							SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 5A fuse. Should
the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked 
 or  and of the same rating as
above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the
mains plug and fit an appropriate type.
DANGER:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of
in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 5A socket outlet, as a serious
electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
WARNING:
THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.

This SHARP projector uses an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel. This very sophisticated panel contains 480,000
pixels (× RGB) TFTs (Thin Film Transistors). 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.
