Cautions Concerning the Laser Pointer

The laser pointer on the remote control emits a laser beam from the laser pointer window. This is a Class II laser which may impair your sight if directed into the eyes. The three marks shown on the left are caution labels for the laser beam.

• Do not look into the laser pointer window or shine the laser beam on yourself or others. (The laser beam used in this product is harmless when directed onto the skin. However, be careful not to project the beam directly into the eyes.)
• Always use the laser pointer at temperatures between 41^ and 104^ (+5^ and +40^) .
• Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

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. When the projector is subjected to these environments, the lens and filter must be cleaned more often. Periodically the filter should be replaced and the projector 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.

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 4 inches (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.

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 47, 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.

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. If you have any questions about this matter, please call toll free 1-800-BE-SHARP (1-800-237-4277). U.S.A. ONLY

Electronic presentations are one of the most effective tools presenters can use to persuade an audience. There are several ways to enhance your presentation and maximize your effectiveness. The following are guidelines to help you create and deliver a dynamic presentation.

a. Types of Presentations

Computer Presentations

• To present basic information such as graphs, spreadsheets, documents and images, use word processing and spreadsheet applications.
• To convey more complex information and create more dynamic presentations which allow you to control the pace of your delivery, utilize software such as Astound®, Freelance®, Persuasion® or PowerPoint®.
• For high-end multimedia and interactive presentations, use software such as Macromedia Director®.

NOTE

• Astound®, Freelance®, Persuasion®, PowerPoint® and Macromedia Director® are trademarks of their respective companies.

Video Presentations

Use of video equipment, such as a VCR, DVD player and laser disc player, can be effective for delivering instructional or illustrative information that is difficult to present.

Digital Cameras and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs)

For highly compact and portable presentations, still cameras, digital video cameras, document cameras and PDAs are ideal for transferring data without cumbersome conversions.

Multimedia Presentations

You can integrate all of the above methods for a full multimedia presentation including video, audio, computer applications and World Wide Web information.

Wireless Presentations

Use any IrDA/IrTranP compatible source such as a laptop, digital camera or PDA to project still images quickly and effortlessly without the use of cables.

b. Creative Presentations

Oftentimes presenters do not take advantage of the many subtle ways they can manipulate their electronic slides to more effectively persuade the audience.

Color has a great effect on the audience during a presentation. When used correctly and legibly, studies show that background & foreground colors establish an emotional tone for a presentation, help viewers understand and retain information, and influence an audience to take a desired course of action.

Color Considerations

• Choose legible colors.
  Text and graphics colors need sufficient contrast.
• Use darker colors for the background since a lighter background can create uncomfortable glare. (Yellow on black creates an ideal contrast.)

Sans-serif Serif

• Background colors can subconsciously affect the audience:

Red—increases viewers' pulse and breathing and encourages risk taking but can also be associated with financial loss.

Blue—has a calming and conservative affect on the audience but can also create boredom among corporate audiences that are often inundated with this background color.

Green-stimulates interaction.

Black—conveys finality and certainty. Use it as a transitional color between slides when moving from one idea to another.

• Foreground colors create a major impact on how well an audience understands and remembers a message.
• Use one or two bright colors for emphasis.
• Highlight important messages.
• The eye has a difficult time reading certain colored text on certain colored backgrounds. For example, text and background colors in red and green, and blue and black make for difficult viewing.
  Colorblind individuals may find it difficult to distinguish between red and green, brown and green, and purple and blue. Avoid using these colors together.

Fonts

• One of the most common mistakes in any type of presentation visual is the selection of type fonts that are too small, too thin, or too difficult to read.
• If you are not sure how well a given font will read on a screen at various sizes, try this: Draw a 6'' × 8'' box on a piece of paper and print out several lines of text inside the box with your computer printer at 300 or 600 dpi resolution. Vary the sizes of text to simulate headline, body and text call-outs for any charts or graphs. Hold the printout at arm's length. This is how your text will look on a 4' (1.2 meters)-wide screen at 10' (3 meters), on a 7.5' (2.3 meters)-wide screen at 20' (6.1 meters) and a 12' (3.7 meters)-wide screen at 30' (9.1 meters). If you cannot read the text easily, you should put less copy on your visuals or use larger typefaces.
• Design your visuals so that they are visible by the viewer in the last row.
• Nothing will ruin your presentation faster than misspell words. Take the time to proofread and edit your work before your visuals become a permanent part of your presentation.
• Mixed case text is easier to read than text which is displayed in capital letters.
• Another important attribute of fonts is whether any particular face is serif or sans-serif. Serifes are small, usually horizontal cross strokes that are added to the end of a letter's main strokes. Because of their ability to coax the eye along the line of type, fonts with serifs are generally acknowledged to be more readable.

c. Set-Up

When giving a presentation, you need to set the stage both figuratively and literally for success. The way you set up a presentation room will have a great impact on the audience's perception of you and your message. By manipulating the placement and use of the following tools, you will improve the impact of your presentation.

Lighting—Good lighting is an important component of a successful presentation. You should strive to create an unequal distribution of light. An audience should always see as much of the presenter's face as possible, so most of the light should be focused on you. Because it is important for you to be able to read the audience's faces and body language, some light should be shed upon them. However, no light should shine on the screen.

Stage—When presenting on the same level surface that your audience is on, most people can only see the top one-third of your body. Therefore, it is recommended that when giving a presentation to an audience of 25 or more, you stand on a stage or platform. As more of your body is visible, the easier it is to communicate with an audience.

Podiums—The best presenters avoid podiums because they hide 75% of the body and restrict movement. However, many people feel more comfortable with a podium to hold their notes and hide their discomfort. If you must use a podium, angle it at 45 degrees to the audience so that you are not completely hidden.

Visuals—It is imperative that you make sure your visuals are large enough and projected far enough for the audience to see. Eight times the height of an image is the optimal viewing distance to read 24 point type. The bottom of a screen should be at least 6' (1.8 meters) above the floor.

Screen—The screen should always be in the center of the room so that all audience members can see it. Because people read from left to right, you should always stand to the audience's left when discussing visuals.

Seating—Arrange seating according to the dynamics of your presentation. If the presentation is more than half-a-day, use classroom style seating—a chair and a desk. If you would like to encourage audience interaction, use chevron seating, angling the chairs into a "V" shape. When you have a very small audience, a "U" shaped arrangement will increase interchange.

d. Rehearsing & Delivery

• The best time to rehearse is the day or evening before, not a couple of hours before, and the best place to rehearse is in the actual room. Rehearsing a speech in a small office is not the same as standing up in front of 100 people in a hotel ballroom or classroom.
• Due to varying processor speeds of computers, practice your slide transitions for proper timing.
• Whenever possible, set up your equipment well in advance to allow adequate time to resolve any unexpected issues such as lighting, power, seating and audio.
• Thoroughly check every piece of equipment you bring along. Make sure you have fresh batteries in your remote controls and laptop computer. Fully charge your computer's battery before the presentation and connect your AC adaptor for added safety.
• Make sure you are completely familiar with the control panel on your projector and remote controls.
• If you are using a microphone, check it out before hand and walk around to see where you might have problems with feedback. Avoid standing in these problem areas during your presentation.

e. Presentation Tips

• Before beginning, visualize yourself delivering an outstanding presentation.
• Know your speech, memorizing at least the first three minutes of your presentation will allow you to focus on your rhythm and pacing.
• Speak to early arrivals to help you build a rapport with the audience and make you feel more comfortable.
• Do not be overly dependent on your visuals by reciting what your audience is already reading. Know your material well enough to be able to deliver the presentation with ease. Use your visuals to emphasize keypoints.
• Be sure to project your voice clearly and use eye contact to maintain audience attention.
• Do not wait until halfway through your presentation to get your point across. If you wait and try to create a "build-up", you may lose some of your audience along the way.
• Keep your audience's attention. As most people only focus for 15 to 20 minutes during a one-hour presentation, it is important to recapture their attention periodically. Use phrases like, "This is critical to my point" or "This is absolutely fundamental" to remind them you are saying something they need to hear.
