Shutting Down The Projector; Installing The Remote Control Batteries; Using The Remote Control - Epson PowerLite 71c User Manual

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.
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.
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 button on top of the projector or on

Caution:
To avoid damaging the projector or lamp, never unplug the power
cord when the Power light is green or flashing orange.
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.

Using the Remote Control

The remote control lets you access projector features from
anywhere in the room—up to 32 feet away. You must also be
within a 30° horizontal and a 15° vertical angle from the
infrared receiver at the front of the projector. You can use it to
turn the projector on and off, zoom the image, display the
projector menus, and other uses.
If you connected a mouse cable to the projector, you can also
use the remote control as a wireless mouse to run your
presentation.
Note:
You can aim the remote control at your projection screen and
reflect the signal back into the sensor on the front of the projector,
but this shortens the operating distance of the remote control.

Installing the Remote Control Batteries

The remote control operates the projector and lets you access
its setup menus. You can also use it as a wireless mouse.
