Real space projector?

Hello,
I am constructing a calculation which includes two atoms (respective POTCAR files "cat"ed together). I would like to know what this warning means and how to correct?

See below - Thank You

| One real space projector is optimized for |
| E = 414.57, eV but you are using a cutoff of |
| ENMAX= 320.00 eV ( QCUT= 4.85 a.u.) |
| This makes no sense reoptimize the projector |
| with the a.u. value given above |

It means, that you use in your calculation an energy cutoff, which is actually lower than one cutoff default value of one atom which is given within the POTCAR file.
Thats why you get "This makes no sense reoptimize the projector."
Either you omit the specification of ENCUT in the INCAR file (which will automatically set the cutoff to the highest value within the POTCAR) or you give via ENCUT a value higher than 414.57 eV.
