Caution Concerning Lamp Replacement

This projector utilizes a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp

■

failure can be attributed to numerous sources such as: excessive shock, improper cooling, sur face scratches or deterioration of the lamp due to a lapse of usage time. The period of time up to failure largely varies depending on the individual lamp and/or the condition and the frequency of use. It is important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking. When the lamp replacement indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated, it is recommended

■

that the lamp be replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating normally. Should the lamp break, there is also a possibilit y that glass particles may spread inside of the

■

projector. In such a case, it is recommended you contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center to assure safe operation. Should the lamp break, the glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage or gas contained in the

■

lamp may be vented into the room from the exhaust vent. Because the gas in this lamp includes mercury, ventilate the room well if the lamp breaks and avoid all exposure to the released gas. In case of exposure to the gas, consult a doctor as soon as possible.

Caution

Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may

• cause burns or injury. Wait at least one hour after the power cord is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to

• fully cool before removing the lamp unit. Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp unit or the inside of the projector.

• Do not loosen other screws except for the lamp unit cover and lamp unit.

• Make sure to reset the lamp timer only when replacing the lamp. If you reset the lamp timer and

• continue to use the same lamp, this may cause the lamp to become damaged or explode.

Carefully change the lamp by following the instructions described on pages

■

* If you wish, you may have the lamp replaced at your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector

Dealer or Service Center.

* If the new lamp does not light af ter replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized

Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair.

Observe the following safeguards when setting up your projector.

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 replacement. See “Regarding the Lamp” on page

56.

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 vents and 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 per formed by a Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center.

Rest your eyes occasionally.

Continuously watching the screen for long

■

hours will cause eye strain. Take regular breaks to rest your eyes.

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 difﬁ cult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.

Caution regarding placing of the projector

■

Place the projector on a level site within the adjustment range (9 degrees) of the adjustment foot.

After the projector is purchased, a faint

■

smell from the vent may appear when the power is ﬁ rst turned on. This is normal and is not a malfunction. It will disappear after the projector is used for a while.

When using the projector in highaltitude areas such as mountains (at altitudes of approximately 1,500 meters (4,900 feet) or more)

■

When you use the projector in high-altitude areas with thin air, set “Fan Mode” to “High”. Neglecting this can affect the longevity of the optical system.

■

Use the projector at altitudes of 2,300 meters (7,500 feet) or less.

Warning about placing the projector in a high position

■

When placing the projector in a high position, make cer tain it is carefully secure to avoid personal injury caused by the projector falling down.

Do not subject the projector to hard impact and/or vibration.

■

Protect the lens so as not to hit or damage the surface of the lens.

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 11 13/16 inches (30 cm) of space between the exhaust vent and the nearest wall or obstruction.

■

Ensure that the intake vent and the exhaust vent are not obstructed.

■

If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection circuit will automatically put the projector into Standby mode to prevent overheat damage. This does not indicate a malfunction. (See pages 54 and 55.) 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 usage of the projector

■

If you are not to use the projector for a long time or before moving the projector, make certain you 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.

■

Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight or place next to heat sources. Doing so may affect the cabinet color or cause deformation of the plastic cover.

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, make sure you use an appropriate power cord for the country you are in.

Temperature monitor function

If the temperature inside the projector

■

increases, due to blockage of the air vents, or the setting location, the temperature warning indicator will blink. And if the temperature keeps on rising, “ ” will illuminate in the lower left corner of the picture with the temperature warning indicator blinking. If this state continues, the lamp will turn off, the cooling fan will run and then the projector will enter Standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on pages 54 and 55 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.
