Cautions Concerning the Laser Pointer

CAUTION

TEL : 1-800-BE-SHARP

U.S.A. ONLY

The laser pointer on the remote control emits a laser

beam from the laser light window. This is a Class II

laser which may impair your sight if directed into the

eyes. The three marks shown on the right are caution

labels for the laser beam.

AVOID EXPOSURE

-LASER

RADIATION IS EMITTED

FROM THIS APERTURE.

• Do not look into the laser light 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°F and 104°F (

5°C and

40°C).

• Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of proce-

dures other than those specified herein may result in haz-

ardous radiation exposure.

Laser light window

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.

• Do not expose the projector 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 not tilt the projector at an angle greater than 5°.

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 in-

dicate 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.” will flash in the upper-

TEMP.

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 29, when “TEMP.” appears on the screen.

• 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, the LAMP REPLACEMENT

LAMP

indicator will light red and “LAMP” will flash in yellow on the screen to advise you to replace the lamp. See

pages 30 and 31 for replacing the lamp. 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 Indica-

tors” on page 29, when “LAMP” appears on the screen.

Remote Control Handling Precaution

• Do not expose the remote control to shocks, liquids or high humidity. The remote control may not operate normally if

exposed to direct sunlight or other intense light sources. Should this occur, reposition the light source or the projector.

• When not using the remote control, turn off the Main Power switch to avoid draining the batteries.

If the lens center is not perpendicular

to the screen, the image will be dis-

torted, making viewing difficult.

CAUTION

• When using a mirror, be sure to carefully position both the projector and the mirror so the light does not shine into the eyes

of the audience.

Example of a ceiling-mount setup

• Ceiling-mount is possible when using the optional ceiling-mount bracket.

• Before mounting the projector, be sure to contact your nearest Authorized Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Ser-

vice Center to obtain the manufacturer recommended ceiling mount bracket (sold separately). (AN-XGCM50 Ceiling

Lamp/Maintenance Indicators

Lamp

The lamp in this projector operates for approximately 2,000 cumulative hours, depending on the usage environ-

ment. When the lamp has been used for 1,900 hours, the LAMP REPLACEMENT indicator will light red and

“LAMP” will flash in yellow on the screen. It is recommended that the lamp be replaced after 1,900 cumulative

hours of use or when you notice a significant deterioration of the picture and color quality.

If the lamp has been used for 2,000 hours, the projector power will automatically turn off and the projector will

enter standby mode. If you turn on the power after the lamp has been used for 2,000 hours, “LAMP” will flash in

red on the screen and the power will turn off. See pages 30 and 31 for replacing the lamp. The lamp usage time

can be checked with the On-screen Display (see page 19).

• As the usage environment can vary significantly, the projector lamp may not operate for 2,000 hours.

CAUTION

• Intense light hazard. Do not attempt to look into the aperture and lens while the projector is operating.

• The warning lights on the projector indicate problems inside the pro-

jector.

Maintenance Indicators

• There are two warning lights: a TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator

which warns that the projector is too hot, and a LAMP REPLACE-

MENT indicator which lets you know when to change the lamp.

• If a problem occurs, either the TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator

or the LAMP REPLACEMENT indicator will light up red, and the

power will shut off. After turning off the power, follow the procedures

given below.

• Due to the native pixel resolution of the LCD panels (804

604), this projector will not display Mac 832

624 resolu-

tion images full screen.

• When connecting a notebook computer to the projector for display on an (800

600) LCD screen, the screen may not

show a full picture image. See page 17, “Computer Mode Memory Adjustments” for details.

• This projector may not be able to display images from notebook computers in simultaneous (CRT/LCD) mode. Should

this occur, turn off the LCD display on the notebook computer and output the display data in “CRT only” mode. Details

on how to change display modes can be found in your notebook computer’s operation manual.

This SHARP projector uses LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels.

These very sophisticated panels contain 485,616 pixels (

RGB)

TFTs (Thin Film Transistors).

This will not affect the picture quality or the life expectancy of the

unit.

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.

If you have any questions about this matter, please call toll free

1-800-BE-SHARP (1-800-237-4277). U.S.A. ONLY
