15 Installation Connecting the AC Power Cord This projector uses nominal input voltages of V or V AC and it automatically selects a correct input voltage. It is designed to work with the 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 on the projector. (See pages 15 and 16 for connection.) CAUTION For safety, unplug the AC power cord when the projector is not in use. When the 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. The AC outlet must be near this equipment and must be easily accessible. NOTE ON THE POWER CORD AC power cord must meet the requirements of the country where you use the projector. Confirm the AC plug type with the chart below and a proper AC power cord must be used. If the supplied AC power cord does not match your AC outlet, contact your sales dealer.

18 Basic Operation Turning On the Projector Complete peripheral connections (with a computer, VCR, etc.) before turning on the projector. Connect the projector's AC power cord into an AC outlet. The POWER indicator blinks red for a moment and then turns to steady red. Press the POWER ON-OFF button on the top control or on the remote control. The POWER indicator turns green lighting and the cooling fans start to operate. The preparation display appears on the screen and the countdown starts. After the countdown, the input source that was last selected and the Lamp mode status icon (see page 41) will appear on the screen. If the projector is locked with a PIN code, PIN code Input Dialog Box appears. Enter the PIN code as instructed below. 16 The preparation display disappears after 20 seconds. Selected Input Source and Lamp Mode Lamp mode (See page 41 for Lamp mode.) Enter a PIN code Select a number by pressing the Point 7 8 buttons and fix the number with the SELECT button. The number will change to " ". If you fixed a wrong number, move the pointer to "Set" or "Clear" once by pressing the Point d button, then return to "PIN code". Enter the correct number. Repeat this step to complete entering a four-digit number. When the four-digit number is fixed, the pointer will automatically move to "Set". Press the SELECT button so that you can start to operate the projector. If you enter a wrong PIN code, "PIN code" and the number ( ) will turn red and disappear. Enter a 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. PIN code Input Dialog Box Pointer After the OK icon disappears, you can operate the projector. Basic Operation A PIN code consists of a four-digit number. Refer to PIN code lock function in Setting on page 43 for locking the 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 special care in setting a new PIN code; write down the number in column on page 59 of this manual and keep it at hand. Should the PIN code be missing or forgotten, consult your dealer or service center. 17

19 Basic Operation Turning Off the Projector Press the POWER ON-OFF button on the top control or on the remote control, and the message "Power off?" appears on the screen. Press the POWER ON-OFF button again to turn off the projector. The POWER indicator starts to blink red and it continues blinking while the cooling fans are operating for about 90 seconds. (About 120 seconds when the fan mode is L2. See page 44.) When the projector has cooled down enough to be turned on again, the POWER indicator stops blinking and turns to steady red. Then you can unplug the AC power cord. The message disappears after 4 seconds. TO MAINTAIN THE LIFE OF LAMP, ONCE YOU TURN THE PROJECTOR ON, WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT OFF. DO NOT UNPLUG THE AC POWER CORD WHILE THE COOLING FANS ARE RUNNING OR BEFORE THE POWER INDICATOR STOPS BLINKING. OTHERWISE IT WILL RESULT IN SHORTENING THE LAMP LIFE. Note: You cannot turn on the projector during the cooling period with the POWER indicator blinking red. Turn it on after the POWER indicator stops blinking and turns to steady red. When the On start function is on, the projector is turned on automatically by connecting the AC power cord to an AC outlet. (See page 41 for the On start function.) Do not operate the projector continuously without rest. Continuous use may result in shortening the lamp life. Turn off the projector and rest it for about an hour in every 24 hours. The running speed of cooling fans is changed according to the temperature inside the projector. If the WARNING indicator blinks or turns red, see Warning Indicator on page
