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 turn the projector upside down
immediately after putting into standby
mode.
This may cause burns due to rise in tempera-
ture of the lamp unit cover.
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 standby mode to prevent overheat
damage. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion. (See pages 53 and 54.) 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.
When turning off the projector, the cooling fan
runs to decrease the internal temperature for
a while. Unplug the power cord after the cool-
ing fan stops. The period the cooling fan runs
will vary, depending on the circumstances and
the internal temperature.
