Caution Concerning the Lamp Unit
Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp has ruptured. Please have
Sharp Authorized LCD Projector Dealer or Service Center replace
lamp if rupture occurs.
See “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on page 37.
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. If the projector is used in these
environments, the lens will need to be cleaned more often, and
internal cleaning may become necessary. 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 LCD Projector Dealer or Service
Center.
Notes on Operation
• The three marks shown on the left are caution labels for parts of
the projector that emit intense heat during operation.
• The cooling fan (exhaust vent), the lamp cage cover and adjacent
areas may be extremely hot during projector operation. To prevent
injury, do not touch these areas until they have sufficiently cooled.
• Allow at least 10 cm (3
15
/
16
inches) of space between the cooling
fan (exhaust vents) and the nearest wall or obstruction.
• If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection device will
automatically turn off the projector lamp. This does not indicate a
malfunction. Remove the projector power cord from the wall outlet
and wait until the projector has sufficiently cooled. Then turn on the
power by plugging the power cord back in. This will return the
projector to the normal operating condition.
