Installation

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.

Installation

Enter a PIN code

Use the Point ▲▼ buttons to enter a number. Press the Point ► button to fix the number and move the red frame pointer to the next box. The number changes to . If you fixed an incorrect number, use the Point ◄ button to move the pointer to the number you want to correct, and then enter the correct number.

Repeat this step to complete entering a four-digit number.

After entering the four-digit number, move the pointer to Set. 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 () will turn red for a moment. 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 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 pages 56-57 for locking operation of the projector with your PIN code.

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 79 of this manual and keep it on hand. Should the PIN code be missing or forgotten, consult your dealer or service center.

PIN Code Input Dialog Box

After the OK icon disappears, you can operate the projector.

Note:

•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.

21

Basic Operation

Turning Off the Projector

1	Press the ON/STAND-BY button on the top control or
	on the remote control, and Power off? appears on the
	screen.
2	Press the ON/STAND-BY button again to turn off the
	projector. The POWER indicator starts to blink red, and
	the cooling fans keep running (You can select the level
	of fans’ quietness and speed. See "Fan" on page 58.).
		Power off? disappears after 4 seconds.
	At this time, you can unplug the AC power cord even if
	the fans are still running.
3	When the projector has cooled down enough, the
	POWER indicator stops blinking and you can turn on

the projector.

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

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.

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.54).

•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 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.

•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.
