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 a replacement.

警告注意 CAUTION PRECAUTION PRECAUTION ATC/BEHICPT

See "Replacing the Lamp" on page 64.

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 12 degrees.

■ Placement should be within ±12 degrees of horizontal.

Diagram of a tilted solar panel with a circular ring, resting on stacked books (no text or symbols present)

Warning about placing the projector in a high position

■ When placing the projector in a high position, ensure to secure it carefully 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. Ensure to occasionally 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 7 ^7/8 inches (20 cm) of space between the exhaust vent and the nearest wall or obstruction.

■ Ensure that the intake vent and the exhaust vent are not obstructed.

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 62 and 63.). 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, ensure 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, ensure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables connected to it.
■ Do not use the projector by holding the lens.
■ When storing the projector, ensure to attach the lens cap to the projector. (See page 11.)
■ Do not expose the storage case or projector to direct sunlight or near heat sources. The storage case or 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, ensure to use an appropriate power cord for the country you are in.

nate in the tower 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 62 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.
- Do not unplug the power cord during projection or cooling fan operation. This can cause damage due to rise in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.

Maintenance Indicators Power indicator Lamp indicator Temperature warning indicator ON POWER LAMP TEMP STANDBY INPUT KEYSTONE VOL ZOOM / FOCUS AUTO SYNC MENU PICTURE MODE

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 to perform the measures described on page 63.

About the lamp indicator

Change The Lamp.

■ When the remaining lamp life becomes 5% or less, “☒” (yellow) and “Change The Lamp.” will be displayed on the screen. When the percentage becomes 0%, it will change to “☒” (red), the lamp will automatically turn off and then the projector will automatically enter the standby mode. 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 projector will not turn on.

Maintenance indicator			Problem	Cause Possible solution
	Normal	Abnormal
Temperature warning indicator	Off	Red on (Standby)	The internal temperature is abnormally high.	• Blocked air intake
				•Cooling fan break-down•Internal circuit failure•Clogged air intake
Lamp indicator	Green on (Green blinks when the lamp is warming up or shutting down.)	Red on	The lamp does not illuminate.	•The lamp is shut down abnormally.
			Time to change the lamp.	•Remaining lamp life becomes 5% or less.
		Red on (Standby)	The lamp does not illuminate.	•Burnt-out lamp•Lamp circuit failure

Info

• If the temperature warning indicator illuminates and the projector enters the standby mode, check whether any of the ventilation holes are blocked (see page 7) and then try turning the power back on. Wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plugging 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 illuminate 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.
• Do not unplug the power cord after the projector has entered the standby mode and while the cooling fan is running. The cooling fan runs for about 90 seconds.

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 replacement 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.

Glossary

Aspect Ratio

Width and height ratio of an image. The normal aspect ratio of a computer and video image is 4:3. There are also wide images with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and 21:9.

Auto Sync

Optimizes projected computer images by automatically adjusting certain characteristics.

Background

Initial setting image projected when no signal is being output.

Border

Projects a 4:3 image fully within a 16:9 screen by keeping the aspect ratio at 4:3.

Clock

Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise when clock level is incorrect.

CLR Temp (Color temperature)

Function that can be used to adjust the color temperature to suit the type of image input to the projector. Decrease the color temperature to create warmer, reddish images for natural flesh tones, or increase to create cooler, bluish images for a brighter picture.

Dot by dot

Mode that projects images in their native resolution.

Intelligent compression

High quality resizing of lower and higher resolution images to fit the projector's native resolution.

Keylock

Mode that can lock the operation of projector buttons to prevent unauthorized adjustment.

Keystone Correction

Function to digitally correct a distorted image when the projector is set up at an angle, smoothens out jaggies on keystone images and compresses the image not only horizontally but vertically keeping the 4:3 aspect ratio.

Password

A password is set so that changes cannot be made in the "Options2" setting.

Phase

Phase shift is a timing shift between isomorphic signals with the same resolution. When phase level is incorrect, the projected image typically displays horizontal flicker.

Picture Mode

Image quality enhancement function that offers a richer image by brightening the darker portions of the image without altering the brightness of the brighter portions. You can select four different modes: STANDARD, PRESENTATION, CINEMA and GAME.

Resize

Allows you to modify or customize the picture display mode to enhance the input image. You can select four different modes: NORMAL, DOT BY DOT, BORDER and STRETCH.

sRGB

An international standard of color reproduction regulated by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). As the fixed color area has been decided by the IEC, the color changes according to DLP features, so that the images are displayed in a natural tint based on an original image, when "sRGB" is set to "ON".

Stretch

Mode that stretches the 4:3 image horizontally to display it fully on a 16:9 screen.

System Lock

If the "Keycode" set in the projector is not correctly entered, the projector will not operate even if signals are entered.
