Introduction
Ensure that you 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 Authorized Projec-
tor Dealer or Service
Center for a replacement.
See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 66.
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 hu-
midity, 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.
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.
The projector may be safely tilted to a
maximum angle of 12 degrees.
■Placement should be within ±12 degrees of
horizontal.
Do not use the projector upside down.
■This can cause personal injury due to rise in
internal temperature.
Warning about placing the projector in a
high position
■When placing the projector in a high posi-
tion, ensure to secure it carefully to avoid per-
sonal injury caused by the projector falling
down.
Do not subject the projector to hard im-
pact 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 cause eye strain. Ensure to occa-
sionally rest your eyes.
Avoid locations with extremes of tem-
perature.
■The operating temperature of the projector
is from 41°F to 104°F (+5°C to +40°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 7 7/8 inches (20 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 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 64 and 65.). 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.

Info
•The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-
perature, and its performance is automati-
cally controlled. The sound of the fan may
change during projector operation due to
changes in the fan speed. This does not
indicate malfunction.
•Do not unplug the power cord during pro-
jection or cooling fan operation. This can
cause damage due to rise in internal tem-
perature, as the cooling fan also stops.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Caution regarding usage of the projector
■When using the projector, ensure not to sub-
ject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this
can result in damage. Take extra care with the
lens. If you are not to use the projector for a
long time, be sure to unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other
cables connected to it.
■Do not use the projector by holding the lens.
■When storing the projector, ensure to attach
the lens cap to the projector. (See page 11.)
■Do not expose the storage case or projector
to direct sunlight or near heat sources. The
storage case or projector may change color
or become deformed.
Other connected equipment
■When connecting a computer or other audio-
visual equipment to the projector, make the
connections AFTER unplugging the power
cord of the projector from the AC outlet and
turning off 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, ensure
to use an appropriate power cord for the coun-
try you are in.
Temperature monitor function
■If the projector starts to over-
heat due to setup problems
or blockage of the air vents,
“
” and “” will illumi-
nate in the lower left corner of the picture. If the
temperature continues to rise, the lamp will turn
off, the temperature warning indicator on the
projector will blink, and after a 90-second cool-
ing-off period the projector will enter the standby
mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on
page 64 for details.

IntroductionUsing the Remote Control
Inserting the Batteries
The batteries (two R-03 batteries (“AAA”
size, UM/SUM-4, HP-16 or similar)) are sup-
plied in the package.
1Press the ▲ mark on the cover and
slide it in the direction of the arrow.
2Insert the batteries.
•Insert the batteries making sure the po-
larities correctly match the 
 and 
marks inside the battery compartment.
3Attach the cover and slide it un-
til it clicks into place.
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please follow the precautions below.
 Caution
•Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the  and  marks inside the battery compart-
ment.
•Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types.
•Do not mix new and old batteries.
This may shorten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to leak.
•Remove the batteries from the remote control once they have run out, as leaving them in can cause them to leak.
Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore ensure to first wipe them and then remove them
using a cloth.
•The batteries included with this projector may run down in a short period, depending on how they are kept.
Ensure to replace them as soon as possible with new batteries.
•Remove the batteries from the remote control if you will not be using the remote control for a long time.
Usable Range
The remote control can be used to control
the projector within the ranges shown in the
illustration.
Note
•The signal from the remote control can be
reflected off a screen for easy operation.
However, the effective distance of the sig-
nal may differ depending on the screen
material.
When using the remote control:
•Ensure not to drop, expose to moisture or high
temperature.
•The remote control may malfunction under a
fluorescent lamp. In this case, move the pro-
jector away from the fluorescent lamp.
