The safety and operating instructions should be
retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings
All warnings on the product and in the operating
instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions
All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning
Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a

6. Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the
product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture
Do not use this product near water–for example, near
a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a
wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.
8. Accessories
Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage
to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, 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, and these openings
must not be blocked or covered. The openings should
never be 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 groundingtype 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.
16. Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into this product through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric
shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
17. Servicing
Do not attempt to service this product yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
-5

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen
into 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. When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
19. Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.

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 Authorized
SharpVision Service Center or Dealer
for replacement.
See “Replacing the Lamp” on pages 80-82.
CAUTION
PRECAUCIÓN
PRÉCAUTION
BQC-XVZ100005
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 an
Authorized SharpVision Service Center or Dealer.
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.
The projector may safely be tilted to a maximum
angle of 5 degrees.
■ Placement should be within ±5 degrees.
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.
■ Watching the screen for long hours continuously will
make your eyes tired. Be sure to occasionally rest your
eyes.
Avoid locations with high or low temperature.
■ The operating temperature for the projector is from 41°F
to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C).
■ The storage temperature for the projector is from
–4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).
■ 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.
Cautions regarding the 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 caution 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.
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 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.
Temperature monitor function
■ If the projector starts to overheat
due to setup problems or blockage
of the air vents, “ ” and
“ ” will blink 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 78 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 create damage due to the
rise in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also
stops.
Introduction
Do not block the intake and exhaust vents.
■ Allow at least 11.8" (30 cm) of space between the exhaust vent and the nearest wall or obstruction.
