Be sure to read the following safeguards when setting
up your projector.
Caution concerning the lamp unit
■ Potential hazard of glass par-
ticles 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
55.
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
humidity, 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 Projector Dealer or
Service Center.
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.
Caution regarding placing of the projec-
tor.
■ Place the projector on a level site within the
adjustment range of the adjustment foot.
Do not use the projector upside down.
■ This can cause personal injury due to rise in
internal temperature.
Warning about placing the projector in
a high position
■ When placing the projector in a high position,
be sure to secure it carefully to avoid per-
sonal injury caused by the projector falling
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. Be sure 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 11
13
/16 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 put the pro-
jector into the standby mode to prevent over-
heat damage. This does not indicate a mal-
function. (See pages
53 and 54.) 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 operating condition.
