The WARNING indicators show the state of the function which protects the projector. Check the state of the 
WARNING indicators and the POWER indicator to take proper maintenance. 
Warning Indicators
The projector is shut down and the WARNING TEMP. 
indicator is blinking red.
When the temperature inside the projector reaches a 
certain level, the projector will be automatically shut 
down to protect the inside of the projector. The POWER 
indicator is blinking while the projector is being cooled 
down. When the projector has cooled down enough (to its 
normal operating temperature), it can be turned on again by 
pressing the ON/STAND-BY button.
✔Note:
	 •	The	 WARNING	 TEMP.	indicator	continues	to	blink	
even	after	the	temperature	inside	the	projector	
returns	to	normal.	 When	the	projector	is	turned	on	
again,	the	 WARNING	 TEMP.	indicator	stops	blinking.	
Then check the matters below:
–  Did you provide appropriate space for the projector to be 
ventilated? Check the installing condition to see if the air 
vents of the projector are not blocked.
–   Has the projector been installed near an Air-Conditioning/ 
Heating Duct or Vent? Move the installation of the 
projector away from the duct or vent.
–   Is the filter clean? Clean the filter periodically or replace it 
with a new one.
The projector is shut down and all five indicators are 
blinking.
When the projector detects an abnormal condition, it will 
be automatically shut down to protect the inside of the 
projector and all five indicators on the top panel blink. In 
this case, unplug the AC power cord and plug it, and then 
turn on the projector once again to verify operation. If the 
projector cannot be turned on and these indicators are still 
blinking, unplug the AC power cord and contact the service 
station.
CAUTION
