or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with
the product. Any mounting of the product should follow
the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a
mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
9. Transportation
A product and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the
product and cart combination to
overturn.
10. Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product and
to protect it from overheating. The openings should never
be covered or blocked by placing the product on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should
not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase
or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
11. Power Sources
This product should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the marking label. If you are
not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult
your product dealer or local power company. For products
intended to operate from battery power, or other sources,
refer to the operating instructions.
12. Grounding or Polarization
This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type
plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will
only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type
plug.
13. Power-Cord Protection
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon
or against them, paying particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the product.
14. Lightning
For added protection for this product during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage
to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
15. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire
or electric shock.

the product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the product does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating instructions, as an
improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the product to normal
operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or damaged in any
way.
f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance, this indicates a need for service.
19. Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or with the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
20. Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,
ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper operating
condition.
21. Wall or Ceiling Mounting

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 directed
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 95°F (5°C
and 35°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 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.
Notes on Operation
• The two marks shown on the left are caution labels for parts of the projector
that emit intense heat during operation.
• The exhaust vents, 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.”
” will flash in the lower-left corner of the picture. If the temperature continues
and “
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.
E-5
• 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.

Setting up the Screen
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 from the screen according
to the desired picture size (see the table below).

Using the Adjustment Feet
There are two front adjustment feet and a rear adjustment foot.
To lower the position of the picture, pull out the folded leg of the rear adjustment foot.
See the diagram shown below for using the front adjustment feet.
Operation
1
Press foot releases. Adjust height of projector
• The projector is adjustable up to approximately 5° from the standard position.
• When the height of the projector is adjusted, the image may become distorted (keystoned), depending on the relative positions of the
projector and the screen.
CAUTION
• Do not press the foot releases when the adjustment feet are extended without firmly holding the projector.
• Do not hold the lens when lifting or lowering the projector.
• When lowering the projector, be careful not to get your fingers caught in the area between the adjustment feet and the projector.
