EPSON PowerLite 8300i Projector

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.

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.

You can turn off sleep mode using the Sleep Mode option in the Setting menu. If Standby Mode has been set to Network ON (in the Advanced1 menu), the lamp will turn off but the projector will not go into full standby mode.

Follow these steps to turn off the projector:

1.If you’re using a computer or laptop, shut it down 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 P Power button on the projector or remote control. You see a confirmation message. (If you don’t want to turn it off, press any other button.)

Power button

3.Press the P Power button again. The power light flashes orange for about a minute as the projector cools down. When the projector has finished cooling, 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 P Power button.

4.Turn off and disconnect any equipment plugged into the projector.

5.Replace the lens cap, retract the feet, and unplug the power cord.

Caution: To avoid damaging the projector or lamp, never unplug the power cord when the power light is green or flashing orange.
