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.

Important Safeguards

ATTENTION: Please read all of these instructions before you operate your LCD Projector
for the first time. Save these instructions for future reference.

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.

17. Unplug the LCD Projector equipment from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:

a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the LCD Projector.
c. If the LCD Projector has been exposed to rain or

water.

d. If the LCD Projector does not operate normally

when you follow the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the oper­ating instructions, as improper adjustment of other
controls may cause damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the LCD Projector to normal operation.

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.

a. Two-wire type mains plug.
b. Three-wire grounding type mains plug with a

grounding terminal.
This plug will only fit into a grounding type power
outlet.

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

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.

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.

Important

Information

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 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.

Cautions Concerning the Laser Pointer

Caution Concerning the Lamp Replacement

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 must
be cleaned more often. 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.

• 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 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.

Using the Adjustment Feet

Setting Up the Screen

Using the Adjustment Feet

Rotate feet to adjust height of the 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.

Setup & Connections

Adjusting the Projection Distance

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 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 polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector.

Six optional lenses from Sharp are also available for specialised application. Please see your local Sharp Authorised
LCD Projector Dealer for details on all the lenses. (Refer to the lens operation manual when attaching a lens.)
Be sure to have service personnel install optional lenses.
