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

Introduction

Caution concerning the lamp unit

■ Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp
ruptures. In case of lamp rupture, con­tact your nearest Sharp Authorised Pro­jector Dealer or Service Centre for a re­placement.
See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 54.

BQC-PGB10S//1

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 lens
and part of filter must be cleaned more often than usual.
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 a Sharp Authorised Projector Dealer or
Service Centre.

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 colours, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and
dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or
bright room.

The projector may be safely tilted to a maximum
angle of 12 degrees.

■ Placement should be within ±12 degrees of horizontal.

12°

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.

Do not mount the projector on a ceiling by turning it over.

■ Use the lens shift feature when projecting the image from
a high position.

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 +5°C to
+35°C.

■ The storage temperature of the projector is from
–20°C to +60°C.

Do not block the exhaust and intake vents.

■ Allow at least 20 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 the standby mode.
This does not indicate a malfunction. 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 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 attach the lens

shipping block and the lens cap to the projector.

Other connected equipment

■ When connecting a computer or other audio-visual equip­ment to the projector, make the connections AFTER un­plugging the power cord of the projector from the wall 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.

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 the standby
mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on page 52 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 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.

Using the Remote Control

Usable Range

Introduction

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 re-

flected 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:

• Be sure not to drop, expose 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.

2 Insert the batteries.

• Insert the batteries making sure the po-

larities correctly match the and
marks inside the battery compartment.

3 Attach the cover and slide it until

it clicks into place.

Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please follow the precautions below.

Caution

• Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the and marks inside the battery compart-

ment.

• Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types.

• 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 be sure to first wipe them 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.

Setting up the Screen

Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level (without using the adjustment
feet) to achieve an optimal image.

Note

• The projector lens should be centred in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through the

lens centre is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.

• For an optimal image, position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly

on the screen washes out the colours, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when
setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.

• A polarising 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
page 17.)
