Caution Concerning the Lamp Unit

Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp ruptures. Please have Authorized Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Center 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. When the projector is subjected to these environments, the lens and filter must be cleaned more often. Periodically the filter should be replaced and the projector should be cleaned internally. As long as the projector is properly maintained in this manner, use in these environments will not reduce the overall operation life. Please note that all internal cleaning must be performed by an Authorized Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Center.

• Do not expose the projector to extreme heat or cold. Operating temperature: 41°F to 95°F (Ⳮ5°C to Ⳮ35°C) Storage temperature: ⳮ4°F to 140°F (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 4 inches (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 900 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 1,000 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.
