes approximately 30 seconds to reach full brightness.
The start-up sequence that the projector follows depends on the selections 
that you make in the projector system menus. For more information on 
how to modify these choices, see ÒUsing the MenusÓ on page 18.
By default, the projector displays the startup logo for Þve seconds then 
selects the data input source. If no data input source is present, the 
projector selects a video player input source. If no video player input 
source is present, it displays the startup logo. If you did not select a 
startup logo in the Features menu, the projector displays a blank screen. 
CAUTION: 
Ultra high pressure lamps need to be in a stable condition 
prior to turning them on or off. To protect the lamp and the 
projector, the power up and power down circuitry contain 
built-in protective delays. After you turn on the lamp, a 
timer prevents you from turning it off for at least 30 seconds. 
After you turn off the lamp, a timer prevents you from 
turning it on for at least 60 seconds. Do not attempt to 
bypass these delays.
