Observe 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 pag
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. 
Rest your eyes occasionally.
 
Continuously watching the screen for long 
hours will cause eye strain. Take regular 
breaks to rest your eyes.
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.
Caution regarding placing of the projector
 
Place the projector on a level site within the 
adjustment range (9 degrees) of the 
adjustment foot.
 
After the projector is purchased, a faint 
smell from the vent may appear when the 
power is first turned on. This is normal and 
is not a malfunction. It will disappear after 
the projector is used for a while.
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.
 
Use the projector at altitudes of 2,300 
meters (7,500 feet) or less.
Warning about placing the projector in 
a high position
 
When placing the projector in a high 
position, make certain it is carefully secure 
to avoid personal injury caused by the 
projector falling down.
Do not subject the projector to hard  
impact and/or vibration.
 
Protect the lens so as not to hit or damage 
the surface of the lens.
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°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).
Do not block the exhaust and intake 
vents.
 
Allow at least 11 
13
/
16
 inches (30 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 page
.) 
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.
