NOTE: You may prefer to shut the computer down at the end of the day.
On shipment, the projector is configured to shut down three minutes after no new input signal is
received, so if the monitor shuts off after a period of inactivity, so will the projector lamp. During the
shutdown period, the interactive screen turns blue. If you change your mind and want to use the
system again, you can restore the computer display by simply touching the screen. At the end of the
shutdown period, the projector lamp shuts down completely and the screen turns black.
You should avoid using a screen saver, regardless of whether you power the computer down daily or
not. The benefit of a screen saver – to avoid image burn-in, either on monitors or plasma displays –
has no bearing on a projected system.
NOTE: You can't adjust the power settings on Windows NT 4.0 systems, so the computer must be
left on with full power, or shut down at the end of the day and started up again.
To adjust a computer's default power settings (Windows)
NOTE: This procedure may vary, depending on which version of the Windows operating system
you're running.
1. Click the Start button on the Windows taskbar, point to Settings and select Control Panel.
2. Double-click Display and click the Screen Saver tab.
3. Under Energy saving features of monitor, click the Settings (or Power) button.
The Power Management Properties (or Power Option Properties) dialog box appears.
4. Select After 1 hour from the Turn off monitor list.
NOTE: This is a recommended setting. You can select any duration you want.
5. In the Turn off hard disks list, select the period of inactivity that must elapse before hard disk
shutdown.
NOTE: For the above step, we recommend that you select After 2 hours. This extended time
period ensures that guest laptop presenters − or participants in lengthy meetings characterized
by large gaps in activity − do not experience an unexpected hard disk shutdown.
6. Click the Apply button and then click OK.
When the system reaches the period of inactivity specified in step 4, the computer stops sending
an RGB signal. If no other source is active, the projector goes into a three-minute shutdown
mode, during which time the screen turns blue. After three minutes, the projector shuts down
completely and the screen turns black.
NOTE: To immediately restore the input signal from the computer during this three-minute
projector shutdown period, touch the blue screen (or press a keyboard key). This function is
especially handy when you're a passive participant in a lengthy data conference.
