Exterior view of a Sharp Sharp projector with a remote control unit (no visible text or symbols on the device body)

This equipment complies with the requirements of Directives 89/336/EEC and 73/23/EEC as amended by 93/68/EEC.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked 🌐 or ◎ and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.

Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted. In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.

DANGER:

The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.

Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur.

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

IMPORTANT:

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.

- The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.

Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.

Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:

- If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.

- The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Cautions 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. If the projector is used in these environments, the lens and filter will need to be cleaned (or the filter replaced) more often, and internal cleaning may become necessary. 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 Authorised LCD Projector Dealer or Service Centre.

Notes on Operation

• The exhaust vent, the lamp cage cover and adjacent areas may be extremely hot during projector operation. To prevent injury, do not touch these areas until they have sufficiently cooled.
• Allow at least 10 cm of space between the cooling fan (exhaust vent) and the nearest wall or obstruction.
• If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection device will automatically turn off the projector lamp. This does not indicate a malfunction. Remove the projector power cord from the wall outlet and wait at least 10 minutes. Then turn on the power by plugging the power cord back in. This will return the projector to the normal operating condition.

Usage Guidelines

Temperature Monitor Function

If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or a dirty air filter, "TEMP." and "X" will flash in 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 flash, and after a 90-second cooling-off period the power will shut off. Refer to "Lamp/Maintenance Indicators" on page 49, for details.

NOTE

- 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.

Lamp Monitor Function

When the projector is turned on after the lamp has been used for 1,900 hours, "LAMP" and "B" will flash in the lower-left corner of the picture to advise you to replace the lamp. See pages 50 and 51 for lamp replacement. If the lamp has been used for 2,000 hours, the projector power will automatically turn off and the projector will enter standby mode. Refer to "Lamp/Maintenance Indicators" on page 49, for details.

This SHARP projector uses LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels. These very sophisticated panels contain 786,432 pixels (× RGB) TFTs (Thin Film Transistors). As with any high technology electronic equipment such as large screen TVs, video systems and video cameras, there are certain acceptable tolerances that the equipment must conform to.

This unit has some inactive TFTs within acceptable tolerances which may result in illuminated or inactive dots on the picture screen. This will not affect the picture quality or the life expectancy of the unit.

Specifications are subject to change without notice.

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 “Replacing the Lamp” on page 60.

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.

Two diagrams showing a hand holding a tool with a red X mark and a blue O-shaped object on a surface, no text or symbols present.

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 95°F (+5°C to +35°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 58 and 59). 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 to the projector. (See page 12.)
■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, 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,

TEMP.

“×” and “TEMP.” will illumi-

nate in 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 58 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.

If a problem occurs, either the temperature 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 59.

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
