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.
