40 Using the Projector
Turning On the Projector
Follow these steps to turn on the projector:
1. Connect one end of the power cord to the projector’s power inlet.
2. Connect the other end to a grounded electrical outlet. The power
light on the projector’s control panel starts flashing orange and
then stays orange, indicating that the projector is receiving power
but not yet turned on.
3. Remove the lens cap.
4. Press the red Power button on top of the projector (or the remote
control) to turn on the projector. (If you are using the remote,
make sure it is turned on. See page 48 for more information.)
The power light flashes green as the projector warms up, and the
projection lamp comes on in about 30 seconds. The power light
stays green, and you may see a blue screen with the message
No Signal displayed. This is normal.
5. Do one of the following:
■ Turn on or restart your computer. In a few moments, you
should see your computer display projected.
(Windows only: If you see a New Hardware Found message
saying that it has found a plug-and-play monitor, click
Cancel .)
■ If you’re projecting a video, turn on your video source and
press the
Play button.

the lamp is on. This can
damage your eyes, and is
especially dangerous for
children.
