Epson PowerLite 76c Projector The projector beeps once and the Power light flashes green as the projector warms up, then an image begins to appear. When the Power light stops flashing and remains green, the projector is ready for use. Warning: Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This can damage your eyes, and is especially dangerous for children. ❏ If you've connected a Windows®-based computer to the projector, you may see a message that your computer has found a plug-and-play monitor; if so, click Cancel. ❏ If you don't see the image you want, press the Source Search button on the projector or the Search button on the remote control until you see the image you want to project. Then press the Play button on your DVD player or other device. ❏ If you are prompted to enter a password, see the User's Guide.
