Note: Cool Down Mode

After projection, the hot lamp goes through a 60-second cool-down process known as ‘cool down mode’. This mode is designed to prevent damage and deformation that heat from the heated lamp may cause to the internal com- ponents of the projector. It also minimises the chance of lamp breakage and shortened lamp life.

The cool down mode is indicated by the blink- ing Standby indicator. When in the cool down mode, the OPERATE ON button is disabled.

After the cool down process is completed, the unit will automatically switch into standby mode.

CAUTION:

When in the cool-down mode, do not pull out the plug from the power socket. Also, do not block the air inlets/ exhaust vents by standing this unit on its end or laying it on its side.

The timing and procedure for lamp replace- ment is discussed on page 27 et seq.
