Subnet mask Sets the projector subnet mask if not using DHCP. Gateway Sets the projector gateway address if not using DHCP.
Maintenance Performing Routine Maintenance This section provides the following instructions: ■ “To get the projector status” on page 68 ■ “To clean the projector lens” on page 68 ■ “To replace the lamp module” on page 69 ■ “To replace the battery in the remote control” on page 70 To get the projector status ■ Open the on-screen menu and select help > About this projector. This screen shows information and status for the projector.
Maintenance To replace the lamp module Å■ WARNING: ■ When the lamp nears its end of life, it might break. To reduce the risk of injury, be careful when removing the lamp cover as broken glass might be present. For a ceiling installation, wear goggles and gloves when removing the lamp module. If the lamp is broken, contact HP about repairs that might be required. Wait 30 minutes before opening the lamp cover and removing the lamp module because the lamp assembly operates at a very high temperature.
Maintenance 6. Close the lid. 7. Turn on the projector. If the lamp does not turn on after the warm-up period, try reinstalling the lamp again. 8. Open the on-screen menu and select setup > Reset lamp hours. Å WARNING: The lamp contains a small amount of mercury. If the lamp breaks, adequately ventilate the area where the breakage occurred. Disposal of this lamp may be regulated due to environmental considerations.
6 Troubleshooting This chapter describes potential problems and offers suggestions to help correct them. This chapter covers: ■ “Troubleshooting Suggestions” on page 71. ■ “Testing the Projector” on page 81. Troubleshooting Suggestions To use this section, find the problem statement that is closest to your problem, then try each bulleted item one at a time until your problem is fixed. If the suggestions do not solve your problem, contact HP. See the Support Guide included with the projector.
Troubleshooting Start-up problems If no lights or sounds turn on: ❏ Ensure that the power cable is securely connected to the projector and the other end is plugged into an outlet with power. ❏ Verify the main disconnect switch is turned on (1), not off (0). ❏ Verify that lid of the projector is latched shut. ❏ Press the power button again. ❏ Reset the projector by turning the main disconnect switch off, wait 60 seconds, then turn it on again.
Troubleshooting Picture problems If the image is not displayed on the screen, but the HP startup screen is displayed: ❏ Press the source button on the projector or remote control. ❏ Turn off or disable the notebook or desktop computer screen saver function. ❏ For a computer connection, ensure your notebook computer's external video port is turned on. See the video port card shipped with the projector. On some notebooks, for example, press the Fn + F4 function keys to turn on the external video port.
Troubleshooting ❏ Ensure the projection screen is 1.5 to 14 m (5 to 46 ft) from the projector. It can be farther if a long range add-on lens is installed. ❏ For a computer connection, set the display resolution on the computer to 1024 x 768. ❏ Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning. If an upside-down or reversed image is displayed: ❏ The projector has been set to the wrong position setting.
Troubleshooting If the image is flickering or unstable: ❏ Press the auto sync button on the projector panel or remote control. ❏ For a computer connection, set the display resolution to 1024 x 768. ❏ For a computer connection, open the on-screen menu and select adjust picture > Advanced picture. Try adjusting the Frequency or Tracking. If the image is stretched: ❏ Open the on-screen menu and select adjust picture > Aspect ratio. Set to Best fit.
Troubleshooting If the projected colors seem completely wrong: ❏ If the super-bright button on the projector is lit, the picture is displayed in grayscale. To display colors, press the business graphics button or the theatre video button on the projector or remote control. ❏ For a YPbPr or RGB input device, be sure all the video connectors are correctly matched. ❏ Ensure the pins on the cable connectors are not bent or broken. ❏ Open the on-screen menu and select adjust picture > Color space.
Troubleshooting Sound problems If no sound is coming out of the projector: ❏ Be sure you have an audio cable securely connected between the projector and the input device. ❏ Be sure that the mute and volume settings are correct on the input device, such as a computer, DVD player, or camcorder. ❏ Open the on-screen menu and select audio. Check the following settings: ◆ Mute is turned off. ◆ Volume is correct. ◆ Internal speakers are turned on.
Troubleshooting Interruption problems If the projector suddenly shuts down and the temperature light turns on: ❏ If the temperature light is blinking, the fan is not working. Allow the projector to cool for several minutes. ❏ If the temperature light is steady, the projector has overheated. Allow it to cool for several minutes. ❏ If airflow is obstructed, remove the obstruction. ❏ If possible, remove any sources of excess heat in the room.
Troubleshooting Remote control problems If the remote control does not operate: ❏ If the indicator light on the front of the remote control blinks when you press buttons, the remote control is working properly. If the light does not blink, install two new AAA batteries in the remote control. ❏ Be sure nothing is blocking the infrared receivers on the front and back of the projector. Move to within 9 m (30 ft) of the projector. ❏ Open the on-screen menu and select help > Diagnostics.
Troubleshooting set for the projector—contact the network administrator for a valid TCP/IP network configuration, then set up the projector accordingly.
