							SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A 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 13A socket outlet, as a serious
electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.
Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:
• If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.
• The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Important Safeguards
ATTENTION: Please read all of these instructions before you operate your LCD Projector
for the first time. Save these instructions for future reference.
For your own protection and prolonged operation of your LCD Projector, be sure to read the following “Important
Safeguards” carefully, before use.
This projector has been engineered and manufactured to ensure your personal safety. But IMPROPER USE CAN
RESULT IN POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARDS. In order not to defeat the safeguards
incorporated into this LCD Projector, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.
1. Unplug the LCD Projector from the wall outlet before cleaning.
2. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
3. Do not use attachments not recommended by the LCD Projector manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
4. Do not use the LCD Projector near water; for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool, etc. Never spill liquid into the projector.
5. Do not place the LCD Projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The LCD Projector may fall, which may cause
serious injury to a child or an adult, and/or serious damage to the unit.
6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting—The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
7. LCD Projector equipment and cart combinations should be moved with care. Quick stops, exces-
sive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the equipment and cart combination to overturn.
8. Slots and openings in the cabinet back and bottom are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable
operation of the LCD Projector and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be covered with cloth or other material.
9. This LCD Projector should never be placed near or over a radiator or heating vent. The LCD Projector should not be
placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.
10. The LCD Projector should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the back of the projector or in the
specifications. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your LCD Projector dealer or local
power company.
11. Do not place the LCD Projector where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.
12. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD Projector.
13. To prevent damage to the projector due to lightning and power-line surges, unplug the projector from the power outlet,
when not in use.
14. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords with too many products, because this can result in fire or electric
shock.
15. Never push objects of any kind into the LCD Projector through the cabinet slots as they may touch high-voltage points
or cause a short circuit. This could result in a fire or electric shock.
16. Do not attempt to service the LCD Projector yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
17. Unplug the LCD Projector equipment from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the LCD Projector.
c. If the LCD Projector has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the LCD Projector does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as improper adjustment of other controls may cause
damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the LCD Projector to normal
operation.
e. If the LCD Projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the LCD Projector exhibits a distinct change in performance—this indicates a need for service.
18. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorised substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
19. This LCD Projector is provided with one of the following types of plugs. If the plug should fail to fit into the power outlet,
please contact your electrician.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
a. Two-wire type mains plug.
b. Three-wire grounding type mains plug with a grounding terminal.
This plug will only fit into a grounding type power outlet.

Cautions Concerning the Setup of the Projector

40˚C

5˚C
•The exhaust vent, the lamp cage cover and adjacent areas may be extremely
hot during projector operation. To prevent injury, do not touch these areas until
they have sufficiently cooled.
•Allow at least 10 cm of space between the cooling fan (exhaust vent) and the
nearest wall or obstruction.
•If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection device will automatically
turn off the projector lamp. This does not indicate a malfunction. Remove the
projector power cord from the wall outlet and wait at least 10 minutes. Then
turn on the power by plugging the power cord back in. This will return the
projector to the normal operating condition.
Notes on Operation
Temperature Monitor Function
If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or a dirty air filter, “TEMP.”
and “” will flash 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 flash, and after a 90-second cooling-off period the power will shut
off. Refer to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators” on page 38, for details.
•The cooling fan regulates the internal temperature, and its performance is
automatically controlled. The sound of the fan may change during projector operation
due to changes in the fan speed.
The laser pointer on the “Power” remote control emits a laser beam from the
laser pointer window. This is a Class II laser which may impair your sight if
directed into the eyes. The two marks shown on the left are caution labels for
the laser beam.
•Do not look into the laser pointer window or shine the laser beam on yourself or
others. (The laser beam used in this product is harmless when directed onto
the skin. However, be careful not to project the beam directly into the eyes.)
•Always use the laser pointer at temperatures between 
5°C and 
40°C.
•Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Cautions Concerning the Laser Pointer
 
Lamp Monitor Function
When the projector is turned on after the lamp has been used for 1,400 hours,
“LAMP” and “” will flash in the lower-left corner of the picture to advise you to
replace the lamp. At this point, take the projector to your nearest Sharp Authorised
LCD Projector Dealer or Service Centre to have the lamp replaced. If the lamp
has been used for 1,500 hours, the projector power will automatically turn off and
the projector will enter standby mode. Refer to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators”
on page 38, for details.
Laser pointer
window
CAUTION•This product contains a low power laser device. To ensure continued safety, do not
remove any cover or attempt to gain access to the inside of the product. Refer all
serving to qualified personnel.
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. If the projector is used in these environments, the lens and filter will
need to be cleaned (or the filter replaced) more often, and internal cleaning
may become necessary. 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 Authorised LCD Projector
Dealer or Service Centre.
