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. (See pages 15-17 for
connection.)
Connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the
projector.
The AC outlet must be near this equipment
and must be easily accessible.
CAUTION
For safety, 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 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 AC power cord does not match your AC outlet, contact your sales dealer.
