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 the projector on.

Connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the projector.

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 this projector is connected to an outlet with the AC power cord, it is in Stand-by mode and consumes a little electric power.

NOTE ON THE POWER CORD

AC power cord must meet requirement 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 AC power cord does not match your AC outlet, contact your sales dealer.

TO MAINTAIN THE LIFE OF THE LAMP, ONCE

YOU TURN THE PROJECTOR ON, WAIT AT

LEAST FIVE MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT

OFF.

DO NOT OPERATE THE PROJECTOR

CONTINUOUS USE MAY RESULT IN

SHORTENING THE LAMP LIFE. TURN OFF THE

PROJECTOR AND LET STAND FOR ABOUT AN

HOUR IN EVERY 24 HOURS.

Note:

•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.52).

•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 lights red, see “WARNING indicator” on page 59.

•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 poweroff.
