Using the Projector
Shutting Down the Projector
When you’ve finished using the projector, follow the recommended
procedure to shut it down. This extends the life of the lamp and
protects the projector from possible overheating.
1. Turn off any video or computer sources connected to the
projector first.
2. To turn off the projector, press the
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 or ignore
the message. (It disappears in about 7 seconds if you don’t
respond.)
3. Press the
Power
button again. The lamp is turned off and the
P
power light flashes red for about 90 seconds and then changes
to flashing orange.
The light continues flashing orange for about 5 minutes until the
projector cools down. When the projector has cooled, the power
light stays orange and the exhaust fan shuts off.
If you want to turn the projector on again, wait until the light
stops flashing red. Then press the
Power
button.
note
If you have turned on the
Sleep
mode option in the
projector’s Setting menu, the
projector turns off the lamp if
it has not received any input
signals for the selected
amount of time (1, 5, or 10
minutes). See page 35 for
more information.
