appears:

"Please press power button again to complete the shutdown process"

Press the power button again.

2

The LED Power indicator will turn solid red to indicate standby mode.

It is now safe to unplug the power cord.

When Instant Resume is selected:

1

The LED Power indicator will turn RED and blink rapidly after the 
projector is turned off, and the fan(s) will continue to operate for 
about 2 minutes to ensure that the system cools properly.

2

As long as the power cord remains plugged in, you can press the 
power button to turn the projector immediately back on anytime 
during the 2-minute shutdown process. 

3

Once the system has finished cooling, the LED Power indicator will 
stop blinking and turn solid red to indicate standby mode.

4

It is now safe to unplug the power cord.
