on High Altitude Mode in the
projector's Settings menu to ensure the projector's internal
temperature is regulated properly.

Warning: Never look into the projector lens when the laser is on. This can damage your eyes and is especially dangerous for children and pets. If you are using the remote control to turn the projector on, make sure no one is looking into the lens or in front of the projector before turning it on.Caution:Make sure no objects are blocking the light from the projector lens. Objects blocking the lens for an extended time can melt, burn, or start a fire, and light that is reflected back into the lens can cause the projector to malfunction. To stop projection, use the A/V Mute function, or turn off the projector (blanking the screen will not pause video content).Note: When you turn on the projector for the first time, the initial setup wizard is displayed. Make the necessary Projection, Language, and Date & Time changes using the control panel or remote control. Adjust the shape and position settings for the projected image as necessary. Turn on the Quick Startup setting to start the projector faster if necessary. When Quick Startup is enabled in the projector's Operation menu, the projector becomes ready for use in several seconds the next time you turn the projector on.
- Turn on the connected video source.
- Carefully replace the
projector's side cover.
Note: When the Direct Power On setting is set to On in the projector's Operation menu, the projector turns on as soon as you plug it in. Note that the projector also turns on automatically in cases such as recovery from a power outage. If you select a specific port as the Auto Power On setting in the projector's Operation menu, the projector turns on as soon as it detects a signal or cable connection from that port.
