Important
Information
For your own protection and prolonged operation of your LCD Projector, be sure to read the following “Important
Safeguards” carefully, before use.
This projector has been engineered and manufactured to ensure your personal safety. But IMPROPER USE CAN
RESULT IN POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARDS. In order not to defeat the safeguards
incorporated into this LCD Projector, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.
1. Unplug the LCD Projector from the wall outlet before
cleaning.
2. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning.
3. Do not use attachments not recommended by the LCD
Projector manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
4. Do not use the LCD Projector near water; for example,
near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a
wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc. Never spill
liquid into the projector.
5. Do not place the LCD Projector on an unstable cart, stand,
or table. The LCD Projector may fall, which may cause
serious injury to a child or an adult, and/or serious damage
to the unit.
6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting—The product should be
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by
the manufacturer.
7. LCD Projector equipment and cart
combinations should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the equipment and cart
combination to overturn.
8. Slots and openings in the cabinet back and bottom are
provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of
the LCD Projector and to protect it from overheating, these
openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings
should never be covered with cloth or other material.
9. This LCD Projector should never be placed near or over
a radiator or heating vent. The LCD Projector should not
be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase
unless proper ventilation is provided.
10. The LCD Projector should be operated only from the type
of power source indicated on the back of the projector or
in the specifications. If you are not sure of the type of
power supplied to your home, consult your LCD Projector
dealer or local power company.
11. Do not place the LCD Projector where the cord will be
abused by persons walking on it.
12. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD
Projector.
13. To prevent damage to the projector due to lightning and
power-line surges, unplug the projector from the power
outlet, when not in use.
14. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords with too
many products, because this can result in fire or electric
shock.
15. Never push objects of any kind into the LCD Projector
through the cabinet slots as they may touch high-voltage
points or cause a short circuit. This could result in a fire
or electric shock.
16. Do not attempt to service the LCD Projector yourself.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
17. Unplug the LCD Projector equipment from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the LCD Projector.
c. If the LCD Projector has been exposed to rain or
water.
d. If the LCD Projector does not operate normally
when you follow the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as improper adjustment of other
controls may cause damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the LCD Projector to normal operation.
e. If the LCD Projector has been dropped or the
cabinet has been damaged.
f.When the LCD Projector exhibits a distinct change
in performance—this indicates a need for service.
18. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as
the original parts. Unauthorised substitutions may result
in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
19. This LCD Projector is provided with one of the following
types of plugs. If the plug should fail to fit into the power
outlet, please contact your electrician.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug.

Caution Concerning the Lamp Unit
Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp ruptures. Please have an Authorised
Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Centre replace lamp if rupture
occurs.
See “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on pages 40 and 41.
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 an Authorised Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer
or Service Centre.
• Do not expose the projector to extreme heat or cold.
Operating temperature: Ⳮ5°C to Ⳮ35°C
Storage temperature: ⳮ20°C to Ⳮ60°C
Information
Important
Notes on Operation
• The mark shown on the left calls the user’s attention to a part of the projector
that emits intense heat during operation.
• 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.
Temperature Monitor Function
If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or a dirty air filter, “TEMP.”
will appear 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 flash, and after a 90-second cooling-off period the power will shut off. Refer
to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators” on page 39, for details.
• 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.
Lamp Monitor Function
When the projector is turned on after the lamp has been used for 1,400 hours,
“LAMP” will appear in the lower-left corner of the picture to advise you to replace
the lamp. See pages 40 and 41 for lamp replacement. If the lamp has been used
for 1,500 hours, the projector power will automatically turn off and the projector
will enter standby mode. Refer to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators” on page 39,
for details.
