Ensure that you read the following safeguards when
setting up your projector.
Caution concerning the lamp unit
■Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp rup-
tures. In case of lamp rupture, contact your
nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer
or Service Center for replacement.  See “Re-
placing the Lamp” on page  96.
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 9 degrees.
■ Placement should be within 9 degrees of
horizontal.
If you have application requiring tilt angle
exceeding 9 degrees, please check with your
local Sharp sales office.
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.
Warning about placing the projector in a
high position
■ When placing the projector in a high posi-
tion, make certain it is carefully secured to
avoid personal injury caused by the projec-
tor 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. Take regular
breaks to rest your eyes.
Av oid 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).

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, make
sure you use an appropriate power cord for
the country you are in.
Temperature monitor function
■If the projector starts to over-
heat due to setup problems or
b lockage of the air vents, “
”
and “
”  will illuminate in
the lower left corner of the picture. If the tem-
perature continues to rise, the lamp will turn off,
the temperature warning indicator on the pro-
jector will blink, and after a 90-second cooling-
off period the projector will enter the standby
mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on
page  94 for details.
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.
• Even if you unplug the power cord after
projector operation, the cooling fan con-
tinues to run for a while. When you place
the projector into the storage case, make
sure that the cooling fan has stopped.
Optional lens installation
■ Be sure to have service personnel install the
optional lenses.
Do not block the intake and exhaust
vents.
■ Allow at least 11 13/16 inches (30 cm) of space
between the exhaust vent and the nearest
w all or obstruction.
■ Ensure that the intake vents 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  94 and  95.). 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.
Caution regarding usage of the projector
■ When  using the projector, take  care 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, make certain you  unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any
other cables connected to it.
■ Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.
■ When storing the projector, ensure you at-
tach the lens cap to the projector. (See page
13.)
■ Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight
or near heat sources. The 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 Remote Control
Inserting the Batteries
1Press the tab and lift open the battery
cover 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.
3Insert the tabs on the end of the
battery cover into their slots and
press the cover into position.
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please follow the precautions below.
 Caution
• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
• Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the 
 and  marks inside the battery compartment.
• 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 you wipe them first 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.
Be sure 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.
• Comply with the rules (ordinance) of each local government when disposing of worn-out batteries.
Usable Range
The remote control can be used to control the
projector within the ranges shown in the il-
lustration.
Note
•The signal from the remote control can be re-
flected off a screen for easy operation. How-
ev er, the effective distance of the signal may
differ depending on the screen material.
When using the remote control:
• Ensure that you do not drop it or expose it 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.

Using the Remote Control
Using the Remote Control with a Signal Cable
When the signals from the remote control cannot be reached due to the positioning of the projector, use a
ø3.5 mm minijack cable to connect the remote control to the projector. Now you can control the projector
with the remote control.
Note
•The wireless remote function is not possible when the ø3.5 mm minijack cable is connected to the projec-
tor. Should the wireless remote operation be required, the ø3.5 mm minijack cable should be discon-
nected from the projector.
Switching the Remote Control Mode
The remote control has two functions. One is projector control and the other is wireless computer mouse.
Slide the ADJ./MOUSE switch on the remote control to other side compatible to the desired usage.
Info
•When using the remote control as the wireless computer mouse, connect the supplied remote mouse
receiver to the computer. (See page  19.)
