							  CAUTION
The	AC	outlet	must	be	near	this	equipment	and	must	be	easily	
accessible.
Connectin� the AC Power Cord
Connect	the	 AC	power	cord	(supplied)	to	the	
projector.
17
Note:
Unplug	the	AC	power	cord	when	the	projector	is	not	in	
use.	When	the	projector	is	connected	to	an	outlet	with	the	
AC	power	cord,	it	is	in	stand-by	mode	and	consumes	a	
little	electric	power.
Installation
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.

over	again.
What is PIN code?
PIN	(Personal	Identification	Number)	code	is	 a	security	 code	
that	allows	the	person	who	knows	it	to	operate	the	projector.	
Setting	the	PIN	code	prevents	unauthorized	use	of	the	
projector.	
A	PIN	code	consists	of	a	four-digit	number.	Refer	to	the	PIN	
code	lock	function	in	the	Setting	Menu	on	pages	47–48	for	
locking	operation	of	the	projector	with	your	PIN	code.
Note:
• When the Input Search function is set on 
On1 or On2, the input signal will be searched 
automatically (p.44).
• When the Logo select function is "Off,” the 
logo will not be displayed on the screen 
(p.42).
• When the "Countdown off" or "Off" is selected 
in the Display function, the countdown will not 
be shown on the screen (p.41).
• During the countdown period, all operations 
are invalid.
• If the PIN code number is not entered within 
three minutes after the PIN code dialog box 
appeared, the projector will be turned off 
automatically.
• The “1234” is set as the initial PIN code at the 
factory.
CAUTION ON HANDLING THE PIN CODE
If 	you 	forget 	your 	PIN 	code, 	the 	projector 	can 	no	
longer 	be 	started. 	Take 	a 	special 	care 	in 	setting 	a	
new	 PIN	code;	 write	down	 the	number	 in	a	column	
on 	page 	70 	of 	this 	manual 	and 	keep 	it 	on 	hand.	
Should	 the	PIN	code	 be	missing	 or	forgotten,	 consult	
your	dealer	or	service	center.

turned	on	again,	the	POWER	indicator	stops	blinking.
“Power	off”	disappears	after	4	seconds.
Power off?
Note:
• When the On start function is “On,” this projector is turned 
on automatically by connecting the AC power cord to an 
AC outlet (p. 46).
• The running speed of cooling fans is changed according 
to the temperature inside the projector. 
• Do not put the projector in a case before the projector is 
cooled enough.
• If the WARNING indicator blinks or emits a red light, see 
“Warning Indicator” on page 54.
• While the POWER indicator is blinking, the lamp is being 
cooled down and the projector cannot be turned on. Wait 
until the POWER indicator stops blinking to turn on the 
projector again.
• The fan rotation will terminate directly if the AC power 
cord is unplugged immediately after the projector is turned 
off.
• The projector can be turned on after the POWER indicator 
turns red. The waiting time to restart will be shortened 
when the normal power-off processing for fan cooling is 
completed, compared with the time the AC power cord is 
immediately unplugged after the power-off.
