Ensure that you read the following safeguards whensetting up your projector.Caution concerning the lamp unit■ Potential hazard of glass par-

ticles if lamp ruptures. In caseof lamp rupture, contact yournearest Sharp Authorized Pro-jector Dealer or Service Cen-ter for replacement.See “Replacing the Lamp” onpage 60.

Caution concerning the setup of the pro-jector■ For minimal servicing and to maintain high

image quality, SHARP recommends that thisprojector be installed in an area free from hu-midity, dust and cigarette smoke. When theprojector is subjected to these environments,the vents and lens must be cleaned moreoften. As long as the projector is regularlycleaned, use in these environments will notreduce the overall operation life of the unit.Internal cleaning should only be performedby a Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer orService 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 onthe screen washes out the colors, makingviewing difficult. Close the curtains and dimthe lights when setting up the screen in asunny or bright room.

The projector may be safely tilted to amaximum angle of 9 degrees.■ Placement should be within ±9 degrees of

horizontal.

When using the projector in high-altitudeareas such as mountains (at altitudes ofapproximately 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 theoptical system.

Warning about placing the projector in ahigh position■ When placing the projector in a high posi-

tion, make certain it is carefully secured toavoid 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 regularbreaks to rest your eyes.

Avoid locations with extremes of tem-perature.■ 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 intake and exhaustvents.■ Allow at least 7 7/8 inches (20 cm) of space

between the exhaust vent and the nearestwall or obstruction.

■ Ensure that the intake vent and the exhaustvent are not obstructed.

■ If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a pro-tection circuit will automatically put the pro-jector into standby mode to prevent overheatdamage. This does not indicate a malfunc-tion (see pages 58 and 59). Remove the pro-jector power cord from the wall outlet and waitat least 10 minutes. Place the projector wherethe intake and exhaust vents are not blocked,plug the power cord back in and turn on theprojector. This will return the projector to thenormal 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 thiscan result in damage. Take extra care with thelens. If you are not to use the projector for along time, make certain you unplug the powercord from the wall outlet, and disconnect anyother cables connected to it.

■ Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.■ When storing the projector, ensure you attach

the lens cap to the projector. (See page 12.)■ Do not expose the storage case or projector

to direct sunlight or near heat sources. Thestorage case or projector may change coloror become deformed.

Other connected equipment■ When connecting a computer or other audio-

visual equipment to the projector, make theconnections AFTER unplugging the powercord of the projector from the AC outlet andturning off the equipment to be connected.

■ Please read the operation manuals of the pro-jector and the equipment to be connected forinstructions 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 regionor country you are using the projector in.When using the projector overseas, makesure you use an appropriate power cord forthe country you are in.

Temperature monitor function■ If the projector starts to over-

heat due to setup problemsor blockage of the air vents,“ ” and “ ” will illumi-nate in the lower left corner of the picture. If thetemperature continues to rise, the lamp will turnoff, the temperature warning indicator on theprojector will blink, and after a 90-second cool-ing-off period the projector will enter the standbymode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” onpage 58 for details.

Info

• The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-perature, and its performance is automati-cally controlled. The sound of the fan maychange during projector operation due tochanges in the fan speed. This does notindicate malfunction.

• Even if you unplug the power cord afterprojector operation, the cooling fan con-tinues to run for a while. When you placethe projector into the storage case, makesure that the cooling fan has stopped.
