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

or and of the same rating as
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

Information

Usage Guidelines

The laser pointer on the remote control emits a laser beam from the laser
pointer window. This is a Class II laser which may impair your sight if directed
into the eyes. The two marks shown on the left are caution labels for the laser
beam.

• Do not look into the laser pointer window or shine the laser beam on yourself
or others. (The laser beam used in this product is harmless when directed
onto the skin. However, be careful not to project the beam directly into the
eyes.)

• Always use the laser pointer at temperatures between 5°C and 40°C.

• Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than

those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Cautions Concerning the Laser Pointer

Laser pointer
window

Caution Concerning the Lamp Unit

Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp ruptures. Please have Sharp
Authorised LCD Projector Dealer or Service Centre replace lamp if rupture
occurs.

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 and filter will
need to be cleaned (or the filter replaced) 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 Authorised LCD Projector
Dealer or Service Centre.

• The 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 of space between the cooling fan (exhaust vent) 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 at least 10 minutes.
Then turn on the power by plugging the power cord back in. This will return
the projector to the normal operating condition.

Operation

Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.
Move the projector forward or backward if the edges of the image are distorted.

• The projector lens should be centred in the middle of the screen. If the lens centre is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be
distorted, making viewing difficult.

• Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly onto the screen washes out colours, 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.

Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according
to the desired picture size (see the table below).

• Optional wide and telephoto lenses from Sharp are available for
specialised application. Please see your local Sharp Authorised LCD
Projector Dealer for details on the AN-W6EZ and AN-T6EZ lenses.
