Getting Ready

Turning Off the Projector

zWhen you turn off the projector, the lamp goes out and the projector goes into a cool down state. Note that you will not be able to turn the projector back on again while it is cooling down.

zThe projector may remain quite hot for a while after you turn it off. Take care when moving the projector or otherwise handling it after use. See “Precaution when Handling the Projector after Use” (page E-8) for more information.

zMake sure that the projector is cooled down sufficiently before storing it.

To turn off the projector

1. Press the [ ] (power) key.

z This causes the confirmation message “Do you want to turn off the projector?” to appear in the center of the projection screen.

z If you do not turn off the projector the confirmation message will disappear automatically after about 10 seconds. The confirmation message will also disappear if you press [ESC] key.

2. To turn off the projector, press the [ ] (power) key again in response to the confirmation message.

z This causes the projector lamp to go out and stops projection.

z Also the POWER/STANDBY indicator starts to flash amber, which indicates that the projector is cooling down.

z The projector will not turn back on again while it is cooling down.

z After cool down is finished, the POWER/STANDBY indicator on the top of the projector will light amber, which indicates the standby state. You can now turn the projector back on, if you want.

After checking to make sure that the POWER/STANDBY indicator has stopped flashing amber and remains lit, unplug the AC power cord from the power outlet.

zThis causes the POWER/STANDBY indicator to go out.

After ensuring that the projector and the connected computer or video device are turned off, disconnect the connecting cables from the projector and the connected device.

Close the lens cover.

Auto Power Off

Auto Power Off automatically turns off the projector whenever there is no input signal, and no operation is performed on the projector for about 30 minutes. When Auto Power Off is triggered, the projector first enters a cool down state, the same as it does when you press the [ ] (power) key to turn it off.

zWhile Direct Power On (page E-21) is enabled, the projector will turn off automatically if no key operation is performed and no signal input is received within about 10 minutes after it is turned on.
