This projector uses nominal input voltages of 100–120 V or 200–
240 V AC and it automatically selects the correct input voltage. It 
is designed to work with single-phase power systems having a 
grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, 
do not plug into any other type of power system.
If you are not sure of the type of power being supplied, consult 
your authorized dealer or service station.
Connect the projector with all peripheral equipment before turning 
on the projector. 
 CAUTION
For safety, unplug the AC power cord when the projector is not 
in use. When the projector is connected to an outlet with AC 
power cord, it is in stand-by mode and consumes a little electric 
power.
Connecting the AC Power Cord
Connect  the  AC  power  cord  (supplied)  to  the 
projector.
The  AC  outlet  must  be  near  this  equipment  and 
must be easily accessible.
Installation
NOTE ON THE POWER CORD
AC power cord must meet the requirements of the country where you use the projector.
Confirm the AC plug type with the chart below and proper AC power cord must be used.
If the supplied AC power cord does not match your AC outlet, contact your sales dealer.
