What To Do When the Lights Flash
The lights on top of the projector indicate the projector’s status and 
let you know when a problem occurs.
If the projector is not working correctly, first turn it off and unplug it. 
Then plug the power cord back in and turn on the projector. If this 
does not solve the problem, check the status lights on top of the 
projector and try the solutions recommended below.

Overheating
The projector has overheated and turned itself 
off. Let it cool for a few minutes, then turn it 
back on. Make sure there is plenty of space 
around and under the projector for ventilation. 
Also clean the air filter (see page 53). If it 
continues to overheat, you may need to 
replace the air filter.
