Turning Off the Projector

Note:
• When the front cover is closed during operation, the projector is automatically turned off in 5 seconds for safety. Be sure to turn off the projector by pressing the POWER ON-OFF button on the top control or on the remote control after use.
• The projector cannot be turned on during the cooling period with the POWER indi­cator flashing red. You can turn it on again after the POWER indicator lights red.
• Do not use the projector for more than 24 hours continuously. Turn off the projec­tor at least once in 24 hours and give it a rest. Continuous use may result in short­ening the lamp lifetime.
• This projector monitors internal temperature and automatically controls the running speed of the cooling fans.
• If the WARNING indicator flashes or lights red, see “Warning Indicator” on page 43.
Complete peripheral connections (with a computer, VCR, etc.) before turning on the projector.
