At power on the system will default to showing the PC input and will set the master volume to 60%.
The POWER OFF sequence is initiated by pressing the POWER ON/OFF button. The projector and switcher will be switched off and after 15 seconds the electric screen will be raised. The process takes 1m15s however the fan in the projector may continue to run for some time afterwards while it cools down. During the cooling process the LED indicator on the projector will flash green. The system should not be powered up again until the LED indicator is lit steady green.
If used, the document camera and PC need to be switched off independently.

ROOM OCCUPANCY SENSOR
The room is fitted with a PIR sensor that reacts to movement in the room. If the system has not detected movement AND no button has been pressed on the control panel for a period of 30 minutes the system will power down to save energy and prolong lamp life.
Each time movement is sensed the POWER ON/OFF button will blink orange. This provides visual indication that the sensor is operating correctly.

When the amplifier receives an audio signal it will automatically be brought out of Standby Mode and will produce amplified sound.
IMAGE BLANK
When the blank image button is pressed the projector will switch to low power mode to reduce energy consumption and prolong lamp life. Turning off image blank will revert the projector to normal operation.
