Cautions 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 lens must be cleaned more often. Periodically the projector should be cleaned internally. As long as the projector is properly maintained 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 Projector Dealer or Service Center.

•Do not expose the projector to extreme heat or cold. Operating temperature: 41°F to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C) Storage temperature: 14°F to 140°F (−10°C to +60°C)

Notes on Operation

•The mark shown on the left calls the user’s attention to locations on the projector that emit intense heat during operation.

•The exhaust vent, the lamp cage cover and adjacent areas may be extremely hot during projector operation. To prevent injury, do not touch these areas until they have sufficiently cooled.

•Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between the cooling fan (exhaust vent) and the nearest wall or obstruction.

•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 reconnect the power cord and restart the projector. This will return the projector to normal operating condition.

Temperature Monitor Function

If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems, “TEMP.” will appear in the lower-left corner of the picture. If the temperature continues to rise, the lamp will turn off, the TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator on the projector will flash, and after a 90-second cooling-off period the power will shut off. Refer to “Lamp/ Maintenance Indicators” on page 46, for details.

•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.

Lamp Monitor Function

When the projector is turned on after the lamp has been used for 1,400 hours, “LAMP” will appear in the lower-left corner of the picture to advise you to replace the lamp. See pages 47 and 48 for lamp replacement. If the lamp has been used for 1,500 hours, the projector power will automatically turn off and the projector will enter standby mode. Refer to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators” on page 46, for details.
