SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 5A 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 5A socket outlet, as a serious
electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
WARNING:
THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.

This SHARP projector uses an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel. This very sophisticated panel contains 480,000
× RGB) TFTs (Thin Film Transistors). As with any high technology electronic equipment such as large
pixels (
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.
When Attaching the “QUICK GUIDE” Label
Attaching the “QUICK GUIDE” Label (supplied) on the
“QUICK GUIDE”
Label
projector will help you check the setup procedure. Be
sure to attach the “QUICK GUIDE” Label on the top
cabinet of the projector as shown in the drawing on the
right. Do not attach the “QUICK GUIDE” Label anywhere
else to avoid blocking an air intake or exhaust vent.

Be sure to read the following safeguards when setting up
your projector.
Introduction
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 65.
BQC-PGB10S//1
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 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.
The projector may be safely tilted to a maximum
angle of 12 degrees.
■ Placement should be within ±12 degrees of horizontal.
■ If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection cir-
cuit will automatically put the projector into the standby
mode. This does not indicate a malfunction. 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.
Caution regarding 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 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 transporting the projector, be sure to attach the
lens shipping block and the lens cap to the projector.
Other connected equipment
■ When connecting a computer or other audio-visual
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.
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
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 7 7/8 inches (20 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.
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 the standby mode. Refer to
“Maintenance Indicators” on page 63 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 cool-
ing fan operation. This can cause damage due to rise
in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.

Note
•The signal from the remote control can be re-
flected 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:
•Be sure not to 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.

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 in can cause them to leak.
Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore be sure to 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.
