Shutting Down the Projector
When done using the projector, you should turn off the projection
lamp to conserve power and maintain the life of the lamp. If the
projector is connected to a network, leave it plugged in so that it can
continue to receive data. If you need to unplug the projector, be sure
to turn off the projection lamp (if it’s on) and let the projector cool
before unplugging it.
Follow these steps to turn off the projection lamp:
1. Press the red
Power
button on the projector or remote control.
You see a confirmation message. (If you don’t want to turn it off,
press any other button.)
2. Press the
Power
button again. The power light flashes orange for
about a minute as the projector cools down. Once the projector
has finished cooling, the orange light stays on and the exhaust fan
shuts off. This means the projector is in “sleep mode,” but it can
still receive data over the network.
3. If necessary, unplug the power cord. (When unplugged, the
projector won’t be accessible to users over the network.)
note
When the projector has not
received any input signals for
30 minutes, it automatically
turns off the projection lamp
and enters “sleep mode.” This
conserves electricity, cools the
projector, and extends the life
of the lamp. You can turn
this feature off; see page 79.
