note If sleep mode is enabled and 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. In sleep mode, the Power light is orange. If you are done using the projector, unplug the power cord. If you want to start projecting again, press the Power button on the projector or the remote control. 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, shut down the computer first; otherwise you won't be able to see your computer's display if you try turning it off after the projector. 2. Press the red Power button on top of the projector or on the remote control. You see a confirmation message. (If you don't want to turn it off, press any other button.) Power button power off confirmation message caution To avoid damaging the projector or lamp, never unplug the power cord when the Power light is green or flashing orange. 3. Press the Power button again. The Power light flashes orange for a couple of minutes as the projector cools down. When the projector has cooled, the orange Power light stays on and the fan shuts off. If you want to turn the projector on again, wait until the orange Power light stops flashing. Then press the Power button. 4. Replace the lens cap, retract the projector feet, and unplug the power cord. Also turn off the remote control, if you were using it. 5. If you're using a VCR or other video source, turn it off after you turn off the projector. 6. Disconnect all equipment, and store the projector in a protective case. 36 Using the Projector
