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 Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center for a replacement.
See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 57.
Caution 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 a Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center.
■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.
Caution regarding transportation of the projec- tor
■When transporting the projector, be sure not to subject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in damage. Take extra care with the lens. Before moving the projector, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables con- nected to it.
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 be safely tilted to a maximum angle of 12 degrees.
■Placement should be within ±12 degrees of horizontal.
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.
■Continuously watching the screen for long hours will cause eye strain. Be sure to occasionally 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
Do not block the exhaust and intake vents.
■Allow at least 7 7/8 inches (20 cm) of space between the exhaust vent and the nearest wall or obstruction.
Other connected equipment
■When connecting a computer or other
■Please read the operation manuals of the projector 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 over- seas, be sure to use an appropriate power cord for the country you are in.

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 cause damage due to rise in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.
