SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or and of the same rating as 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 3A socket outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur. To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red. Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug. Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:
• If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.
• The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Before using the projector, please read this operation manual carefully.

Caution Concerning the Lamp Unit
Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp ruptures. Please have Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center replace lamp if rupture occurs. See Replacing the Projection Lamp on pages 47 and 48.
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 must be cleaned more often. Periodically 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 a Sharp Authorized Projector 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: 14°F to 140°F (ⳮ10°C to Ⳮ60°C)
Information
Important
Notes on Operation
The mark shown on the left calls the users attention to locations on the projector
that emit 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 reconnect the power cord and restart the projector. This will return the projector to normal operating condition.
Temperature Monitor Function
If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems, “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 46, 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 47 and 48 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 46, for details.
