Sleep Mode
When the projector has not received any input signals for 30 minutes,
it automatically turns off the projector lamp and enters “sleep mode.”
In sleep mode, only a minimum amount of the projector’s circuitry
remains on. This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends
the life of the lamp. When you are ready to start projecting again,
press the
Power button. If you are done using the projector, unplug
the power cord.
