Application 2: Projector Requiring a Power Off
Confirmation
Some projectors controlled via IR require the Power Off button on the hand-held
remote control to be pressed twice to turn off the projector. These projectors
usually present a prompt (similar to the one shown below) on the image,
instructing you to press the Power Off button again to confirm your intent to power
off the projector. (If the projector is controlled via RS-232, this prompt is usually
not displayed.)
Yes: Press Again No: Please Wait
Turn Power OFF?
