INFORMATION
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A 
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to 
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is 
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can 
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with 
the operation manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. 
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful 
interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at 
his own expense.

PRODUCT DISPOSAL
This product utilizes 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, the Electronics Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org, 
the lamp recycling organization www.lamprecycle.org, or Sharp at 
1-800-BE-SHARP.
U.S.A. ONLY
Caution Concerning Lamp Replacement
This projector utilizes a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp 
failure can be attributed to numerous sources such as: excessive shock, improper cooling, surface 
scratches or deterioration of the lamp due to a lapse of usage time.
The period of time up to failure largely varies depending on the individual lamp and/or the condition 
and the frequency of use. It is important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking.
When the lamp replacement indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated, it is recommended 
that the lamp be replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating 
normally.
Should the lamp break, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside of the 
projector. In such a case, it is recommended you contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector 
Dealer or Service Center to assure safe operation.
Should the lamp break, the glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage or gas contained in the 
lamp may be vented into the room from the exhaust vent. Because the gas in this lamp includes 
mercury, ventilate the room well if the lamp breaks and avoid all exposure to the released gas. In 
case of exposure to the gas, consult a doctor as soon as possible.
Caution
Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may 
cause burns or injury.
Wait at least one hour after the power cord is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to 
fully cool before removing the lamp unit.
Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp unit or the inside of the projector. 
Do not loosen other screws except for the lamp unit cover and lamp unit.
Make sure to reset the lamp timer only when replacing the lamp. If you reset the lamp timer and 
continue to use the same lamp, this may cause the lamp to become damaged or explode.
Carefully change the lamp by following the instructions described on pages 
56 to 58.
* If you wish, you may have the lamp replaced at your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector 
Dealer or Ser vice Center.
*  If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized  Projector Dealer or Ser vice Center for repair.

Observe the following safeguards when setting up your 
projector.
Caution concerning the lamp unit
Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp 
ruptures. In case of lamp rupture, contact 
your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector 
Dealer or Service Center 
for replacement.
See “Regarding the Lamp” 
on page 
56.
Caution concerning the setup of the 
projector
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 often. 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. 
Rest your eyes occasionally.
Continuously watching the screen for long 
hours will cause eye strain. Take regular 
breaks to rest your eyes.
Do not set up the projector in places
exposed 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 diffi cult. Close the curtains 
and dim the lights when setting up the 
screen in a sunny or bright room.
Caution regarding placing of the projector
Place the projector on a level site within the 
adjustment range (9 degrees) of the 
adjustment foot.
After the projector is purchased, a faint 
smell from the vent may appear when the 
power is fi rst turned on. This is normal and 
is not a malfunction. It will disappear after 
the projector is used for a while.
■
■
■
■
■
■
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.
Use the projector at altitudes of 2,300 
meters (7,500 feet) or less.
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 falling down.
Do not subject the projector to hard 
impact and/or vibration.
Protect the lens so as not to hit or damage 
the surface of the lens.
Avoid locations with extremes of 
temperature.
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.
Ensure that the intake vent and the exhaust 
vent are not obstructed.
If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a 
protection circuit will automatically put the 
projector into Standby mode to prevent 
overheat damage. This does not indicate a 
malfunction. (See pages 
54 and 55.) 
Remove the projector 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.
