Turning off the projector
You can turn the projector off simply by toggling the power switch to the off position. You can also press the remote's Power button to place the projector in the Off state while it is running. When the Power button is pressed twice (once to start the power-down process and a second time to verify that you want to power the projector off), the lamp turns off and the LED blinks green for one (1) minute while the fans continue to run to cool the lamp. While the LED is blinking green, the projector does not accept any keypad and remote control input. When the lamp has cooled, the LED lights solid green and the fans slow down to minimal speed. To turn off the projector, toggle the power switch to the off position. NOTE: Once the projector has been toggled off, you must wait for one (1) minute before turning the projector on again. However, if the remote was used to power the projector to the Off state you do not need to wait one minute to turn it on again.

Using the remote control
The remote uses two (2) provided AA batteries. They are easily installed by sliding the cover off the remote's back, aligning the + and - ends of the batteries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover. Caution: When replacing the batteries, be aware that using batteries other than the type provided with the projector may risk severe damage to the remote. When disposing of the batteries, be sure to do so in an environmentally proper manner. To operate, point the remote at the projection screen or at the projector (not at the computer). Pressing the remote's Power button when the projector's Power toggle switch is in the Off position does not cause the projector to power up. You need to put the projector's Power toggle switch in the On position to let the remote power on the projector. When the projector is running, you can press the remote's Power button to place the projector in the Off state (see page 22 for shutdown info) and power it off. Press the remote's Menu button to open the projector's menu system. Use the arrow buttons to navigate, and the Select button to select features and adjust values in the menus. The remote also has Volume and Mute buttons to control the sound, and Video and Computer buttons to switch between sources. Use the Blank button to display a blank screen instead of the current slide (you can choose which color is displayed, see page 40); use the Effect button to invoke a user-definable action, such as freeze, or change your aspect ratio for viewing DVDs (see page 40 to learn to program this button). [. . . ] Twenty hours before the lamp life expires, the message "Change lamp" appears on the screen at startup. In this case, after replacing the lamp you must reset the lamp hours by simultaneously pressing both Volume buttons on the keypad and holding them for 10 seconds. Use only a replacement lamp with the same type and rating as the original lamp.
