How to awake the projector from Sleep mode?
1. Press the SLEEP button on the Local Keypad for three seconds or use the Communicator to put the projector in Standby mode.
As a result the projector starts booting and initializing all electronics. During the booting and initializing phase the backlight color
of the Sleep button is purple (transition phase). Once the projector is fully awake the backlight color of the Sleep button is green.
Note: When the projector is in Sleep mode only the backlight of the Sleep button lights up red. The backlight of all other buttons
of the Local Keypad remains off.
The backlight color of the Sleep button, Standby button, Dowser button and Test Pattern button must all light
up green to project the image of the applied source.
