with a single button push; additional 
 
Eco settings are easily accessible  
via intuitive menus. 
Picture Mute (Instant Off/On)

and the picture’s muted instantly – 
cutting power consumption down to 
30% and saving lamp hours. Another 
touch and the projector ’s instantly 
powered back up to resume your 
presentation. There’s also a separate 
button to mute audio only.Auto Dimming
 
Projector brightness is gradually reduced 
automatically if there’s no input signal, 
or after a pre-set time – cutting power 
consumption and saving energy bills.
Off and Go
 
Switch off and unplug at the end of your 
presentation, then move on to your next 
meeting while the projector is still cooling 
down without damage to the lamp.
Direct Power On/Off
 
There’s no need to go through Standby 
mode when powering up the projector: 
the projector activates as soon as 
 
power is supplied.
Picture Freeze
 
Picture Freeze is useful during 
presentations where users need to look 
at other material on their PC ’s screen 
without the viewing audience being 
aware. Freeze the current image and 
users can use their PC independently 
 
of the display from the projector.
Security that’s built in
 
Your investment ’s protected with security 
measures including password protection, 
panel key lock, mechanical security 
 
lock and anti-theft bar.
