IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Ensure that you read 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 “Replacing the Lamp” on page 60.
CAUTION PRECAUCIÓN PRÉCAUTION
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 performed by a Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center.
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 difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.
The projector may be safely tilted to a maximum angle of 9 degrees.
Placement should be within ±9 degrees of horizontal.
When using the projector in high-altitude 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.
-8
Warning about placing the projector in a high position
When placing the projector in a high posi­tion, make certain it is carefully secured to avoid personal injury caused by the projec­tor falling down.
Do not subject the projector to hard im­pact and/or vibration.
Ta ke care with the lens so as not to hit or damage the surface of the lens.
Rest your eyes occasionally.
Continuously watching the screen for long hours will cause eye strain. Take regular breaks to rest your eyes.
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 intake and exhaust vents.
Allow at least 7 7/8 inches (20 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 58 and 59). Remove the pro- jector 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
When using the projector, take care not to sub­ject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in damage. Take extra care with the lens. If you are not to use the projector for a long time, 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.
When storing the projector, ensure you attach the lens cap to the projector. (See page 12.)
Do not expose the storage case or projector to direct sunlight or near heat sources. The storage case or projector may change color or become deformed.
Other connected equipment
When connecting a computer or other audio­visual 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.
Introduction
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.
Even if you unplug the power cord after projector operation, the cooling fan con­tinues to run for a while. When you place the projector into the storage case, make sure that the cooling fan has stopped.
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 projector starts to over­heat due to setup problems or blockage of the air vents, “ ” and “ ” will illumi­nate 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 blink, and after a 90-second cool­ing-off period the projector will enter the standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on page 58 for details.

when the covers are securely installed, or if the cooling fan does not run normally, then contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center (see page 66) for advice.
Info
If the temperature warning indicator illuminates and the projector enters the standby mode, check whether any of the ventilation holes are blocked (see page 8) and then try turning the power back on. Wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plugging in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 10 minutes.)
If the power is turned off for a brief moment due to power outage or some other cause while using the projector, and the power supply recovers immediately after that, the lamp indicator will illuminate in red and the lamp may not be lit. In this case, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, replace the power cord in the AC outlet and then turn the power on again.
The cooling fan keeps the internal temperature of the projector constant and this function is controlled automatically. The sound of the cooling fan may change during operation because the fan speed may change and this is not a malfunction.

Regarding the Lamp

Lamp

It is recommended that the lamp unit (optional: AN-C430LP) be replaced when the remaining lamp life becomes 5% or less, or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and color quality. The lamp life (percentage) can be checked with the on-screen display. See page 47.
Purchase a replacement lamp unit of type AN-C430LP from your place of purchase, nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO U.S. CUSTOMERS:
The lamp included with this projector is backed by a 90-day parts and labor limited warranty. All service of this projector under warranty, including lamp replacement, must be obtained through a Sharp Autho­rized Projector Dealer or Service Center.

Hg LAMP CONTAINS MERCURY For State Lamp Disposal Information www.lamprecycle.org or 1-800-BE-SHARP

Caution Concerning the Lamp

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, surface 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, 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.
Should the lamp break, there is also a possibility 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.
U.S.A. ONLY

Should this occur, turn off the LCD display on the notebook computer and output the display data in “CRT only” mode. Details on how to change display modes can be found in your notebook computer’s operation manual.
When this projector receives 640 × 350 VESA format VGA signals, “640 × 400” appears on the screen.
When projecting the RGB interlace signal using COMPUTER/COMPONENT 1, 2 or DVI-D with “Signal Type”
set to “Auto” or “RGB”, the image may not be projected as desired. In this case, use either Video or S-Video.
