down period or after the power button stops blinking.
CAUTION: Do not disconnect power or turn off the main disconnect switch until the projector 
has cooled down (the fan stops) and the power button stops blinking. Otherwise, you might 
shorten the life of the lamp.

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.
