PRODUCT DISPOSAL

This projector utilizes tin-lead solder, and a pressurized lamp containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or, if you are located in the United States of America, the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org .

Caution Concerning Lamp Replacement

See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 50.

This SHARP projector uses a DMD panel. This very sophisticated panel contains 409,920 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.

Observe 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 Service Center or

Dealer for replacement. See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 50.

Caution 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. When the projector is subjected to these environments, the vents and lens must be cleaned more often. 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 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 curtains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.

Caution regarding placing of the projector

■Place the projector on a level site within the adjustment range (8 degrees) of the adjustment foot.

When using the projector in high-altitude areas such as mountains (at altitudes of approximately 4,900 feet (1,500 meters) or more)

■When you use the projector in high-altitude areas with thin air, set “Fan Mode” to “High”.

Neglecting this can affect the longevity of the optical system.

Warning about placing the projector in a high position

■When placing the projector in a high position, ensure that it is secured carefully to avoid personal injury caused by the projector falling down.

Do not subject the projector to hard impact and/or vibration.

■Protect 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 occasionally rest your eyes.

Avoid locations with extremes of temperature.

■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 protection circuit will automatically put the projector into standby mode to prevent overheat damage. This does not indicate a malfunction. (See pages 48 and 49.) 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.

8

■When turning off the projector, the cooling fan runs to decrease the internal temperature for a while. Unplug the power cord after the cooling fan stops. The period the cooling fan runs will vary, depending on the circumstances and the internal temperature.

Caution regarding usage of the projector

■When using the projector, be sure not to subject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in damage. Take extra care with the lens. Before moving the projector, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables connected to it.

■Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.

■When storing the projector, re-attach the lens cap. (See page 11).

■Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight or place next to heat sources. Doing so may affect the cabinet color or cause deformation of the plastic cover.

Other connected equipment

■When connecting a computer or other audiovisual 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 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 overseas, be sure to use an appropriate power cord for the country 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 projector will blink, and after a 90-second cooling-off period the projector will enter standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on page 48 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 cooling fan operation. This can cause damage due to rise in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.

Inserting the Batteries

1 Press the P mark on the cover and slide it in the direction of the arrow.

2 Insert the batteries.

• Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the m and n marks inside the battery compartment.

3 Attach the cover and slide it until it clicks into place.

Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please follow the precautions below.

Caution

•Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

•Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the m and n marks inside the battery compartment.

•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 in can cause them to leak.

Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore ensure that you first wipe them and then remove them using a cloth.

•The batteries included with this projector may run down in a short period, 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 the remote control for a long time.

•Comply with the rules (ordinance) of each local government when disposing of worn-out batteries.

14

Usable Range

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 depending on the screen material.

When using the remote control

•Ensure that you do not drop, expose to moisture or high temperature.

•The remote control may malfunction under a fluorescent lamp. In this case, move the projector away from the fluorescent lamp.

Setting up the Projector

Setting up the Projector

For optimal image quality, position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projector’s feet flat and level. Doing so will eliminate the need for Keystone correction and provide the best image quality. (See page 33.)

Standard Setup (Front Projection)
