Direct Power Off
You can disconnect the power cable and move
the projector as soon as your presentation is
finished, because the cooling fan keeps oper-
ating until the lamp is cooled. For fixed instal-
lation systems, this
means you can turn
off the room’s main
power without waiting
for the projector to
cool down.
