Connecting the Projector
To turn off the projector power
1. Press the   Power button on the projector or remote control to 
turn off the projector lamp.
An on-screen message appears asking if you’re sure you want 
to turn off the lamp.
2. Press the   Power button again to confirm.
If you don’t press the button within ten seconds, the message 
disappears and the lamp remains lit. This convenient design is 
in case you accidently press the   Power button in the middle 
of a show and do not want to turn off the projector.
If you do press the   Power button a second time, the 
LED indicator flashes rapidly. Then the projector automatically 
shuts itself down.
3. Do not turn on the projector again for at least two minutes. 
When the LED indicator is again flashing slowly it is safe to turn 
the lamp back on.
4. After two minutes, disconnect the power cord.
LED Indicator
•Slow flash—Normal operation; the power cord is plugged in. 
•Steady light, not flashing—Normal operation; the lamp power 
is on and the projector is operating normally.
•Rapid flashing during lamp shutdown—Normal operation; 
the fan runs for about 30 seconds to cool down the lamp.
•Rapid flashing while the lamp is powered—Warning: either 
the lamp has overheated and the fan runs automatically, or the 
fan has malfunctioned. You cannot turn off the power to the 
lamp until it has cooled down. NOTE:Do not disconnect the power cord until the projector’s 
cooling fan stops (about two minutes). This protects the lamp 
from overheating and possible damage
