SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used. Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted. In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.

DANGER:

The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur. To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

IMPORTANT:

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.

• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red. Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug. Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:

• If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.

• The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Information

For your own protection and prolonged operation of your LCD Projector, be sure to read the following “Important Safeguards” carefully, before use. This projector has been engineered and manufactured to ensure your personal safety. But IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARDS. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated into this LCD Projector, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.

1. Unplug the LCD Projector from the wall outlet before cleaning.

2. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

3. Do not use attachments not recommended by the LCD Projector manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

4. Do not use the LCD Projector near water; for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc. Never spill liquid into the projector.

5. Do not place the LCD Projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The LCD Projector may fall, which may cause serious injury to a child or an adult, and/or serious damage to the unit.

6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting—The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

7. LCD Projector equipment and cart combinations should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the equipment and cart combination to overturn.

8. Slots and openings in the cabinet back and bottom are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the LCD Projector and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be covered with cloth or other material.

9. This LCD Projector should never be placed near or over a radiator or heating vent. The LCD Projector should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

10. The LCD Projector should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the back of the projector or in the specifications. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your LCD Projector dealer or local power company.

11. Do not place the LCD Projector where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.

12. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD Projector.

13. To prevent damage to the projector due to lightning and power-line surges, unplug the projector from the power outlet, when not in use.

14. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords with too many products, because this can result in fire or electric shock.

15. Never push objects of any kind into the LCD Projector through the cabinet slots as they may touch high-voltage points or cause a short circuit. This could result in a fire or electric shock.

16. Do not attempt to service the LCD Projector yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

e. If the LCD Projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

f. When the LCD Projector exhibits a distinct change in performance—this indicates a need for service.

18. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorised substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

19. This LCD Projector is provided with one of the following types of plugs. If the plug should fail to fit into the power outlet, please contact your electrician. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug.

Cautions Concerning the Laser Pointer

The laser pointer on the “Power” 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 two 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 5°C and 40°C.

• Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those

specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

CAUTION

• This product contains a low power laser device. To ensure continued safety, do not remove any cover or attempt to gain access to the inside of the product. Refer all serving to qualified personnel.

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. If the projector is used in these environments, the lens and filter will need to be cleaned (or the filter replaced) more often, and internal cleaning may become necessary. 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 Authorised LCD Projector Dealer or Service Centre.

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 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.

Setting Up the Projector and Screen

90˚

Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve optimal image. Move the projector forward or backward if the edges of the image are distorted.

• The projector lens should be centred in the middle of the screen. If the lens centre is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.

• Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly onto the screen washes out colours, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.

• A polarising screen cannot be used with this projector.

Standard Setup (Front Projection)

Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size (see the table below).

Guide to Effective Presentations

Electronic presentations are one of the most effective tools presenters can use to persuade an audience. There are several ways to enhance your presentation and maximise your effectiveness. The following are guidelines to help you create and deliver a dynamic presentation.

a. Types of Presentations

Computer Presentations

• To present basic information such as graphs, spreadsheets, documents and images, use word processing and spreadsheet applications.

• To convey more complex information and create more dynamic presentations which allow you to control the pace of your delivery, utilise software such as Astound PowerPoint®.

• For high-end multimedia and interactive presentations, use software such as Macromedia Director®.

, Freelance®, Persuasion® or

Yellow

• Astound®, Freelance®, Persuasion®, PowerPoint® and Macromedia Director® are trademarks of their respective companies.

Video Presentations

Use of video equipment, such as a VCR, DVD player and LD player, can be effective for delivering instructional or illustrative information that is difficult to present.

Digital Cameras and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs)

For highly compact and portable presentations, still cameras, digital video cameras, document cameras and PDAs are ideal for transferring data without cumbersome conversions.

Multimedia Presentations

You can integrate all of the above methods for a full multimedia presentation including video, audio, computer applications and World Wide Web information.

Wireless Presentations

Use any IrDA/IrTran-P compatible source such as a laptop, digital camera or PDA to project still images quickly and effortlessly without the use of cables.

b.Creative Presentations

Oftentimes presenters do not take advantage of the many subtle ways they can manipulate their electronic slides to more effectively persuade the audience.

Colour has a great effect on the audience during a presentation. When used correctly and legibly, studies show that background & foreground colours establish an emotional tone for a presentation, help viewers understand and retain information, and influence an audience to take a desired course of action.

Appendix

on Black

Colour Considerations

• Choose legible colours.

• Text and graphics colours need sufficient contrast.

• Use darker colours for the background since a lighter background

can create uncomfortable glare. (Yellow on black creates an ideal contrast.)

Page 50

Guide to Effective Presentations

Red

Blue

Green

Black

• Background colours can subconsciously affect the audience:

Red—increases viewers’ pulse and breathing and encourages risk taking but can also be associated with financial loss.

Blue—has a calming and conservative affect on the audience but can also create boredom among corporate audiences that are often inundated with this background colour.

Green—stimulates interaction.

Black—conveys finality and certainty. Use it as a transitional

colour between slides when moving from one idea to another.

• Foreground colours create a major impact on how well an audience understands and remembers a message.

• Use one or two bright colours for emphasis.

• Highlight important messages.

• The eye has a difficult time reading certain coloured text on

certain coloured backgrounds. For example, text and background colours in red and green, and blue and black make for difficult viewing.

• Colourblind individuals may find it difficult to distinguish between red and green, brown and green, and purple and blue. Avoid using these colours together.

Presentation from SHARP

One of the most common mistakes in any type of presentation visual is the selection of type fonts that are too small, too thin, or hard to read.

Sans-serif

Serif

Fonts

• One of the most common mistakes in any type of presentation visual is the selection of type fonts that are too small, too thin, or too difficult to read.

• If you are not sure how well a given font will read on a screen at various sizes, try this: Draw a 15 cm  20 cm box on a piece of paper and print out several lines of text inside the box with your computer printer at 300 or 600 dpi resolution. Vary the sizes of text to simulate headline, body and text call-outs for any charts or graphs. Hold the printout at arm’s length. This is how your text will look on a 1.2 meters-wide screen at 3 meters, on a 2.3 meters-wide screen at 6.1 meters and a 3.7 meters-wide screen at 9.1 meters. If you cannot read the text easily, you should put less copy on your visuals or use larger typefaces.

• Design your visuals so that they are visible by the viewer in the last row.

• Nothing will ruin your presentation faster than misspelled words. Take the time to proofread and edit your work before your visuals become a permanent part of your presentation.

• Mixed case text is easier to read than text which is displayed in capital letters.

• Another important attribute of fonts is whether any particular face is serif or sans-serif. Serifs are small, usually horizontal cross strokes that are added to the end of a letter’s main strokes. Because of their ability to coax the eye along the line of type, fonts with serifs are generally acknowledged to be more readable.

c. Set-Up

When giving a presentation, you need to set the stage both figuratively and literally for success. The way you set up a presentation room will have a great impact on the audience’s perception of you and your message. By manipulating the placement and use of the following tools, you will improve the impact of your presentation.

Lighting—Good lighting is an important component of a successful presentation. You should strive to create an unequal distribution of light. An audience should always see as much of the presenter’s face as possible, so most of the light should be focused on you. Because it is important for you to be able to read the audience’s faces and body language, some light should be shed upon them. However, no light should shine on the screen.

Stage— When presenting on the same level surface that your audience is on, most people can only see the top one-third of your body. Therefore, it is recommended that when giving a presentation to an audience of 25 or more, you stand on a stage or platform. As more of your body is visible, the easier it is to communicate with an audience.

Podiums—The best presenters avoid podiums because they hide 75% of the body and restrict movement. However, many people feel more comfortable with a podium to hold their notes and hide their discomfort. If you must use a podium, angle it at 45 degrees to the audience so that you are not completely hidden.

Visuals—It is imperative that you make sure your visuals are large enough and projected far enough for the audience to see. Eight times the height of an image is the optimal viewing distance to read 24 point type. The bottom of a screen should be at least 1.8 meters above the floor.

Screen—The screen should always be in the centre of the room so that all audience members can see it. Because people read from left to right, you should always stand to the audience’s left when discussing visuals.

Seating—Arrange seating according to the dynamics of your presentation. If the presentation is more than half-a-day, use classroom style seating—a chair and a desk. If you would like to encourage audience interaction, use chevron seating, angling the chairs into a “V” shape. When you have a very small audience, a “U” shaped arrangement will increase interchange.

Guide to Effective Presentations

d.Rehearsing & Delivery

• The best time to rehearse is the day or evening before, not a couple of hours before, and the best place to rehearse is in the actual room. Rehearsing a speech in a small office is not the same as standing up in front of 100 people in a hotel ballroom or classroom.

• Due to varying processor speeds of computers, practice your slide transitions for proper timing.

• Whenever possible, set up your equipment well in advance to allow adequate time to resolve any unexpected issues such as lighting, power, seating and audio.

• Thoroughly check every piece of equipment you bring along. Make sure you have fresh batteries in your remote controls and laptop computer. Fully charge your computer’s battery before the presentation and connect your AC adaptor for added safety.

• Make sure you are completely familiar with the control panel on your projector and remote controls.

• If you are using a microphone, check it out before hand and walk around to see where you might have problems with feedback. Avoid standing in these problem areas during your presentation.

e. Presentation Tips

• Before beginning, visualise yourself delivering an outstanding presentation.

• Know your speech, memorising at least the first three minutes of your presentation will allow you to focus on your rhythm and pacing.

• Speak to early arrivals to help you build a rapport with the audience and make you feel more comfortable.

• Do not be overly dependent on your visuals by reciting what your audience is already reading. Know your material well enough to be able to deliver the presentation with ease. Use your visuals to emphasise keypoints.

• Be sure to project your voice clearly and use eye contact to maintain audience attention.

• Do not wait until half way through your presentation to get your point across. If you wait and try to create a “build-up”, you may lose some of your audience along the way.

• Keep your audience’s attention. As most people only focus for 15 to 20 minutes during a one hour presentation, it is important to recapture their attention periodically. Use phrases like, “This is critical to my point” or “This is absolutely fundamental” to remind them you are saying something they need to hear.
