Observe 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 Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center for replacement.

See “Regarding the Lamp” on page 50.

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 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.

Warning about placing the projector in a high position

■When placing the projector in a high position, make cer- tain it is carefully secure to avoid personal injury caused by the projector falling 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 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 adjustment foot.

Do not block the exhaust and intake vents.

■Allow at least 1113/16 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 protection circuit will automatically put the projector into standby mode to prevent overheat damage. This does not indi- cate a malfunction. (See page 48.) Remove the projector power cord from the wall outlet and wait at least 10 min- utes. 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 projector is used for a while.

When using the projector in high-altitude areas such as mountains (at altitudes of approximate- ly 4,900 feet (1,500 meters) 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.

Caution 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.

■Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.

■When storing the projector, ensure that you close the lens shutter.

■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.
