Observe 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 replacement. See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 50.

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 (approx. 9 degrees) of the adjustment foot.

■ After the projector is purchased, a faint smell from the vent may appear when the power is first turned on. This is normal and is not a malfunction. It will disappear after the projector is used for a while.

When using the projector in high-altitude areas such as mountains (at altitudes of approximately 1,500 meters (4,900 feet) or more)

■ When you use the projector in high-altitude areas with thin air, set “Fan Mode” to “High”. Neglecting this can affect the longevity of the optical system.

Warning about placing the projector in a high position

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

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

■ Protect 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. Take regular breaks to 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.

■ Ensure 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 48 and 49.) 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.

Caution regarding usage of the projector

■ If you are not to use the projector for a long time or before moving the projector, make certain you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables connected to it.

■ If the power cord is unplugged while the cooling fan is running, some parts of the projector may still be hot. Use caution when handling the projector.

■ Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.

■ When storing the projector, ensure you at-

tach the lens cap to the projector. (See page

11.)

■ Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight or place next to heat sources. Doing so may affect the cabinet color or cause deformation of the plastic cover.

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, make sure you use an appropriate power cord for the country you are in.

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 60-second cooling-off period the projector will enter standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on page 48 for details.

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 mix new and old batteries. This may shorten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to leak.

• Remove the batteries from the remote control once they have run out, as leaving them in can cause them to leak. Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore ensure you wipe them first and then remove them using a cloth.

• The batteries included with this projector may run down in a short period, depending on how they are kept. Be sure to replace them as soon as possible with new batteries.

• Remove the batteries from the remote control if you will not be using the remote control for a long time.

• Comply with the rules (ordinance) of each local government when disposing of worn-out batteries.

Usable Range

The remote control can be used to control the projector within the ranges shown in the illustration.

Note

• The signal from the remote control can be reflected off a screen for easy operation. However, the effective distance of the signal may differ depending on the screen material.

When using the remote control

• Ensure that you do not drop it or expose it to moisture or high temperature.

• The remote control may malfunction under a fluorescent lamp. In this case, move the projector away from the fluorescent lamp.

Maintenance

Cleaning the projector

■ Ensure that you have unplugged the power cord before cleaning the projector.

■ The cabinet as well as the operation panel is made of plastic. Avoid using benzene or thinner, as these can damage the finish on the cabinet.

■ Do not use volatile agents such as insecticides on the projector. Do not attach rubber or plastic items to the projector for long periods. The effects of some of the agents in the plastic may cause damage to the quality or finish of the projector.

■ Wipe off dirt gently with a soft flannel cloth.

■ When the dirt is hard to remove, soak a cloth in

a mild detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth well and then wipe the projector. Strong cleaning detergents may discolor, warp or damage the coating on the projector. Make sure to test on a small, inconspicuous area on the projector before use.

Mild detergent

Mild detergent diluted

with water

Cleaning the lens

■ Use a commercially available blower or lens cleaning paper (for glasses and camera lenses) for cleaning the lens. Do not use any liquid type cleaning agents, as they may wear off the coating film on the surface of the lens.

■ As the surface of the lens can easily get damaged, be careful not to scrape or hit the lens.

Cleaning the exhaust and intake vents

■ Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the exhaust vent and the intake vent.

• Relocate the projector to an area with proper ventilation. (See page 8.)

•Take the projector to your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center (see page 63) for repair.

• Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet, and then connect it again.

• Carefully replace the lamp. (See page 51.)

•Take the projector to your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center (see page 63) for repair.

• Please exercise care when replacing the lamp.

• Securely install the cover.

• If the power indicator blinks in red even when the lamp unit cover is securely installed, contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center (see page 63) for advice.

Info

• If the temperature warning indicator illuminates, and the projector enters standby mode, follow the possible solutions above and then wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plugging in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 10 minutes.)

• If the power is turned off for a brief moment due to power outage or some other cause while using the projector, and the power supply recovers immediately after that, the lamp indicator will illuminate in red and the lamp may not be lit. In this case, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, replace the power cord in the AC outlet and then turn the power on again.

• The cooling fan keeps the internal temperature of the projector constant and this function is controlled automatically. The sound of the cooling fan may change during operation because the fan speed may change and this is not a malfunction.

Hg LAMP CONTAINS MERCURY For State Lamp Disposal Information www.lamprecycle.org or 1-800-BE-SHARP

Caution Concerning the Lamp

■ This projector utilizes a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp failure can be attributed to numerous sources such as: excessive shock, improper cooling, surface scratches or deterioration of the lamp due to a lapse of usage time. The period of time up to failure largely varies depending on the individual lamp and/or the condition and the frequency of use. It is important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking.

■ When the lamp replacement indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated, it is recommended that the lamp be replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating normally.

■ Should the lamp break, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside of the projector. In such a case, it is recommended you contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center to assure safe operation.

■ Should the lamp break, the glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage or gas contained in the lamp may be vented into the room from the exhaust vent. Because the gas in this lamp includes mercury, ventilate the room well if the lamp breaks and avoid all exposure to the released gas. In case of exposure to the gas, consult a doctor as soon as possible.

Troubleshooting

Problem Check

•Projector power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.

• Power to the external connected devices is off.

• The selected input mode is wrong.

• Cables are incorrectly connected to the projector.

• Remote control battery has run out.

•

No picture and no sound

or projector does not

start.

Sound is heard but no

picture appears

(or picture is dark).

Color is faded or poor.

Picture is blurred;

noise appears.

External output has not been set when connecting notebook computer.

• The lamp unit cover is not installed correctly.

•

If the connected DVI digital equipment is turned on before the “DVI-D” input mode is selected on the projector, the image may not be projected properly or may not be displayed at all. Ensure that the appropriate input mode has been selected on the projector before you turn on the connected equipment.

• Cables are incorrectly connected to the projector.

• “Bright” is set to minimum position.

• Depending on the computer you are using, an image may not be projected unless the signal output setting of the computer is switched to the external output. Refer to the computer’s operation manual for how to switch its signal output settings.

• Image adjustments are incorrectly set.

• Make adjustments of “Color” and “Tint” in “Picture Mode” and lower the “Bright Boost” value.

(Video Input only)

•Video input system is incorrectly set.

• Adjust the focus.

• The projection distance exceeds the focus range.

•

There is fog on the lens. If the projector is carried from a cold room into a warm room, or if it is suddenly heated, condensation may form on the surface of the lens and the image will become blurred. Set up the projector at least one hour before it is to be used. If condensation should form, remove the power cord from the wall outlet and wait for it to clear.

(Computer Input only)

• Perform “Fine Sync” Adjustments (“Clock” Adjustment)

• Perform “Fine Sync” Adjustments (“Phase” Adjustment)

• Noise may appear depending on the computer.

• Cables are incorrectly connected to the projector.
