To switch your projector to Service mode
Follow the instructions in the Unifi Projector Update Wizard:

Your projector’s status light flashes green for a few seconds.
-
Your projector’s status light flashes amber for approximately three minutes during stage two of the cooling process.
-
When your projector’s status light glows solid amber, your Unifi 35 projector’s cooling process is complete and it is safe to disconnect the power cable.
-
Disconnect your Unifi 35 projector’s power cable from the power plug. Ensure that the status light turns off. If the status light doesn’t turn off, disconnect the USB cable that connects your computer to the interactive whiteboard.
