55 Appendix Maintenance Indicators About the lamp indicator ■When the remaining lamp life becomes 5% or less, (yellow) and “Change The Lamp” will be displayed on the screen. When the percentage becomes 0%, it will change to (red), the lamp will automatically turn off and then the projector will automatically enter standby mode. At this time, the lamp indicator will illuminate in red. ■ If you try to turn on the projector a fourth time without replacing the lamp, the projector will not turn on. About the temperature warning indicator If the temperature inside the projector increases, due to blockage of the air vents, or the setting location, “” will illuminate in the lower left corner of the picture. If the temperature keeps on rising, the lamp will turn off and the temperature warning indicator will blink, the cooling fan will run, and then the projec- tor will enter standby mode. After “ ” appears, ensure you perform the measures described on page 56. Lamp indicator ■ The warning lights (power indicator, lamp indicator and temperature warning indicator) on the projector indicate problems inside the projector. ■ If a problem occurs, either the temperature warning indicator or the lam\ p indicator will illuminate red, and the projector will enter standby mode. After the projector has entered standby mode, follow the procedures given below. T emperature warning indicator Power indicator Red on Green on Red blinks Green blinks Green on Green blinks Red on Off Red on Power indicator Lamp indicator T emperature warning indicator Indicators on the Projector Normal (Standby) Normal (Power on) Abnormal (See page 56.) Normal (Cooling) Normal The lamp is warming up. The lamp is shut down abnormally or requires to be changed. (See page 56.) Normal The internal temperature is abnormally high. (See page 56.) Top View
56 •If the temperature warning indicator illuminates, and the projector enters standby mode, follow the possible solutions above and then wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plug- ging in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 10 minutes.) • If the power is turned off for a brief moment due to power outage or some other cause while using\ the projector, and the power supply recovers immediately after that, the lamp indicator will illumi- nate in red and the lamp may not be lit. In this case, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, replace the power cord in the AC outlet and then turn the power on again. • The cooling fan keeps the internal temperature of the projector constant and this function is con- trolled automatically. The sound of the cooling fan may change during operation because the f\ an speed may change and this is not a malfunction. Maintenance indicator Problem The internal temperature is abnormally high. The lamp does not illuminate. Time to change the lamp. The lamp does not illuminate. The power indicator blinks in red when the projector is on.Cause • Blocked air intake • Cooling fan breakdown • Internal circuit failure • Clogged air intake • The lamp is shut down abnormally. • Remaining lamp life becomes 5% or less. • Burnt-out lamp • Lamp circuit failure • The dust filter holder or lamp unit cover is open. Possible Solution • Relocate the projector to an area with proper ventilation.
