IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Important

Information

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

For your own protection and prolonged operation of your 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 Projector, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.

1. Unplug the 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 Projector manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

4. Do not use the Projector near water; for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc. Never spill liquid into the projector.

5. Do not place the Projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The 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. 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 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 Projector should never be placed near or over a radiator or heating vent. The Projector should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

10. The 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 Projector dealer or local power company.

11. Do not place the Projector where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.

12. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the 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 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 Projector yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

17. Unplug the 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 Projector. c. If the Projector has been exposed to rain or water. d. If the 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 Projector to normal operation.

e. If the Projector has been dropped or the cabinet

has been damaged.

f. When the 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 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.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Caution Concerning the Lamp Unit

There is a potential hazard of glass particles if the 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 47.

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 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 expose the projector to extreme heat or cold. Operating temperature: +5°C to 35°C Storage temperature: –20°C to +60°C

Notes on Operation

• The exhaust ventilative hole, the lamp cage cover and adjacent areas may get extremely hot during projector operation. To prevent injury, do not touch these areas until they have sufficiently cooled down.

• Allow at least 30 cm of space between the exhaust ventilative hole 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.

If the temperature continues to rise, the lamp will turn off, the TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator on the projector will flash, and after a 90-second coolingoff period the power will shut off. Refer to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators” on page 45, for details.

• 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.

Lamp Monitor Function

When the projector is turned on after the lamp has been used for 1,900 hours, “LAMP” and “ to replace the lamp. See page 47 for lamp replacement. If the lamp has been used for 2,000 hours, the projector power will automatically turn off and the projector will enter standby mode. Refer to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators” on page 45, for details.
