Turning the projector on and off 27
NOTE: It is normal for parts of the projector and the air coming out of the projector to be very
warm. If the projector starts to overheat, the temperature warning light will turn on and the
projector will shut down.
Turning the projector off
1. Press the power button on the projector or remote control to turn off the projector. Do not
hold the button down.
The power button blinks during the cool-down period, then the projector turns off. Even
though the projector is off, it uses a small amount of power internally.
2. If you want, disconnect video and audio equipment from the projector during the cool-
down period or after the power button stops blinking.
CAUTION: Do not disconnect power or turn off the main disconnect switch until the projector
has cooled down (the fan stops) and the power button stops blinking. Otherwise, you might
shorten the life of the lamp.
3. If you must unplug or remove the projector, wait until the power light stops blinking, then
unplug the power cord.
If you try to turn on the projector again during the cool-down period, it will not turn on. Wait
until the cool-down period ends and the power button stops blinking.
Moving the projector
When moving the projector:
• Allow the projector to cool down before moving it. Then disconnect all cables.
• Avoid bumps and jolts. Use a carrying case or padded container when possible.
• Observe temperature and humidity limits (see “Specifications” on page 65). If the projector
is cold, allow it to warm gradually to avoid condensation.
