Inserting the Batteries

Remove the battery cover as shown and insert four AA size batteries making sure their polarities match the (+) and (–) marks inside the battery compartment.

Notes:

Incorrect use of batteries may cause them to leak or burst.

∙Insert the batteries with the (+) and (–) polarities as indicated.

∙Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be operated for an extended period of time.

∙Maintain the batteries in a clean condition.

∙Do not mix different brands of batteries. The life expectancy of the new batteries will be shortened and the old batteries may leak.

∙When the batteries have been used up, remove them immediately to prevent leakage and damage. Leaked battery fluid may irritate the skin. Remove any battery fluid by wiping with a cloth.

∙Due to storage conditions and the shelf life of the supplied batteries, they may run out after a short time. If so, replace them with new batteries as soon as possible.

Remote control positioning

Use the remote control as shown in the figures on the left.

Note:

∙The signal from the remote control can be reflected off the screen for easy operation. However, the effective distance of the signal may differ due to the screen material.

How to set up the projector and screen

Cautions: When setting up 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.

∙Do not expose to extreme heat or cold.

Operating temperature: 41°F to 104°F (+5°C to +40°C) Storage temperature: 14°F to 140°F (120°C to +60°C)

∙Do not tilt the projector more than 5°.

■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 using the screen in a bright or sunny room.

■The best picture will be obtained when the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the screen. Position the projector and screen as shown.

Example of a standard setup

TOP VIEW

Lens center

SIDE VIEW

Lens center

The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen.

If the projector and screen are not centered properly, the picture will be distorted, making viewing difficult.

■Using the horizontal reverse function makes the following setups possible.

Example of a reversed image setup

∙By placing a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens and using the horizontal reverse function, the image reflected from the mirror can be projected onto the screen.

∙Rear projection with a rear projection screen is also possible when using the horizontal reverse function.
