38 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, 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. Press the red Power button on top of the projector or on the
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 a couple of minutes as the projector cools down. When
the projector has cooled, the orange
Power light stays on and
the fan shuts off.
If you want to turn the projector on again, wait until the orange
Power light stops flashing. Then press the Power button.
4. Replace the lens cap, retract the projector feet, and unplug the
power cord. Also turn off the remote control, if you were using it.
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
If sleep mode is enabled and
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. In sleep mode,
the
Power light is orange.
If you are done using the
projector, unplug the power
cord. If you want to start
projecting again, press the
Power button on the
projector or the remote
control.
