Shutting Down the 3000i

Shutting down the 3000i is a simple, two-step procedure:

1 Log off.

Logging off greatly enhances system security. It also provides subsequent users with a
consistent initial interface – the system logon screen – after they've powered up the
projector lamp.

2 Press the Projector Standby button to power down the projector lamp.

Pressing the Projector Standby button preserves the life of the projector lamp and
conserves power. See Turning the Projector Lamp On and Off (below) for more details.

Perform this procedure at the end of a meeting or presentation and at the end of the day. If
you prefer, you can also shut down the computer.

However, we recommend logging off rather than shutting down the computer, as it simplifies
3000i use.

Turning the Projector Lamp On and Off

You should put the projector into standby mode (i.e., with the projector lamp turned off) at the
end of a meeting or the workday rather than turning it off or unplugging it. We recommend that
you keep the projector power on all the time, unless the 3000i will not be used for an extended
period. If this is the case, the cabinet itself should be unplugged.

When the projector is in its active state and you press the Projector Standby button, the
projector is first put into a reversible standby mode for five minutes. While the screen appears
black, the projector lamp remains on so that the image can be immediately restored if
necessary.

At any time during this five-minute period you can instantly restore the system by pressing the
Projector Standby button again. After five minutes, however, the projector lamp turns off and a
full standby mode initiates.

To turn the projector lamp off (end of meeting/day)

Press the Projector Standby button on the Control Panel.

The screen appears black and the LED indicator next to the button will blink very quickly for a
five-minute period to indicate a state of reversible standby. In addition, none of the source
LEDs will be lit. Pressing the Projector Standby button again during this period will instantly
restore the system.

After the five-minute reversible standby period, the LED indicator will blink slowly for
approximately 30 seconds while the lamp is powered down. When the lamp is turned off, none
of the LED indicators in the Control Panel will be lit.

NOTE: To turn the lamp off quickly (skipping the reversible standby period), press the OFF
button on the projector remote control.

To power down the projector (if unused for an extended period)

1 Press the Projector Standby button on the Control Panel.

The LED indicator next to the Projector Standby button blinks rapidly for five minutes
(reversible standby) and slowly for approximately 30 seconds while the lamp powers
down. When the lamp is off, the LED indicator is no longer illuminated.

Disconnect the main 3000i power cable from the wall outlet.
