SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 10A 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 10A 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
Be sure to 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 Authorized
SharpVision Service Center or Dealer
for replacement.
See “Replacing the Lamp” on pages 76-78.
Cautions concerning the setup of the projector

For minimal servicing and to maintain high image qual-
ity, 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 lens must be cleaned more often. As long as the
projector is regularly cleaned, use in these environ-
ments will not reduce the overall operation life of the
unit. Internal cleaning should only be performed by an
Authorized SharpVision Service Center or Dealer.
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 cur-
tains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a
sunny or bright room.
The projector may safely be tilted to a maximum
angle of 5 degrees.

Placement should be within ±5 degrees.
Do not subject the projector to hard impact and/
or vibration.

Take care with the lens so as not to hit or damage the
surface of the lens.
Rest your eyes occasionally.

Watching the screen for long hours continuously will
make your eyes tired. Be sure to occasionally rest your
eyes.
Avoid locations with high or low temperature.

The operating temperature for the projector is from 41°F
to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C).

The storage temperature for the projector is from
–4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).
Do not block the intake and exhaust vents.

Allow at least 11.8 (30 cm) of space between the ex-
haust vent and the nearest wall or obstruction.
Be sure that the intake vent and the exhaust vent are
not obstructed.

If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection cir-
cuit will automatically turn off the projector. This does
not indicate a malfunction. Remove the projector 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.
Cautions regarding the transportation of the pro-
jector

When transporting the projector, be sure not to subject
it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in
damage. Take extra caution with the lens. Before mov-
ing the projector, be sure to unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables con-
nected to it.
Other connected equipment

When connecting other audio-visual equipment or a
computer to the projector, make the connections AF-
TER turning off the projector and the equipment to be
connected.

Please read the operation manuals of the projector and
the equipment to be connected for instructions on how
to make the connections.
Temperature monitor function

If the projector starts to overheat
due to setup problems or blockage
of the air vents, “
” and
“” will blink 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 projector will blink,
and after a 90-second cooling-off period the power will
shut off. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on page 74
for details.
Info
•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. This does not indicate
malfunction.
•Do not unplug the power cord during projection or cool-
ing fan operation. This can create damage due to the
rise in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also
stops.
