Cautions Concerning the Laser Pointer

The laser pointer on the remote control emits a laser beam from the laser
pointer window. This is a Class II laser which may impair your sight if dir ected
into the eyes. The three 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 41°F and 104°F (`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.

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 fr om 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 r educe
the overall operation life. Please note that all internal cleaning must be
performed by an Authorized Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service
Center .

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 4 inches (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.

Temperature Monitor Function

If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or a dirty air filter , “TEMP.”
and “

” will flash in the lower-left corner of the picture. If the temperatur e continues
to rise, the lamp will turn off, the TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator on the
projector will flash, and after a 90-second cooling-off period the power will shut
off. Refer to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators” on page 47, for details.

• 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.

2. Setting up the Screen

H

L

X

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

• The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the lens center 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 colors, making viewing
difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.

• A polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector.

Standard Setup (Front Projection)

Place the projector at the required distance fr om the screen accor ding
to the desired picture size (see the table below).

• Optional wide and telephoto lenses from Sharp are available for
specialized application. Please see your local Sharp Industrial LCD
Products Dealer for details on the AN-T6EZ and AN-W6EZ lenses.
