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. (See pages 15-17 for connection.)

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.

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

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.
