Cautions:

• 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( (10 cm) of space between the cooling fan (exhaust vent) and the other 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 plug from the wall outlet and wait 10 minutes. Then turn on the power by plugging the cord back in. This will return the projector to its normal mode.

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.

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.

Our projector uses LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels. These very sophisticated panels contain 786,432 pixels (2 RGB) TFTs (Thin Film Transistors). As with any high technology electronic equipment such as large screen TVs, video systems and/or video cameras, there are certain acceptable tolerances that the equipment must conform to. This unit has some inactive TRTs within acceptable tolerances which may result in illuminated or inactive dots on the picture screen.

Specifications are subject to change without notice.
