Disconnecting
ÄCAUTION: Do not disconnect power or turn off the projector until the projector has cooled 
down (the fan stops) and the power button light stops blinking. Otherwise, you might shorten 
the life of the lamp.
1. Press the power button on the projector or remote control to turn off the projector.
The power button blinks during the two-minute cool-down period. Then, the 
projector enters Standby mode, which retains network connectivity.
2. You can disconnect video and audio equipment from the projector during the 
cool-down period but not the power cord.
✎If the projector is connected to a network, do not turn off the main disconnect switch 
or unplug power. Disconnecting the power breaks the network connection.
3. If you must unplug or remove the projector, wait until the power button light stops 
blinking. Then turn off the main disconnect switch on the back of the projector 
and unplug the power cord.
If you try to turn on the projector again during the cool-down period, it does not turn 
on. Wait until the cool-down period ends and the power button stops blinking.

System Management
This chapter explains how you can manage one or more projectors. If the projector  
is connected to a network, you can work from a central location by accessing the 
projector’s embedded web server, rather than being in the same room as the projector. 
You can check the projectors current status, change its configuration, program 
automatic shutdown times, and upgrade firmware—all from a remote location.
The web interface has been tested on Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP, Mac OS 9 
and 10, Internet Explorer 5.5 and above, and Netscape Navigator 7.0 and above.
