Chapter 3 Basic Operations — Switching on/off the projectorENGLISH - 57Switching off the projector1)2)1)4)3)2)1) Press the power standby <v> button.f The [POWER OFF(STANDBY)] confirmation screen is displayed.2) Press qw to select [OK], and press the button.(Or press the power standby <v> button again.)f Projection of the image will stop, and the power indicator on the projector body lights in orange. (The fankeeps running.)3) Wait until the power indicator on the projector body lights in red (and the fanstops) for 170 seconds.4) Press the side of the switch to turn off the power.Notef Do not switch on the projector and project images immediately after switching off the projector.Turning on the power while the lamp is still hot may shorten the lamp life.f For about 75 seconds after the projector is switched off and the luminous lamp cooling is started, the lamp indicators will not light up evenif the power is switched on. Even after 75 seconds, the lamp may not light up if the projector is switched on. In such a case, after the powerindicator lights in red, switch on the projector again.f The projector consumes power even when the power standby <v> button is pressed and the projector is switched off if the mainpower of the projector is on.When the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [STANDBY MODE] is set to [ECO], use of some functions is restricted, but the powerconsumption during standby can be conserved.Direct power off functionEven if the main power switch is turned during projection or immediately after turning off the luminous lamp, thefan runs using internally stored power to cool the luminous lamp. When the projector is mounted on the ceiling or installed in an environmentwhere the main power switch of the projector cannot be easily turned , the power can be turned off directly using thecircuit breaker. It is also safe in case a power outage occurs or the power cord is pulled out immediately after the projector is switched off.Notef If the projector was turned off by turning off the circuit breaker directly during projection last time, then the power indicator STANDBY (R)> will light in green a while after the circuit breaker is turned on, and then projection of the image will start.f If cooled with the direct power off function, projection may take a longer time than usual to start when the projector is switched on the nexttime.f Make sure that the fan is not running when packing the projector for transportation or storage.
