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 (the computer’s monitor is disconnected or turned off), shut down the computer first; otherwise you may not be able to see your computer’s display to shut it down properly.
2.To turn off the projector, press the red Power button on the projector or remote control.
note
When 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. If you are done using the projector, unplug the power cord. If you want to start projecting again, press the Power button.

3.Press the Power button again. The power light flashes orange for about a minute as the projector cools down. When the projector has cooled, the orange light stays on and the exhaust fan shuts off.
If you want to turn the projector on again, wait until the orange light stops flashing. Then press the Power button.
4.If you extended the front foot, press the foot adjust button to retract it.
5.Replace the lens cap and unplug the power cord.
6.If you’re using a VCR or other video source, turn it off after you turn off the projector.
7.Disconnect all equipment, and store the projector in a protective case.
caution
To avoid damaging the projector or lamp, never unplug the power cord when the power light is green or flashing orange.
