SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used. Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted. In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.
DANGER:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur. To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug. Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:
If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.
The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (cont.)
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 71.
CAUTION
PRECAUCI
CAUTION
PR
BQC-PGM20X//1
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. 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 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 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.
Tilt the projector so that it does not go over an angle of 10 degrees when setting it.
The placement range (the horizontal angle) should be within ±10 degrees.
Be sure that the intake vent and the exhaust vent are not obstructed.
If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection cir­cuit will automatically turn off the projector. This does not indicate a malfunction. Remove the projector power cord from the wall outlet and wait more than 10 min-
N
utes. 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.
Cautions regarding the transportation of the pro­jector
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 mov­ing the projector, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables con­nected to it.
Other connected equipment
When connecting a computer or other audio-visual equipment to the projector, make the connections AF­TER turning off the projector and 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 the appropriate power cord for the country you are in.
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 95°F (+5°C to +35°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 11.8 inches (30 cm) of space between the exhaust vent and the nearest wall or obstruction.
-8
Temperature monitor function
If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or block­age 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 indicator on the projector will blink, and after a 90­second cooling-off period the power will shut off. Refer to Maintenance Indicators on page 70 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 create damage due to the rise in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.

Using the Remote Control

Available Range of the Remote Control

The remote control can be used to control the projector
within the ranges shown in the illustration.
Introduction
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 fluo­rescent lamp.

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 be sure to first wipe them and then remove them using a cloth.
The batteries included with this projector may be used up over 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.

Setup

Using the Adjustment Feet

The height of the projector can be adjusted using the adjustment feet when the surface of the projector is placed on is uneven or when the screen is slanted. The projection of the image can be made higher by adjusting the projector when it is in a location lower than the screen.
1 Press the foot releases.

2 Lift the projector to adjust its
height and remove your hands from the foot releases.
3 Rotate the adjustment feet to
make minor changes.
Note
When returning the projector to its origi­nal position, hold the projector firmly, press the foot releases and then lower it.
The projector is adjustable up to approxi­mately 5.5 degrees from the standard po­sition.
Info
Do not press the foot releases when the feet are extended without firmly holding the projector.
Do not hold the lens when lifting or lower­ing the projector. When lowering the projector, be careful not
to get your fingers caught in the area be­tween the adjustment feet and the projector.

Setting up the Screen

Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.
Note
The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
For optimal image, 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.
A polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen
according to the desired picture size. (See page 18.)
