Basic Operations 35
Putting the 2000i into Standby Mode
For normal operation, you don’t need to turn off the computer or the projector at the end of a
session or at the end of the day. Just log off the computer (for security) and then turn off the
projector lamp (to conserve its life) by pressing the Lamp Off button on the control panel.
NOTE: If you won’t use the 2000i for an extended period, you should turn off the computer and the
projector.
1. Log off by selecting Start > Shut Down.
NOTE: Logging off enhances system security. It also gives users a consistent initial
interface—the system logon screen—when they turn on the projector lamp.
2. Press the Lamp Off button to put the projector into reversible standby mode for three minutes.
Although the screen appears black, the projector lamp remains on for three minutes so you
can immediately restore the image (if necessary) by pressing any button on the control panel.
After three minutes have elapsed, the lamp cools down for 60 seconds and then turns off.
To skip the three-minute reversible standby period, press and hold the Lamp Off button for
three seconds. Release the button. The lamp cools down for 60-seconds and then turns off.
CAUTION
The projector inside the 2000i has been designed for use under normal operating
conditions only. Normal operating conditions are defined as product use that does
not exceed 8 hours per day and 260 days per year. Exceeding these operating
conditions could cause projector damage. Damage caused by such extended use
will not be covered by the product warranty.
To maintain normal operating conditions, make sure the projector is in standby
mode outside of normal, daily (8 hour) operation. In standby mode, the lamp is
turned off, while the projector remains on. Be sure to press the Lamp Off button in
the control panel at the end of the day, and your projector will remain in standby
mode until you press the Lamp On button the next day.
NOTE: You can also configure the computer’s power management settings so that
the computer stops sending a video signal after a period of idle time, turning off the
projector lamp (see page 27 for more information).
