Unplug the power cords of both the projector and external equipment from the AC outlet before connecting the cables.

Connecting the AC Power Cord

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 it on.
Installation
CAUTION
The AC outlet must be near this equipment and must be easily accessible.
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.
Connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the projector.
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.

If you fixed an incorrect number, move the pointer to the number you want to correct by pressing the Point 7 button, and then select the correct number by pressing the Point ed buttons.
Repeat this step to complete entering a four-digit number. "1234" is set as the initial PIN code at the factory.
After entering the four-digit number, move the pointer to "Set" by pressing the Point 8 button. Press the SELECT button so that you can start to operate the projector.
If you entered an incorrect PIN code, "PIN code" and the number (✳✳✳✳) turns red. Enter the correct PIN code all 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.
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 68 of this manual and keep it at hand. Should the PIN code be missing or forgotten, consult your dealer or service center.
Note:
• When the Input Search function is set on On1 or On2, the input signal will be searched automatically (p.45).
• 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 correct PIN code number is not entered for 3 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.

Turning Off the Projector

Press the POWER ON-OFF button on the remote
1
control, and “Power off?” appears on the screen.
Press the POWER ON-OFF button again to turn off the
2
projector. The POWER indicator starts to blink red, and the cooling fans keep running. (You can select the level of the fans’ quietness and running speed. See page
49.) At this time you can unplug the AC power cord even if the fans are still running.
When the projector has cooled down enough to be
3
turned on again, the POWER indicator stops blinking.
TO MAINTAIN THE LAMP LIFE, ONCE YOU TURN THE PROJECTOR ON, WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT OFF.
DO NOT OPERATE THE PROJECTOR CONTINUOUSLY WITHOUT REST. CONTINUOUS USE MAY RESULT IN SHORTENING THE LAMP LIFE. TURN OFF THE PROJECTOR AND LET STAND FOR ABOUT AN HOUR IN EVERY 24 HOURS.
Basic Operation
“Power off” disappears after 4 seconds.
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 50.
• 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.
