Note
•The RS-232C function may not operate if your computer terminal is not correctly set up. Refer to the
operation manual of the computer for details.
•See “RS-232C Specifications and Command Settings” on page 60 for details.
Info
•Do not connect the RS-232C cable to a port other than the RS-232C terminal on the computer. This may
damage your computer or projector.
•Do not connect or disconnect an RS-232C serial control cable to or from the computer while it is on. This
may damage your computer.

Info
•Do not unplug the power cord during projection or cool-
ing fan operation. The cooling fan in this projector contin-
ues to run for about 90 seconds after the projector enters
the standby mode. This can cause damage due to rise in
internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.

•The power indicator illuminates green.
•After the lamp indicator illuminates, the projec-
tor is ready to start operation.
Note
•The lamp indicator illuminates or blinks, in-
dicating the status of the lamp.
Green:The lamp is ready.
Blinking green:The lamp is warming up
or shutting down.
Red:
The lamp is shut down abnormally or
the lamp should be replaced.
•When switching on the projector, a slight flicker-
ing of the image may be experienced within the

This is normal operation as the lamps control
circuitry is stabilising the lamp output charac-
teristics. This does not indicate malfunction.
•If the projector is put into standby mode and
immediately turned on again, the lamp may
take some time to illuminate.
