■ Potential hazard of glass

particles if lamp ruptures. In
case of lamp rupture, contact
your nearest Sharp Autho-
rized Projector Dealer or Ser-
vice Center for a replace-
ment.
See “Replacing the Lamp” on

■ 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. 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 Autho-
rized Projector Dealer or Service Center.

■ 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.

■ Placement should be

within ±10 degrees.

■ Take care with the lens so as not to hit or

damage the surface of the lens.

■ Continuously watching the screen for long

hours will make your eyes tired. Be sure to
rest your eyes sometimes.

■ The operating temperature for the projector

is from 41°F to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C)

■ The storage temperature for the projector is

from –4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C)

■ Allow at least 11.8 inches (30 cm) of space

between the exhaust vent and the nearest
wall or obstruction.

■ Be sure that the intake vent and the exhaust

vent are not obstructed.

■ If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a pro-

tection circuit will automatically turn off the
projector. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion. 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 oper-
ating condition.

■ When transporting the projector, be sure not

to subject it to hard impact and/or vibration,
as this can result in damage. Take extra
caution with the lens. Before moving the
projector, be sure to retract the antenna and
the eject button. Also, be sure to unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet, disconnect
any other cables connected to it.

■ When connecting a computer or other audio-

visual equipment to the projector, make the
connections AFTER turning off the projector
and the equipment to be connected.

■ Please read the operation manuals of the pro-

jector and the equipment to be connected for
instructions on how to make the connections.

■ 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 overseas, be sure
to use the appropriate power cord for the
country you are in.

■ If the projector starts to

overheat due to setup prob-
lems or blockage of the air
vents, “

” and “

” will

blink 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 blink, and after
a 90-second cooling-off period the power will
shut off. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators”
on 

 for details.

• The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-

perature, 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 mal-
function.

• Do not unplug the power cord during

projection or cooling fan operation. This can
create damage due to the rise in internal
temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.
