pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against 
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio 
frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful 
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a 
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, 
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the 
interference by one or more of the following measures: 
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

AC Power Cord Requirement 
The AC Power Cord supplied with this projector meets the requirement for use in the country you 
purchased it. 
AC Power Cord for the United States and Canada: 
AC Power Cord used in the United States and Canada is listed by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and 
certified by the Canadian Standard Association (CSA). 
AC Power Cord has a grounding-type AC line plug. This is a safety feature to be sure that the plug will fit 
into the power outlet. Do not try to defeat this safety feature. Should you be unable to insert the plug into 
the outlet, contact your electrician. 
AC Power Cord for the United Kingdom: 
This cord is already fitted with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the 
pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse must be used 
of the same rating, marked thus . If the fuse cover is detachable, never use the plug with the cover 
omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin 
face of the plug (i.e. red or orange). Fuse covers are available from the Parts Department indicated in your 
User Instructions. 
If the plug supplied is not suitable for your socket outlet, it should be cut off and destroyed. The end of the 
flexible cord should be suitably prepared and the correct plug fitted. 
WARNING : 
A plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live socket outlet.
