Connecting the AC Power Cord
This projector uses nominal input voltages of 100-240 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 center.Connect the projector with all peripheral equipment before turning the projector on.
Note:   Unplug the AC power cord when the projector is not in use.  When this projector is \
connected   to an outlet with the AC power cord, it is in Stand-by mode and consumes a little electric power.
