This SHARP projector uses a DMD panel. This very sophisticated panel contains 786,432 (XR-
1X) / 480,000(XR-1S)pixels micromirrors. As with any high technology electronic equipment
such as large screen TVs, video systems and video cameras, there are certain acceptable
tolerances that the equipment must conform to.
This unit has some inactive pixels within acceptable tolerances which may result in inactive dots
on the picture screen. This will not affect the picture quality or the life expectancy of the unit.
WARNING:
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures. The enclosed computer cable must be used with the device. The cable is provided to
ensure that the device complies with FCC Class A verification.
U.S.A. ONLY
CAUTION ON LITHIUM BATTERY (for Remote Control unit)If a battery is reversed (positive end where the negative end belongs and vice versa), it can
overheat and rupture. This has happened when young children install batteries backwards.
Warn children 
not to take out batteries or install them. Parents should install the lithium
battery in the remote control.
