Power-off
Use the following procedure to turn off the projector.
The lamp may deteriorate if the projector is powered off and on
repeatedly within 30 minutes after the lamp is lighted.
1.
Press the POWER button on the control panel or the STANDBY
button on the remote control.
• The message "POWER OFF? YES : PRESS AGAIN"
appears on the screen.

(Some buttons on the remote control don't function for can-
cel.)

Press the POWER button on the control panel or the STANDBY
button on the remote control within 10 seconds again.
• The lamp will go out and the STATUS indicator will start
blinking.
• Though the lamp goes out at this second press of the
POWER button (or STANDBY button), the air outlet fans con-
tinue operating for one minute to cool down the lamp. The
STATUS indicator will stop blinking.
• After stopping the air outlet fans, if the temperature inside the
set is still high, the temperature sensor detects it and then
the air outlet fans may start again.
3.
Unplug the power cord.
• The POWER indicator will go out.
• If the power cord should be unplugged accidentally while
either the air inlet fan or the air outlet fans are operating or
the lamp is on, allow the projector to cool down for 10 min-
utes with the power off. To light the lamp again, press the
POWER button (or ON button). If the lamp doesn't light up
immediately, repeat pressing the POWER button (or ON but-
ton) two or three times. If it should still fail to light up, replace
the lamp.
Notice:
• When storing the projector in the carrying case, the lens should
face up.
Before carrying the projector, rotate Focus Ring and Zoom Ring to
adjust the lens to the shortest. This prevents the possible dam-
ages of the lens.

ing after the lamp lights up because the lamp's life may be short-
ened.

because the lamp's life may be shortened. (Wait about 10 minutes
before turning the projector back on.)
• Before shutting down the projector, be sure to close the menu
screen. If you shut down the projector without closing the menu,
the setting data of the menu may not be saved.
• If you shut down the projector while controlling the projector using
the network function, the application software such as Projector-
View may fail. For details, see "User Manual of LAN Control Utility"
contained in the CD-ROM.
