2.7 Power off projector
How to Switch off the projector
1. Use the standby button , or the Power On button on the remote control, to switch off the projector.
The projector will switch to READY mode first in order to run through a cool down phase.
2. If ECO Standby mode is enabled in the service menu (refer to the section "GUI - system settings/Standby
ECO", in User Guide) the projector will automatically go to ECO standby mode after a time-out (default 15
minutes).
Some actions like apply a grey test pattern are done during the two minutes of the cool down phase
in order to minimize the potential effect of burn-in and increase the projector lifetime.

mains power.
Barco advises to keep the projector always powered and use the ECO mode for low power
consumption.
