    This SHARP projector uses a DMD panel. This very sophisticated panel contains 921,600 pixels micromirrors. As
    with any high technology electronic equipment such as large screen TVs, video systems and video cameras, there
    are certain acceptable tolerances that the equipment must conform to.
    This unit has some inactive pixels within acceptable tolerances which may result in inactive dots on the picture
    screen. This will not affect the picture quality or the life expectancy of the unit.

    IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
    13. Power-Cord ProtectionPower-supply cords should be routed so that they are not

    14. LightningFor added protection for this product during a lightning storm,
    or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
    time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable
    system. This will prevent damage to the product due to
    lightning and power-line surges.
    15. OverloadingDo not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
    convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
    electric shock.
    16. Object and Liquid EntryNever push objects of any kind into this product through
    openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
    short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
    Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
    17. ServicingDo not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or
    removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
    other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
    personnel.
    18. Damage Requiring ServiceUnplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing
    to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
    a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
    b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into
    the product.
    c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
    d. If the product does not operate normally by following
    the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
    that are covered by the operating instructions, as an
    improper adjustment of other controls may result in
    damage and will often require extensive work by a
    qualified technician to restore the product to normal
    operation.
    e. If the product has been dropped or damaged in any
    way.
    f.When the product exhibits a distinct change in
    performance, this indicates a need for service.
    19. Replacement PartsWhen replacement parts are required, ensure the service
    technician has used replacement parts specified by the
    manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original
    part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
    shock, or other hazards.
    20. Safety CheckUpon completion of any service or repairs to this product,
    ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
    determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
    21.Wall or Ceiling MountingThis product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as
    recommended by the manufacturer.

    Introduction
    Ensure that you 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 Ser-
    vice Center or Dealer for
    a replacement.
    See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 56.
    Caution concerning the setup of the pro-
    jector
    ■For minimal servicing and to maintain high
    image quality, SHARP recommends that this
    projector be installed in an area free from hu-
    midity, dust and cigarette smoke. When the
    projector is subjected to these environments,
    the vents and lens must be cleaned more of-
    ten. 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 Authorized Service Center or
    Dealer.
    Do not set up the projector in places ex-
    posed 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 curtains 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.
    Warning about placing the projector in
    a high position
    ■When placing the projector in a high posi-
    tion, ensure to secure it carefully to avoid
    personal injury caused by the projector fall-
    ing down.
    Do not subject the projector to hard im-
    pact 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. Ensure to occa-
    sionally rest your eyes.
    Avoid locations with extremes of tem-
    perature.
    ■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 –4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).
    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.
    ■Ensure that the intake vent and the exhaust
    vent are not obstructed.
    ■If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a pro-
    tection circuit will automatically put the pro-
    jector into standby mode to prevent overheat
    damage. This does not indicate a malfunc-
    tion (See pages 54 and 55.). Remove the pro-
    jector 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.

    							-8
    Caution regarding usage of the projector
    ■When using the projector, ensure not to sub-
    ject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this
    can result in damage. Take extra care with the
    lens. If you are not to use the projector for a
    long time, ensure to unplug the power cord
    from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other
    cables connected to it.
    ■Do not use the projector by holding the lens.
    ■
    When you are not to use the projector for a long
    time, or storing the projector, ensure to attach
    the lens cap to the projector (See page 9.).
    ■Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight
    or near heat sources. The projector may
    change color or become deformed.
    Other connected equipment
    ■When connecting a computer or other audio-
    visual equipment to the projector, make the
    connections AFTER unplugging the power
    cord of the projector from the AC outlet and
    turning off 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.
    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 overseas, ensure
    to use an appropriate power cord for the coun-
    try you are in.
    Temperature monitor function
    ■If the projector starts to overheat due to setup
    problems or blockage of the
    air vents, “
    ” and “”
    will illuminate 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 pro-
    jector will blink, and after a 90-second cooling-
    off period the projector will enter the standby
    mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on
    page 54 for details.
    Info
    •The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-
    perature, and its performance is automati-
    cally 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 pro-
    jection or cooling fan operation. This can
    cause damage due to rise in internal tem-
    perature, as the cooling fan also stops.
