WARNING!

Read and observe these precautions and all others in this manual to reduce the risk of injury and equipment damage. Do not look directly into the lens when the lamp is on. Do not expose the projector to rain or moisture, and do not use it near water. Keep paper, plastic, and combustible material at least 2 ft (0.5 m) away from the projector lens and exhaust vents. Do not allow liquid, food, or small objects to get inside the projector. If material gets inside the projector, contact HP for assistance. Do not put anything on top of the projector. Do not place any liquids where they might spill on the projector.

Do not block any vents on the projector. Do not place the projector near any source of heat, such as a radiator or amplifier. Use only an approved power cord rated for the voltage and current marked on the product label. Do not overload any outlet or extension cord. Do not circumvent the grounding prong on the power cord. Route all cables so they are not located where people can step on them or trip on them.

Place the projector flat on its base on a sturdy surface. Do not stand the projector on its front surface.

Do not touch the lens with your fingers. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the projector case. Do not open the projector. If the projector is damaged in any way, contact HP for assistance.

CAUTION:

To prevent damage to the projector or its components during use, observe these precautions:

Avoid using the projector near appliances that generate heat.

Avoid exposing the projector to excessive dust. Dust may cause the projector to fail and automatically shut down.

Be sure that the projector is placed in a well-ventilated area.

Avoid blocking the projector's vents and openings.

Do not operate the projector over 47.5°C temperature. The projector operates well within this temperature range.

2 Troubleshooting

Solving common problems

Problem

No image appears on the screen.

Partial, scrolling, or incorrectly projected image.

Possible cause

A cable is disconnected.

The tracking, frequency, or resolution settings may need to be adjusted.

Solution

Be sure that all cables are properly connected.

Check all connector pins to be sure they are not bent or broken.

Press the 4-way button left to automatically adjust the frequency and tracking. An on-screen message indicates that an automatic adjustment is in progress.

Be sure the resolution of the computer is set to SVGA 858x600.

If you have difficulty changing the resolution or the monitor freezes, restart the computer and projector.

If the problem continues, upgrade the computer with the latest version of the video card driver. Contact technical support for more information.

The projected image is not displayed on the screen.

The VGA display settings may need to be changed.

Using the Picture menu, adjust the VGA display settings of the projector.

The image is unstable, flickering, or has a flickering vertical bar.

The image is distorted.

The image color is incorrect.

The tracking may need to be adjusted.

The focus may need to be adjusted.

The display is receiving the incorrect signal output from the VGA graphics card.

In Windows, change the display resolution on the computer to an allowable setting.

Adjust the tracking by pressing the

MENU button, and then selecting

Picture > VGA settings > Tracking.

Use the projector's focus ring to adjust the projected image.

Be sure that the projection screen is within the required distance from the projector (8.5 feet [2.6 m]).

Using the Picture menu, set the signal output to RGB.

Using the Picture menu, verify that the colors (red, green, blue) are properly set.

Solving common problems 13

The TEMP light is on.

The STATUS light is blinking.

The on-screen display does not appear on the screen.

The projector is overheated. (The projector automatically shuts down.)

Be sure that nothing is near or blocking the vents of the projector, and that the vents are free of dust or other objects.

After the projector cools completely, turn on the projector again.

One of the projector's fans may have failed. (The projector automatically shuts down.)

Be sure to let the projector cool completely. Check the fan mode in the

Setup menu. Change the fan mode to normal or high. The high setting turns the fan at a faster speed, which helps to keep the projector cooler.

The MENU button may be locked.

Press and hold the MENU button for 15 seconds to unlock the button and enable the on-screen display.
