The wall outlet or the circuit breaker shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible 
when problems occur. If the following problems occur, cut off the power supply immediately.
Continued use of the projector in these conditions will result in fire or electric shock, or will cause visual 
impairment.
 fIf foreign objects or water get inside the projector

, cut off the power supply.
 fIf the projector is dropped or the cabinet is broken, cut of

f the power supply.
 fIf you notice smoke, strange smells or noise coming from the projector

, cut off the power supply.
Please contact an Authorized Service Center for repairs, and do not attempt to repair the \
projector yourself.
During a thunderstorm, do not touch the projector or the cable.
Electric shocks can result.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cord, the power plug, or \
the power connector.
If the power cord is used while damaged, electric shocks, short-circuits or fire will result.
 f Do not damage the power cord, make any modifications to it, disassemble it, place it near any hot objects, 
bend it excessively

, twist it, pull it, place heavy objects on top of it or wrap it into a bundle.
Consult an Authorized Service Center for any repairs to the power cord, the power p\
lug, or the power 
connector that might be necessary.
Do not use anything other than the provided power cord.
Failure to observe this will result in electric shocks or fire. Please note that if you do not use the provided power 
cord to ground the device on the side of the outlet, this may result in \
electric shocks.
Completely insert the power plug into the wall outlet.
If the plug is not inserted correctly, electric shocks or overheating will result.
 f Do not use plugs which are damaged or wall outlets which are coming loos\
e from the wall.
Fully attach the power connector (projector-side) to the  termi\
nal.
A

 power connector that is not completely attached may result in fires caused by electric shocks or heat 
generation.
Do not handle the power plug and power connector with wet hands.
Failure to observe this will result in electric shocks.
Use an outlet supporting 30 A independently when using the projector with 200 V to 240 V alternating \
current. 
Use an outlet supporting 15 A independently when using the projector with 100 V to 120 V alternating \
current.
Using an outlet together with another device may result in fires due to heat generation.
Do not overload the wall outlet.
If the power supply is overloaded (ex., by using too many adapters), overheating may occur and fire will result.
Clean the power plug regularly to prevent it from becoming covered in du\
st.
Failure to observe this will cause a fire.
 f If dust builds up on the power plug, the resulting humidity can damage t\
he insulation.
 fIf not using the projector for an extended period of time, pull the power plug out from the wall outlet.
Pull the power plug out from the wall outlet and wipe it with a dry clot\
h regularly

.
