Laser pointer window

Cautions Concerning the Laser Pointer

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 three 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 41°F and 104°F (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 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.

Notes on 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.” and “ temperature continues to rise, the lamp will turn off, the TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator on the projector will flash, and after a 90-second coolingoff period the power will shut off. Refer to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators” on page 47, 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.

Setting up the Screen

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 centered in the middle of the screen. If the lens center 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 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 the table below).

Setting up the Screen

Operation

Using the Adjustment Foot

You can adjust the height of the image by raising the projector with the foot release.

1 Press the foot release and lift the projector to the

desired angle. (Adjustable up to approximately 5° from the standard position.)

2 Remove your hand from the foot release. Once

Foot release

the adjustment foot has locked in position, release the projector.

3 If the screen is at an angle, the adjuster can be

used to adjust the angle of the image. (Adjustable up to approximately 1° from the original position.)

Returning the projector to its original position

While holding the projector, press the foot release and slowly lower the projector to its original position.

• When an adjustment is made, the image may become distorted (keystoned), depending on the relative positions of the projector and the screen.

CAUTION

• Do not press the foot release when the adjustment foot is 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 foot and the

projector.

Reversed Image Setup

Rear projection

• Place a translucent screen between the projector and the audience.

• Use the projector’s menu system to reverse the projected image. (See page 42 for use of this function.)

Projection using a mirror

• When the distance between the projector and screen is not sufficient for normal rear projection, you can use a mirror to reflect the image onto the screen.

• Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.

• Project the normal image onto the mirror.

• The image reflected from the mirror is projected onto

the translucent screen.

• Optimal image quality can be achieved when the projector is positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level.

CAUTION

• When using a mirror, be sure to carefully position both the projector and the mirror so the light does not shine into the eyes of the audience.

Ceiling-mount Setup

• It is recommended that you use the optional Sharp ceilingmount bracket for this installation.

• Before mounting the projector, contact your nearest Authorized Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Center to obtain the recommended ceiling-mount bracket (sold separately). (AN-XGCM53 ceiling-mount bracket, ANEP101AP extension tube for AN-XGCM53.)

• When the projector is in the inverted position, use the upper edge of the screen as the base line.

• Use the projector’s menu system to select the appropriate projection mode. (See page 42 for use of this function.)
