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 outlet, please contact your 
sales dealer. This projector is equipped with a grounding type AC line plug. Please ensure
