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 an Authorized SharpVision Service Center or Dealer.

• Do not expose the projector to extreme heat or cold. Operating temperature: 41°F to 95°F (+5°C to 35°C) Storage temperature: –4°F to 140°F (–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 1 foot (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.
