PRÉCAUTION
■If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection device will automatically turn off the projector lamp. This does not indicate a malfunction. Remove the projector power cord from the wall outlet and wait at least 10 minutes. Then turn on the power by plugging the power cord back in.

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 and part of filter must be cleaned more often than usual. As long as the projector is properly main- tained in this manner, use in these environments will not reduce the overall operation life. Please note that all internal cleaning must be performed by a Sharp Authorized 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.
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.
Do not expose the projector to extreme heat or cold.

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.
Notes on Operation
■The exhaust ventilative holes, the lamp unit cover and adja- cent areas may get extremely
hot during projector operation. To prevent injury, do not touch these areas until they have sufficiently cooled down.
■Allow at least 1 foot (30 cm) of space between the ex- haust ventilative hole and the nearest wall or obstruc- tion.
