TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Nothing appears on the screen at all
a. Make sure the lens cap is removed from the lens.
b. Make sure there is power to the projector and that it is turned on.
c. Allow the projector and your source a moment to warm up.
d. Turn the projector all the way off and then back on. If the screen is still dark, the projector may
be malfunctioning.
2. Only a blue screen appears, no image from the source
a. Make sure the cable connecting the source and the projector is securely connected.
b. Check for any cuts or breaks in the cable. If it is a VGA cable, check for any bent pins.
c. Make sure your source is turned on and outputting an image.
d. Push the source search button on the remote to search for the correct input that your source is
connected to. The projector may have not synced up with the source when powering on.
3. The image is not bright enough
a. Close blinds, cover windows, turn off the lights to darken the room.
b. Move the projector closer to the screen if possible. This will help provide a brighter image but
the image will be smaller.
4. Detailed instructions on troubleshooting can be found on pages 98-115 in the instruction manual.
SHUTDOWN
1. Press down the power button on the back of the projector or on the remote.
