Direct Power Off Function - Panasonic PT-FX500 Operating Instructions Manual

Chapter 3 Basic Operations — Switching on/off the projector
2) Press qw to select [OK], and press the <ENTER> button.
(Or press the power <v/b> button again.)
f Projection of the image will stop, and the power indicator <ON(G)/STANDBY(R)> on the projector body
lights in orange. (The fan keeps running.)
3) Wait until the power indicator <ON(G)/STANDBY(R)> lights or blinks in red.
4) Press the <OFF> side of the <MAIN POWER> switch to turn off the power.
Note
f Do not switch on the projector and project images immediately after switching off the projector.
Turning on the power while the lamp is still hot may shorten the life of the lamp.
f For about 90 seconds after the projector is switched off and the luminous lamp cooling is started, the luminous lamp will not light up even if
the power is switched on. In such a case, switch on the projector again after the power indicator <ON(G)/STANDBY(R)> lights in red.
f The projector consumes power even when the power <v/b> button is pressed and the projector is switched off if the main power
of the projector is on.
When the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [ECO MANAGEMENT] → [STANDBY MODE] is set to [ECO], use of some functions is restricted,
but the power consumption during standby can be conserved.

Direct power off function

The projector can be turned off during projection or immediately after the luminous lamp is turned off by setting
the <MAIN POWER> switch to <OFF>. In addition, when the projector is mounted on the ceiling or installed in an
environment where the <MAIN POWER> switch of the projector cannot be easily turned <OFF>, the power can
be turned off directly using the circuit breaker. It is also safe in case a power outage occurs or the power cord is
pulled out immediately after the projector is switched off.
Attention
f Do not set the <MAIN POWER> switch to <OFF> or turn off the power breaker switch in a short time (about 1 minute) after the lamp is lit.
Doing so may cause the lamp fail to light while you powering on the projector next time, or result in premature deterioration of the lamp.
Note
f If the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [INITIAL STARTUP] is set to [LAST MEMORY] and the projector was turned off by using the circuit
breaker directly while projecting during the last time of use, the power indicator <ON(G)/STANDBY(R)> will light in green a while after the
circuit breaker is turned on, and then projection of the image will start.
f If the projector is cooled with the direct power off function, it may take longer than usual to be ready for projection when the projector is
switched on the next time.
