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 “Replacing the Lamp” on page 50.
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.
Caution regarding placing of the projector
Place the projector on a level site within the adjustment range (approx. 9 degrees) of the adjustment foot.
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.
Warning about placing the projector in a high position
When placing the projector in a high position, make certain 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.
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 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 48 and 49.) 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.
After the projector is purchased, a faint smell from the vent may appear when the power is first turned on. This is normal and is not a malfunction. It will disappear after the projec­tor is used for a while.

Introduction
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.
If the power cord is unplugged while the cooling fan is running, some parts of the projector may still be hot. Use caution when handling the projector.
Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.
When storing the projector, ensure you at-
tach the lens cap to the projector. (See page
11.)
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 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.
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 60-second cooling-off period the projector will enter standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance In­dicators” on page 48 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.

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with alkaline or manganese batteries.
Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the m and n marks inside the battery compartment.
Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types.

The batteries included with this projector may run down in a short period, depending on how they are kept. Be sure to replace them as soon as possible with new batteries.
Remove the batteries from the remote control if you will not be using the remote control for a long time.
