When the projector is subjected to these environ- ments, the lens and filter must be cleaned more often. Periodically the filter should be replaced and the pro- jector should be cleaned internally. 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 Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Center. + Do not expose to extreme heat or cold. Operating temperature: 41°F to 104°F (+5°C to +40°C) Storage temperature: —4°F to 140°F (—20°C to +60°C) + Do nottiltthe projector more than 5°. + Position the screen so thatit is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly onto the screen washes out colors, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when using the screen in a bright or sunny room. + The best picture will be obtained when the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the screen. Position the projector and screen as shown. E-11

A personal computer can be used to control the projector by connecting the supplied computer control cable to the PC CONTROL 1 terminal on the projector and an RS-232C cable (cross type) (not supplied) to the computer, and then connecting the RS-232C cable to the computer control cable. (RS-232C does not function when connected to PC CONTROL 2. See page 15 for connection.)

2. Communication conditions

Set the serial port settings of the computer to match that of the table below. Conforms to RS-232C standard. Signal format: Baud rate: Data length: Parity bit: Stop bit: Flow control:

9,600 bps 8 bits NON 1bit None Commands from the computer are sent in the following order: command, parameter, and return code. After the unit processes the command from the computer, it sends a response code to the computer. Command format [ci] c2]c3[ca[p1|p2]P3[p4] Return code (0DH) COmmand 4-digits parameter 4-digits Response code format Normal response [Lo] K | | Return code (0DH) | Problem response (communication error or incorrect command) [E] RIR] | Return code (ODH)| When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the OK response code for the previous command from the unit is verified. Note: + Using the computer control function of the unit, the liquid crystal projector conditions cannot be read to the computer. There- fore, confirm the conditions by transmitting the display commands for each adjustment menu and checking the conditions with the On-Screen Display. If the unit receives a command other than a menu display command, it will execute the command without displaying the On-Screen Display.
