•

 

The mains lead (power cable) on the Projector comes with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse.

•

 The rating of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug and, if it requires replacing, a fuse 
approved by ASTA or BSI to BS 1362 of the same rating must be used.

•

 If the plug has a detachable fuse cover, remember to place the fuse cover back if you need to 
change the fuse.

•

 Do NOT use a plug without the fuse cover. If the fuse cover is missing, contact your nearest 
BenQ Customer Service Center for assistance.
