Be sure to read the following safeguards when setting
up your projector.

Caution concerning the lamp unit

■ Potential hazard of glass par­ticles if lamp ruptures. In case
of lamp rupture, contact your
nearest Sharp Authorized
Projector Dealer or Service
Center for a replacement.
See “Replacing the Lamp” on
page 55.

AN-XR1LP

Caution 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 vents and 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 Authorized Projector Dealer or
Service Center.

Do not set up the projector in places ex­posed to direct sunlight or bright light.

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

Caution regarding placing of the projec­tor.

■ Place the projector on a level site within the
adjustment range of the adjustment foot.

Do not turn the projector upside down
immediately after putting into standby
mode.

■ This may cause burns due to rise in tempera­ture of the lamp unit cover.

Warning about placing the projector in
a high position

■ When placing the projector in a high position,
be sure to secure it carefully to avoid per­sonal injury caused by the projector falling
down.

Do not subject the projector to hard im­pact and/or vibration.

■ Take care with the lens so as not to hit or
damage the surface of the lens.

Rest your eyes occasionally.

■ Continuously watching the screen for long
hours will cause eye strain. Be sure to occa­sionally rest your eyes.

Avoid locations with extremes of tem­perature.

■ The operating temperature of the projector is
from 41°F to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C).

■ The storage temperature of the projector is
from –4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).

Do not block the exhaust and intake
vents.

■ Allow at least 11 13/16 inches (30 cm) of space
between the exhaust vent and the nearest
wall or obstruction.

■ Be sure that the intake vent and the exhaust
vent are not obstructed.

■ If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a pro­tection circuit will automatically put the pro­jector into standby mode to prevent overheat
damage. This does not indicate a malfunc­tion. (See pages 53 and 54.) Remove the pro­jector power cord from the wall outlet and wait
at least 10 minutes. Place the projector where
the intake and exhaust vents are not blocked,
plug the power cord back in and turn on the
projector. This will return the projector to the
normal operating condition.

■ When turning off the projector, the cooling fan
runs to decrease the internal temperature for
a while. Unplug the power cord after the cool­ing fan stops. The period the cooling fan runs
will vary, depending on the circumstances and
the internal temperature.

8

Caution regarding transportation of the
projector

■ When transporting the projector, be sure not
to subject it to hard impact and/or vibration,
as this can result in damage. Take extra care
with the lens. Before moving the projector,
be sure to unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables
connected to it.

■ Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.

■ When transporting the projector, be sure to

place the projector in the supplied soft case.
(See page 11.)

Other connected equipment

■ When connecting a computer or other audio­visual equipment to the projector, make the
connections AFTER unplugging the power
cord of the projector from the AC outlet and
turning off the equipment to be connected.

■ Please read the operation manuals of the pro­jector and the equipment to be connected for
instructions on how to make the connections.

Using the projector in other countries

■ The power supply voltage and the shape of
the plug may vary depending on the region
or country you are using the projector in.
When using the projector overseas, be sure
to use an appropriate power cord for the coun­try you are in.

Info

• 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. This does not indicate malfunc­tion.

• Do not unplug the power cord during projec­tion or cooling fan operation. This can cause
damage due to rise in internal temperature,
as the cooling fan also stops.

Introduction

Temperature monitor function

■

If the projector starts to overheat due to setup
problems or blockage of the air vents, “ ” and
“ ” will illuminate in the lower left corner
of the picture. If the temperature continues to
rise, the lamp will turn off, the temperature warn­ing indicator on the projector will blink, and af­ter a 90-second cooling-off period the projector
will enter standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance
Indicators” on page 53 for details.
