This projector uses nominal input voltages of 100 – 120 V or 200 
– 240 V AC and it automatically selects a correct input voltage. It is 
designed to work with the 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 
it on.
  CAUTION
The AC outlet must be near this equipment and must be easily 
accessible.
Connecting the AC Power Cord
Connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the 
projector.
