							8Observe the following safeguards when setting up your
projector.
Caution concerning the lamp unit
■Potential hazard of glass par-
ticles if lamp ruptures. In case
of lamp rupture, contact your
nearest Sharp Authorized
Projector Dealer or Service
Center for replacement.
See “Replacing the Lamp” on
page 52.
Caution 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 vents and lens must be cleaned more of-
ten. 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
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.
Caution regarding placing of the projector
■Place the projector on a level site within the
adjustment range (9 degrees) of the adjust-
ment foot.
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 position,
make certain it is carefully secure to avoid
personal injury caused by the projector fall-
ing down.
Do not subject the projector to hard
impact and/or vibration.
■Protect 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.
Avoid locations with extremes of
temperature.
■The operating temperature of the projector is
from 41°F to 95°F (+5°C to +35°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 11 13/16 inches (30 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 50 and 51.) 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.
■After the projector is purchased, a faint smell
from the vent may appear when the power is
first turned on. This is normal and is not a
malfunction. It will disappear after the projec-
tor is used for a while.

IntroductionCaution regarding usage of the projector
■If you are not to use the projector for a long
time or before moving the projector, make
certain you unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables
connected to it.
■If the power cord is unplugged while the cool-
ing fan is running, some parts of the projec-
tor may still be hot. Use caution when han-
dling the projector.
■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
11.)
■Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight
or place next to heat sources. Doing so may
affect the cabinet color or cause deformation
of the plastic cover.
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, make
sure you use an appropriate power cord for
the country you are in.
Temperature monitor function
■If the projector star ts to overheat due to setup
problems or blockage of the air vents, “
” and
“” will illuminate in the lower left corner
of the picture. If the temperature continues to
rise, the lamp will turn off, the temperature warn-
ing indicator on the projector will blink, and after
a 60-second cooling-off period the projector will
enter standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance In-
dicators” on page 50 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 malfunc-
tion.

•Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with alkaline or manganese batteries.
•Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the m and n 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.
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please
follow the precautions below.
