Ensure that you 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 Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center for replacement. See "Regarding the Lamp" on page 71.

Caution 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 vents and 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 a Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center.

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 be safely tilted to a maximum angle of 9 degrees.

■Placement should be within 9 degrees of horizontal.

If you have application requiring tilt angle exceeding 9 degrees, please check with your local Sharp sales office.

Two diagrams showing a device with a 9° angle and a red X symbol on a spring (no text or labels)

When using the projector in high-altitude areas such as mountains (at altitudes of approximately 1,500 meters (4,900 feet) or more)

■When you use the projector in high-altitude areas with thin air, set "Fan Mode" to "High". Neglecting this can affect the longevity of the optical system.

Warning about placing the projector in a high position

■When placing the projector in a high position, make certain it is carefully secured to avoid personal injury caused by the projector falling down.

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.

■Continuously watching the screen for long hours will cause eye strain. Take regular breaks to rest your eyes.

Avoid locations with extremes of temperature.

■The operating temperature of the projector is from 41°F to 104°F (+5°C to +40°C).

■The storage temperature of the projector is from -4^ to 140^ ( -20^ to +60^ ).

Do not block the intake and exhaust vents.

• Allow at least 11 ^13/16 inches (30 cm) of space between the exhaust vent and the nearest wall or obstruction.
  ■ Set up the projector where air will not stay near its exhaust vent. In order to avoid allowing the heat from the exhaust vent to enter the intake vent area, leave at least more than 11^13/16 inches (30 cm) of space between the intake vent and the surrounding walls or objects.
  If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection circuit will automatically put the projector into standby mode to prevent overheat damage. This does not indicate a malfunction (See pages 69 and 70.). 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.

Caution regarding usage of the projector

■ When using the projector, take care not to subject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in damage. Take extra care with the lens. If you are not to use the projector for a long time, make certain you 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, ensure you attach the lens cap or dustproof cap to the projector. (See page 13.)
■ Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight or near heat sources. The projector may change color or become deformed.

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.

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, make sure you use an appropriate power cord for the country you are in.

Temperature monitor function

If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or blockage of the air vents,

and "TEMP. luminate in

TEMP.

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 69 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.
• Even if you unplug the power cord after projector operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a while. When you place the projector into the storage case, make sure that the cooling fan has stopped.

Optional lens installation

■ For installing an optional lens, refer to "Attaching the Optional Lens" on page 77 or the lens installation manual (supplied with the optional lens).
■ Remove the optional lens when carrying the projector. Carrying the projector with an optional lens attached can cause the projector to be damaged by vibration or other factors.

Setting Up the Projector

For optimal image quality, position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projector's feet flat and level. Doing so will eliminate the need for Keystone correction and provide the best image quality.

Note

• The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
• For an optimal image, 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 projector in a sunny or bright room.

Standard Setup (Front Projection)

Green: The lamp is on.
Blinking green: The lamp is warming up.
Red: The lamp is shut down abnormally or the lamp should be replaced.

• When switching on the projector, a slight flickering of the image may be experienced within the first minute after the lamp has been illuminated. This is normal operation as the lamp's control circuitry is stabilizing the lamp output characteristics. This does not indicate malfunction.
• If the projector is put into standby mode and immediately turned on again, the lamp may take some time to illuminate.

Turning the Power Off (Putting the Projector into Standby Mode)

Press STANDBY on the projector or on the remote control, then press that button again while the confirmation message is displayed, to put the projector into standby mode.

Info

Correcting Trapezoidal Distortion

When the image is projected either from the top or from the bottom towards the screen at an angle, the image becomes distorted trapezoidally.

The function for correcting trapezoidal distortion is called Keystone Correction.

There are the two types of the Keystone Correction.

1) "GEOMETRIC ADJUSTMENT" for correcting an image designating the corner of the projected image
2) "H&V KEYSTONE" for designating the correction of the horizontal and vertical axes

Selecting the Type of the Correction

Select the type of the keystone correction.

Press KEYSTONE on the projector or on the remote control.

• "GEOMETRIC ADJUSTMENT" will be displayed.
  • Each time KEYSTONE is pressed, the display toggles as follows:

GEOMETRIC → H&V KEYSTONE ADJUSTMENT ↓ The display ← IMAGE:RESIZING * disappears.

GEOMETRIC ADJUSTMENT	For correcting an image designating the corner of the projected image
H&V KEYSTONE	For correcting an image designating the horizontal or vertical axes
IMAGE RESIZING	For correcting the image distortion which cannot be corrected with “H&V KEYSTONE”.*Only when “H&V KEYSTONE” is set to the values other than “0”, “IMAGE RESIZING” can be adjusted. (This function cannot be used when correcting with “GEO-METRIC ADJUSTMENT”.)

GEOMETRIC ADJUSTMENT

1 Press KEYSTONE on the projector or on the remote control repeatedly until “GEOMETRIC ADJUSTMENT” is displayed.

2 Press the buttons below to adjust the position, size or focus of the projected image.

Maintenance Indicators

■ The warning lights on the projector indicate problems inside the projector.
If a problem occurs, either the temperature warning indicator or the lamp indicator will illuminate red, and the projector will enter the standby mode. After the projector has entered the standby mode, follow the procedures given below.

About the temperature warning indicator

TEMP.

If the temperature inside the projector increases, due to blockage of the air vents, or the setting location, "TEMP." will illuminate in the lower left corner of the picture. If the temperature keeps on rising, the lamp will turn off and the temperature warning indicator will blink, the cooling fan will run for a further 90 seconds, and then the projector will enter the standby mode. After "TEMP." appears, ensure you perform the measures described on page 70.

About the lamp indicator

Change The Lamp. (LAMP 1)

"Change The Lamp. (LAMP 2)" is displayed when the remaining life of the lamp 2 becomes 5% or less.

■ When the remaining lamp life becomes 5% or less, “☒” (yellow) and “Change The Lamp. (LAMP 1/2)” will be displayed on the screen.
■ When the percentage becomes 0%, it will change to “×” (red), the lamp will automatically turn off. At this time, the lamp indicator will illuminate in red.

If you try to turn on the projector a fourth time without replacing the lamp, the lamp whose life is 0% will not light up.

Hg LAMP CONTAINS MERCURY For State Lamp Disposal Information

www.lamprecycle.org or 1-800-BE-SHARP

U.S.A. ONLY

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.
■ When the lamp indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated, it is recommended that the lamp be replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating normally.
■ 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.
■ Should the lamp break, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside of the projector. In such a case, it is recommended you contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center to assure safe operation.
