    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  85.
    Cautions 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.
    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 safely be tilted to a maximum
    angle of 12 degrees.
    Placement should be within ±12 degrees.
    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
    make your eyes tired. Be sure to occasionally rest your
    eyes.
    Avoid locations with high or low temperature.
    The operating temperature for the projector is from 41 °F
    to 104 °F (+5 °C to +40 °C).
     The storage temperature for 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 7.9 inches (20 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 protection cir-
    cuit will automatically put the projector into the standby
    mode. 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 in-
    take 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.
    Cautions regarding the transportation of the pro-
    jector
    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 mov-
    ing the projector, be sure to unplug the power cord from
    the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables con-
    nected to it.
    Other connected equipment
    When connecting a computer or other audio-visual equip-
    ment to the projector, make the connections AFTER un-
    plugging 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 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 the appropriate power cord for
    the country you are in.
    Temperature monitor function
    If the projector starts to overheat
    due to setup problems or block-
    age 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 in-
    dicator on the projector will blink, and after a 90-sec-
    ond cooling-off period the projector will enter the
    standby mode. Refer to  “Maintenance Indicators ” on
    page  83 for details.
    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 create damage due to the
    rise in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.

    Using the Remote Control
     The remote control can be used to control the projector
    within the ranges shown in the illustration.
    Note
    •The signal from the remote control can be reflected off a screen
    for easy operation. However, the effective distance of the signal
    may differ due to the screen material.
    When using the remote control:
    •Be sure not to drop, expose to moisture or high temperature.
    • The remote control may malfunction under a fluorescent lamp.
    Under that circumstance, move the projector away from the fluo-
    rescent lamp.
    Inserting the Batteries
    The batteries (two R-6 batteries (“AA” size,
    UM/SUM-3, HP-7 or similar)) are included in
    the package.
    1Pull down the tab on the cover
    and remove the cover towards
    the direction of the arrow.
    2Insert the included batteries.
    • Insert the batteries making sure the
    polarities correctly match the 
     and
     marks inside the battery
    compartment.
    3Insert the lower tab of the
    cover into the opening, and
    lower the cover until it clicks
    in place.
    Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please\
     follow the precautions below.
     Caution
    • Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the  and  marks inside the battery compart-
    ment.
    • Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types.
    • Do not mix new and old batteries.
    This may shorten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to\
     leak.
    • Remove the batteries from the remote control once they have run out, as \
    leaving them can cause them to leak.
    Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to your skin, therefore b\
    e sure to first wipe them and then remove
    them using a cloth.
    • The batteries included with this projector may exhaust over a short peri\
    od, depending on how they are kept.
    Be sure to replace them as soon as possible with new batteries.
    • Remove the batteries from the remote control if you will not be using th\
    e remote control for a long time.
