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. If you’ve connected a computer or laptop and it’s displaying only

through the projector (the computer’s monitor is disconnected or
turned off), shut down the computer first; otherwise you won’t be
able to see your computer’s display if you try turning it off after
the projector.

2. To turn off the projector, 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.)

3. Press the

Power

button again. The power light flashes orange for

about a minute as the projector cools down. When the projector
has cooled, the orange light stays on and the exhaust fan shuts off.

If you want to turn the projector on again, wait until the orange
light stops flashing. Then press the

Power

button.

4. Replace the lens cap and unplug the power cord.

5. If you’re using a VCR or other video source, turn it off after you

turn off the projector.

6. Disconnect all equipment, and store the projector in a protective

case.

note

When the projector has not
received any input signals for
30 minutes, it automatically
turns off the projector lamp
and enters “sleep mode.” This
conserves electricity, cools the
projector, and extends the life
of the lamp. If you are done
using the projector, unplug
the power cord. If you want
to start projecting again, press
the

Power

button.

caution

To avoid damaging the
projector or lamp, never
unplug the power cord
when the power light is
green or flashing orange.
