Installation

This projector uses nominal input voltages of 100-120
V or 200-240 V AC. This projector 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.
Consult your authorized dealer or service station if you
are not sure of the type of power being supplied.
Connect the projector with all peripheral equipment
before turning the projector on. (See pages 15-17 for
connection.)

Connecting the AC Power Cord

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

NOTE ON THE POWER CORD

AC power cord must meet requirement of the country where you use the projector.

• 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 57.

• While the POWER indicator is blinking, lamp is being cooled down and the projector cannot be turned
on. Wait until the POWER indicator stops blinking to be turned on 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.
