Turning Off the Projector
To turn off the projector, press the Power switch. If you want to
turn the lamp back on, you must allow 90 seconds for the lamp to
cool. The lamp won’t light if it’s too hot.
NOTE: To maximize lamp life,
allow the projector to run for at
least five minutes before turning
it off.
