Mode  menu and press  / .
Setting Auto Power Off
This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input source is detected  after a set period of time to prevent unnecessary waste of lamp life.

press  / . If the preset time lengths are no t suitable for your presentation, select Disable.  The projector will not automatically  shut down in a certain time period.
