Epson PowerLite 740c Projector Sleep Mode 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 P Power button. You can enable sleep mode in the Extended menu under Operation. 4. Press up on the blue foot release lever and lower the projector to retract the front adjustable foot, as shown. Using Direct Power On The Direct Power On function enables faster setup. The projector will start up automatically when you plug it in; you won't have to press the P Power button. Follow these steps to enable Direct Power On: 1. Press the Menu button on the remote control and select the Extended menu. 2. Choose Operation and press Enter. 3. Choose Direct Power On and press Enter. 4. Highlight ON and press Enter. 5. Press Esc or Menu to exit. Note: When Direct Power On is enabled, shut down the projector as you normally would. Follow the instructions in the next section. (The projector will start automatically when power is restored after a power failure if it is plugged in.) Shutting Down the Projector When you've finished using the projector, follow the recommended procedure to shut it down. This extends the lamp life and protects the projector from possible overheating. 1. Turn off any equipment plugged into the projector. 2. To turn off the projector, press the 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.) 3. Press the P Power button again. The P Power light flashes orange as the projector cools down. When the projector beeps twice, it's safe to unplug it. To turn the projector on again, wait until the P Power light stops flashing. Then press the P Power button. 5. Replace the lens cap and unplug the power cord. Caution To avoid damaging the projector or lamp, never unplug the power cord when the P Power light is green or flashing orange. Using the Remote Control Before using the remote control, insert the two AAA alkaline batteries, as described on your Quick Setup sheet. When using the remote control, stand within 20 feet of the projector. Point the remote control either at the projector or at the screen (the projector's front sensor can detect signals bounced off the screen). Press the button for the function you want to use. Turning Off the Picture and Sound You can use the A/V Mute button on the remote control to turn off the image and sound and darken your screen. This is useful if you want to temporarily re-direct your audience's attention. ❏ To turn off the picture and sound, press the A/V Mute button. The screen turns blue. ❏ To turn the image and sound back on, press the A/V Mute button again. You can create an image, such as a company logo or a picture, to display on the screen whenever you press the A/V Mute button. See the User's Guide for more information. Stopping Action Press the Freeze button to stop the action in your video or computer image and keep the current image on the screen. The sound will continue, however; and if you have connected an external monitor for simultaneous display, the action continues on the monitor even though it is paused on the screen. To restart the action, press the Freeze button again or press Esc. 8/04 Epson PowerLite 740c Projector - 7
