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.

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

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.
