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 (Ⳮ5°C and Ⳮ40°C).

• Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

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 50 and 51.

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.
