Turning On the Projector (EF21)

Turn on the projector before you turn on the video source you want to use.
CAUTION:
Do not turn on the video source before connecting it to the projector; otherwise, you may damage the projector.
  1. Connect the power cord to the projector's power inlet and plug it into an electrical outlet.


    The projector status light flashes blue as the projector warms up. When the indicator turns off, the projector enters standby mode. This indicates that the projector is receiving power, but is not turned on.
  2. Press the  Power button on the projector or the projector remote control to turn on the projector.
    The status indicator turns blue and the light source turns on.
    Auto Focus and Auto Keystone Correction automatically correct the focus and any distortion of the projected image.
    Note: Your screen size should be between 30 and 100 inches for automatic image correction. Focus and keystone distortion are corrected even if the size of the projected image exceeds 100 inches. However, the adjustment may fail depending on the installation angle of the projector, the brightness of the room, and the material of the projection surface. If necessary, adjust the keystone distortion and focus setting manually using the projector menu.
    Warning:
    • Never look into the projector lens when the light is on. The light can damage your eyes and is especially dangerous for children. Enable the Smart Eye Protection feature to automatically dim the projector when something is blocking the lens.
      • Projector > Advanced Settings > Smart Eye Protection
    • When turning on the projector at a distance using the remote control, make sure no one is looking into the lens.
    • During projection, do not block the light from the projector with a book or other objects. If the light from the projector is blocked, the area on which the light shines becomes hot which could cause it to melt, burn, or start a fire. Also, the lens may get hot due to the reflected light which could cause the projector to malfunction. To stop projection, turn off the projector.
    • Even when the projector is turned off, do not place any flammable objects such as a book or cloth in front of the lens. If the projector is unexpectedly turned on for some reason, it could result in a fire.
