Shutting down the projectorThe projector automatically blanks the screen after no active source is 
detected for 30 minutes. This blank screen helps preserve the life of the pro-
jector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or 
keypad button is pressed.

Screen Save in the Settings>System menu. See page 36.
Pow e r  S av e
The projector also has a Power Save feature that automatically turns the 
lamp off after no signals are detected for 20 minutes. After 10 additional 
minutes with no signal, the projector powers down. If an active signal is 
received before the projector powers down, the image is displayed. You 
must press the Power button to display an image after 30 minutes have 
passed. When Power Save is enabled, Screen Save is disabled. See page 36.
Turning off the projector

turn the projector off by pressing the power button again within 3 seconds. 
You can cancel the shutdown by not pressing the power button a second 
time. The lamp turns off and the LED blinks green for over 1 minute while 
the fans continue to run to cool the lamp. When the lamp has cooled, the 
LED lights green and the fans stop. Press the power switch on the back of 
the projector and unplug the power cable to completely power off the pro-
jector.
Troubleshooting your setupIf your image appears correctly on the screen, skip to the next section. If it

the state of the projector and can help you troubleshoot. See “LED Behav-
ior” on page 46. for information on LED behavior and what it means.
The following tables show common problems. In some cases, more than one 
possible solution is provided. Try the solutions in the order they are pre-
sented. When the problem is solved, you can skip the additional solutions.
