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.
8
???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.
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 coun- try you are in.

Introduction
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 pro- jector and the equipment to be connected for instructions on how to make the connections.
Info
???The cooling fan regulates the internal tem- perature, 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 malfunc- tion.
???Do not unplug the power cord during projec- tion or cooling fan operation. This can cause damage due to rise in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.

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.
Cleaning the exhaust and intake vents
???Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the exhaust vent and the intake vent.
Mild detergent diluted with water
Wax Thinner
Info
??? If you want to clean the air vents during pro- jector operation, be sure to press S STANDBY/ON on the projector or eSTANDBY on the remote control and put the projector into standby mode. After the cooling fan has stopped, clean the vents.

Maintenance Indicators
???The warning lights (power indicator, lamp indicator and temperature warning indicator) on the projector indicate problems inside the projector.

Info
???If the temperature warning indicator illuminates, and the projector enters standby mode, follow the possible solutions above and then wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plug- ging in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 10 minutes.)
???If the power is turned off for a brief moment due to power outage or some other cause while using the projector, and the power supply recovers immediately after that, the lamp indicator will illumi- nate in red and the lamp may not be lit. In this case, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, replace the power cord in the AC outlet and then turn the power on again.
???The cooling fan keeps the internal temperature of the projector constant and this function is con- trolled automatically. The sound of the cooling fan may change during operation because the fan speed may change and this is not a malfunction.
???Do not unplug the power cord after the projector has entered standby mode and while the cooling fan is running. The cooling fan runs for about 90 seconds.

Caution Concerning the Lamp
???This projector utilizes a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp failure can be attributed to numerous sources such as: excessive shock, improper cooling, surface scratches or deterioration of the lamp due to a lapse of usage time.
The period of time up to failure largely varies depending on the individual lamp and/or the condition and the frequency of use. It is important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking.

???Should the lamp break, the glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage or gas contained in the lamp may be vented into the room from the exhaust vent. Because the gas in this lamp includes mercury, ventilate the room well if the lamp breaks and avoid all exposure to the released gas. In case of exposure to the gas, consult a doctor as soon as possible.
Replacing the Lamp
Caution
???Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may cause burn or injury.
???Carefully change the lamp by following the instructions described in this section. * If you wish, you may have the lamp replaced at your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center.
*If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair.
