this product to rain or moisture.
WARNING:FCC Regulations state that any unauthorized changes or modifications to
this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void
the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
The lightning flash with arrowhead sym-
bol, within an equilateral triangle, is in-
tended to alert the user to the presence
of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that may
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk or electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within a triangle
is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the product.

PRODUCT DISPOSALThis projector utilizes tin-lead solder, and a pressurized lamp containing a small amount of
mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations.
For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or, if you are
located in the United States of America, the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org .
This SHARP projector uses a DMD panel. This very sophisticated panel contains 786,432 (PG-
MB66X/PG-MB56X/XG-MB50X-L/XR-11XC-L/XR-10X-L) / 480,000 (XR-10S-L) pixels
(micromirrors). As with any high technology electronic equipment such as large screen TVs,
video systems and video cameras, there are certain acceptable tolerances that the equipment
must conform to.
This unit has some inactive pixels within acceptable tolerances which may result in inactive dots
on the picture screen. This will not affect the picture quality or the life expectancy of the unit.

8Observe the following safeguards when setting up your
projector.
Caution concerning the lamp unit


Potential hazard of glass par-
ticles if lamp ruptures. In
case of lamp rupture, contact
your nearest Sharp Autho-
rized Projector Dealer or Ser-
vice Center for replacement.
See “Replacing the Lamp” on
page  52.
Caution concerning the setup of the pro-
jector

 For minimal servicing and to maintain high
image quality, SHARP recommends that this
projector be installed in an area free from
humidity, dust and cigarette smoke. When the
projector is subjected to these environments,
the vents and lens must be cleaned more of-
ten. As long as the projector is regularly
cleaned, use in these environments will not
reduce the overall operation life of the unit.
Internal cleaning should only be performed
by a Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or
Service Center.
Do not set up the projector in places ex-
posed to direct sunlight or bright light.

Position the screen so that it is not in direct
sunlight or room light. Light falling directly on
the screen washes out the colors, making
viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim
the lights when setting up the screen in a
sunny or bright room.
Caution regarding placing of the projec-
tor

Place the projector on a level site within the
adjustment range (8 degrees) of the adjust-
ment foot.
When using the projector in high-altitude
areas such as mountains (at altitudes of
approximately 1,500 meters (4,900 feet)
or more)

When you use the projector in high-altitude
areas with thin air, set “Fan Mode” to “High”.
Neglecting this can affect the longevity of the
optical system.
Warning about placing the projector in
a high position

When placing the projector in a high position,
make certain it is carefully secure to avoid
personal injury caused by the projector fall-
ing down.
Do not subject the projector to hard im-
pact and/or vibration.

Protect the lens so as not to hit or damage
the surface of the lens.
Rest your eyes occasionally.

Continuously watching the screen for long
hours will cause eye strain. Take regular
breaks to rest your eyes.
Avoid locations with extremes of tem-
perature.

The operating temperature of the projector is
from 41°F to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C).

 The storage temperature of the projector is
from  –4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).
Do not block the exhaust and intake
vents.

Allow at least 11 13/16 inches (30 cm) of space
between the exhaust vent and the nearest
wall or obstruction.

 Be sure that the intake vent and the exhaust
vent are not obstructed.

 If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a pro-
tection circuit will automatically put the pro-
jector into standby mode to prevent overheat
damage. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion. (See pages  50 and  51.) Remove the pro-
jector power cord from the wall outlet and wait
at least 10 minutes. Place the projector where
the intake and exhaust vents are not blocked,
plug the power cord back in and turn on the
projector. This will return the projector to the
normal operating condition.

 After the projector is purchased, a faint smell
from the vent may appear when the power is
first turned on. This is normal and is not a
malfunction. It will disappear after the projec-
tor is used for a while.
