Observe the following safeguards when setting up your projector.
Caution concerning the lamp unit
??? Potential hazard of glass par- ticles if lamp ruptures. In case of lamp rupture, contact your nearest Sharp Autho- rized Projector Dealer or Ser- vice Center for replacement.
See ???Replacing the Lamp??? on page 50.
Caution concerning the setup of the pro- jector
???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 of- ten. 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.
When using the projector in
???When you use the projector in
Warning about placing the projector in a high position
???When placing the projector in a high position, ensure that it is secured carefully to avoid per- sonal injury caused by the projector falling down.
Do not subject the projector to hard im- pact 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. Be sure to occa- sionally rest your eyes.
Do not set up the projector in places ex- posed 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 projec- tor
???Place the projector on a level site within the adjustment range (8 degrees) of the adjust- ment foot.
Avoid locations with extremes of tem- perature.
???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
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.
???Be sure that the intake vent and the exhaust vent are not obstructed.
???If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a pro- tection circuit will automatically put the pro- jector into standby mode to prevent overheat damage. This does not indicate a malfunc- tion. (See pages 48 and 49.) Remove the pro- jector 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.

???When turning off the projector, the cooling fan runs to decrease the internal temperature for a while. Unplug the power cord after the cool- ing fan stops. The period the cooling fan runs will vary, depending on the circumstances and the internal temperature.
Caution regarding usage of the projector
???When using the projector, be sure not to sub- ject 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 storing the projector,
???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.

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.
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 sure not to scrape or hit the lens.
