Troubleshooting and error codes
| Problem | Possible cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No image appears on the screen. | A cable is disconnected. | Be sure that all cables are properly connected. Check all connector pins to be sure they are not bent or broken. |
| Partial, scrolling, or incorrectly projected image. | The tracking, frequency, or resolution settings may need to be adjusted. | 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. In Windows, change the display resolution on the computer to an allowable setting. |
| The image is unstable, flickering, or has a flickering vertical bar. | The tracking may need to be adjusted. | Adjust the tracking by pressing the MENU button, and then selecting Picture > VGA settings > Tracking. |
| The image is distorted. | The focus may need to be adjusted. | Use the projector's focus ring to adjust the projected image. |
| The image color is incorrect. | The display is receiving the incorrect signal output from the VGA graphics card. | 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. |
| The TEMP light is on. | 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. |
| The STATUS light is blinking. | 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 on-screen display does not appear on the screen. | 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. |
