Be sure to read 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 Autho-
rized Projector Dealer or Ser-
vice Center for a replace-
ment.
See “Replacing the Lamp” on
page 71.
Cautions 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 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 Autho-
rized Projector Dealer or Service Center.
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 difficult. Close the curtains and dim
the lights when setting up the screen in a
sunny or bright room.
The projector may safely be tilted to
a maximum angle of 10 degrees.

Placement should be
within ±10 degrees.
Do not subject the projector to hard
impact and/or vibration.

Take care with 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 make your eyes tired. Be sure to
rest your eyes sometimes.
Avoid locations with high or low tem-
perature.

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

The storage temperature for 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 11.8 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 turn off the
projector. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion. 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 oper-
ating condition.
Cautions regarding the transporta-
tion of the projector

When transporting the projector, be sure not
to subject it to hard impact and/or vibration,
as this can result in damage. Take extra
caution with the lens. Before moving the
projector, be sure to retract the antenna and
the card eject button. Also, be sure to unplug
the power cord from the wall outlet, discon-
nect any other cables connected to it and
retract the antenna.

Other connected equipment

When connecting a computer or other audio-
visual equipment to the projector, make the
connections AFTER turning off the projector
and the equipment to be connected.

Please read the operation manuals of the pro-
jector and the equipment to be connected for
instructions on how to make the connections.
Using the projector in other countries

The power supply voltage and the shape of
the plug may vary depending on the region
or country you are using the projector in.
When using the projector overseas, be sure
to use the appropriate power cord for the
country you are in.
Temperature monitor
function

If the projector starts to
overheat due to setup prob-
lems or blockage of the air vents, “
” and
“
” will blink in the lower left corner of
the picture. If the temperature continues to
rise, the lamp will turn off, the TEMPERA-
TURE WARNING indicator on the projector
will blink, and after a 90-second cooling-off
period the power will shut off. Refer to “Main-
tenance Indicators” on page 70 for details.
Info
•The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-
perature, and its performance is automatically
controlled. The sound of the fan may change
during projector operation due to changes in
the fan speed. This does not indicate mal-
function.
•Do not unplug the power cord during
projection or cooling fan operation. This can
create damage due to the rise in internal
temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.
