Notes on the AC Power Cord
AC Power Cord must meet the requirement of countries where you use this projector.
Please confirm your AC plug type with the graphics below and ensure that the proper
AC Power Cord is used. If the supplied AC Power Cord does not match your AC out-
let, please contact your sales dealer. This projector is equipped with a grounding type
AC line plug. Please ensure that your outlet fits the plug. Do not defeat the safety pur-
pose of this grounding type plug. We highly recommend using a video source device
also equipped with a grounding type AC line plug to prevent signal interference due to
voltage fluctuations.
