About Cool Down mode 
● The Cool Down mode is a function to 
      cool  down  the  lamp  for  approximately  60 
      seconds  after  projection  is  complete.  This 
      function  prevents  the  internal  parts of  the 
      unit  from  deformation  or  damage  due  to 
      overheating  of  the  lamp.  It  also  prevents 
      lamp  blowout  and  premature  shortening 
      of  lamp  life.
● During Cool Down mode, the [STANDBY/ 
      ON]  indicator  blinks  in  red. 
●  After the Cool Down mode is complete, 
      the unit  automatically  returns  to  standby 
      mode. 
● Do not pull out the power plug during 
     Cool Down mode. This may shorten the 
     lamp life and cause a malfunction. 
HIDEHIDE
Adjust accordingly by 
pressing the up/down 
buttons 
Green light blinks
