Room Control Instructions (connecting to projectors)

Room Control Instructions

When the projector is turned on, the “PROJ ON” button indicator will blink while the projector warms up.

You cannot change the displayed device until the projector has warmed up and the indicator stops blinking.

The default displayed device is the internal PC.

When the projector is turned off, it will not turn on again until the lamp has cooled down (up to 3 min).

During this time the “PROJ OFF” button’s indicator will blink.  When the blinking stops, the projector will then accept a command to turn on.
