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	supplied	the	 AC	power	cord	does	not	match	your	 AC	outlet,	contact	your	sales	dealer.

To the AC outlet .
(120	V	AC)
For Continental EuropeFor the U  .S .A .  and Canada
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	the	projector	on.
		CAUTION
For	safety,	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.
Connecting	the	AC	Power	Cord

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	a	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	page
 5 1	for	
locking	operation	of	the	projector	with	your	PIN	code.
After	the	OK	icon	disappears,	
you	can	operate	the	projector.

CAUTION ON HANDLING 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	 76	of	this	 manual	
and	keep	it	at	hand.	Should	the	PIN	code	be	
missing	or	forgotten,	consult	your	dealer	or	
service	center.
✔Notes:
	 •	When	the	Logo	select	function	is	set	to	 “Off,”	
the	logo	will	not	be	shown	on	the	screen	(p.50).

	 •	If	the	correct	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.
See	page	49	for	the	Lamp	control	status.
✔Note:
	 •	The	Filter	warning	and	Lamp	replacement	
icons	may	appear	on	the	screen	depending	
on	the	usage	state	of	the	projector.

DO	NOT	UNPLUG	 THE	AC	POWER	CORD	 WHILE	
THE	COOLING	FANS	 ARE	RUNNING	OR	BEFORE	
THE	POWER	INDICATOR	STOPS	BLINKING.	
OTHERWISE	IT	 WILL	RESULT	IN	SHORTENING	
THE	LAMP	LIFE.
3When	the	projector	has	cooled	down	enough,	the

✔Notes:
	 •	When	the	On	start	function	is	set	to	 “On,”	the	
projector	will	be	turned	on	automatically	by	
connecting	the	 AC	power	cord	to	an	 AC	outlet	(p.53).
	 •	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	 TEMP.	indicator	blinks	or	all	the	
five	indicators	on	the	top	panel	blink,	see	 “Warning	
Indicators”	on	page	61.
	 •	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.
