Turning the projector off
1.Press the power button on the projector or remote control to turn off the projector. Do not 
hold the button down.
The power button blinks during the cool-down period, then the projector turns off. Even 
though the projector is off, it uses a small amount of power internally.
2.If you want, disconnect video and audio equipment from the projector during the cool-
down period or after the power button stops blinking.
CAUTION:Do not disconnect power until the projector has cooled down (the fan stops) and 
the power button stops blinking. Otherwise, you might shorten the life of the lamp.
3.If you must unplug or remove the projector, wait until the power light stops blinking, then 
unplug the power cord.
If you try to turn on the projector again during the cool-down period, it will not turn on. Wait 
until the cool-down period ends and the power button stops blinking.

When moving the projector:
•Allow the projector to cool down before moving it. Then disconnect all cables.
•Avoid bumps and jolts. Use a carrying case or padded container when possible.
•Observe temperature and humidity limits (see “Specifications” on page 55). If the projector 
is cold, allow it to warm gradually to avoid condensation.
