InFocus X1a manual Shutting down the projector, Troubleshooting your setup

Shutting down the projector

The projector automatically displays a black screen after no active source is detected for 30 minutes. This black screen helps preserve the life of the pro- jector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a keypad but- ton is pressed.

Screen Save

You can make the black screen appear after a preset number of minutes by turning on the Screen Save feature in the Settings>System menu. See page 39.

Power Save

The projector also has a Power Save feature that automatically turns the lamp off after no active sources are detected and no user interaction with the projector is performed for 20 minutes. By default, this feature is off. See page 39.

Turning off the projector

You can turn the projector off simply by toggling the power switch to the off position.

When the lamp has cooled, the LED lights solid green and the fans slow down to minimal speed. To turn off the projector, toggle the power switch to the off position.

If you purchase the optional remote you can also press its Power button to place the projector in the Off state while it is running. When the Power but- ton is pressed twice (once to start the power-down process and a second time to verify that you want to power the projector off), the lamp turns off and the LED blinks green for one (1) minute while the fans continue to run to cool the lamp. While the LED is blinking green, the projector does not accept any keypad and remote control input.

NOTE: Once the projector has been toggled off, you must wait for one (1) minute before turning the projector on again. This allows the lamp to prop- erly cool. However, if the optional remote was used to power the projector to the Off state you do not need to wait one minute to turn it on again.

Troubleshooting your setup

If your image appears correctly on the screen, skip to the next section. If it does not, troubleshoot the setup.

The LED on top of the projector indicates the state of the projector and can help you troubleshoot.
