voltage.  It is designed to work with single-phase power systems
having a grounded neutral conductor.  To reduce risk of electrical
shock, do not plug into any other type of power system.
Consult your authorized dealer or service station if you are not sure
of the type of power supply being in use.
Connect a projector with a peripheral equipment before turning a
projector on.  (Refer to page 15 –16 for connection.)
