Problem Solving
This section explains how to interpret the projector’s status lights, solve problems with the 
picture and remote control, and contact technical support.
What To Do When the Lights Come On 
or Flash
The lights on top of the projector indicate the projector’s 
status and let you know when a problem occurs.
If the projector isn’t working correctly, first press the 
P
Power
 button or the 
Off
 button on the remote 
control, let the projector cool down, turn off the power 
switch on the back, and unplug the power cord. Then 
plug the power cord back in and turn on the projector. 
If this doesn’t solve the problem, check the status lights 
on top of the projector.
