in use. To help save energy if the projector is left running and no source
is detected, the “Auto Power Off” feature automatically turns off the
projector after a set period of time.
ECO AV MUTE
Stay in control of your presentation with the Eco AV mute feature.
Direct your audience’s attention away from the screen by blanking the

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
To achieve the maximum 6500hrs2lamp life, the projector should
be operating in Eco+mode and the auto power off feature should
be enabled to automatically switch off the projector if it is accidentally
left on. Enabling the <0.5W standby mode ensures the minimum
energy consumption when the projector is not switched on.
We know that improving our products is the best
way to reduce our impact on the environment.
That’s why at Optoma, we design our products
to have a long usable life, use fewer materials,
ship with the minimum packaging and be free
