SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
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
above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.
or
and of the same rating as
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.

Important Safeguards
ATTENTION: Please read all of these instructions before you operate your LCD Projector
for the first time. Save these instructions for future reference.
For your own protection and prolonged operation of your LCD Projector, be sure to read the following “Important
Safeguards” carefully, before use.
This projector has been engineered and manufactured to ensure your personal safety. But IMPROPER USE CAN
RESULT IN POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARDS. In order not to defeat the safeguards
incorporated into this LCD Projector, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.
1. Unplug the LCD Projector from the wall outlet before cleaning.
2. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
3. Do not use attachments not recommended by the LCD Projector manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
4. Do not use the LCD Projector near water; for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool, etc. Never spill liquid into the projector.
5. Do not place the LCD Projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The LCD Projector may fall, which may cause
serious injury to a child or an adult, and/or serious damage to the unit.
6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting—The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
7. LCD Projector equipment and cart combinations should be moved with care. Quick stops, exces-
sive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the equipment and cart combination to overturn.
8. Slots and openings in the cabinet back and bottom are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable
operation of the LCD Projector and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be covered with cloth or other material.
9. This LCD Projector should never be placed near or over a radiator or heating vent. The LCD Projector should not be
placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.
10. The LCD Projector should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the back of the projector or in the
specifications. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your LCD Projector dealer or local
power company.
11. Do not place the LCD Projector where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.
12. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD Projector.
13. To prevent damage to the projector due to lightning and power-line surges, unplug the projector from the power outlet,
when not in use.
14. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords with too many products, because this can result in fire or electric
shock.
15. Never push objects of any kind into the LCD Projector through the cabinet slots as they may touch high-voltage points
or cause a short circuit. This could result in a fire or electric shock.
16. Do not attempt to service the LCD Projector yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
17. Unplug the LCD Projector equipment from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the LCD Projector.
c. If the LCD Projector has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the LCD Projector does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as improper adjustment of other controls may cause
damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the LCD Projector to normal
operation.
e. If the LCD Projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the LCD Projector exhibits a distinct change in performance—this indicates a need for service.
18. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorised substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.

Usage Guidelines
Cautions Concerning the Laser Pointer
The laser pointer on the “Power” 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 two 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
ם 5°C and ם 40°C. • Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
CAUTION
• This product contains a low power laser device. To ensure continued safety, do not
remove any cover or attempt to gain access to the inside of the product. Refer all
serving to qualified personnel.
Laser pointer
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. 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.
ם 40˚C ם 5˚C 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.
Temperature Monitor Function
If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or a dirty air filter, “TEMP.”
and “ ” 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 36, for details.
• 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 “ ” will flash in the lower-left corner of the picture to advise you to
replace the lamp. At this point, take the projector to your nearest Sharp Authorised
LCD Projector Dealer or Service Centre to have the lamp replaced. 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 36, for details.

Setting Up the Projector and Screen
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve optimal image.
Move the projector forward or backward if the edges of the image are distorted.
• The projector lens should be centred in the middle of the screen. If the lens centre is not perpendicular to the screen, the
image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
• Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly onto the screen washes out colours,
making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.
• A polarising screen cannot be used with this projector.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size (see the table

This SHARP projector uses LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels. These
very sophisticated panels contain 786,432 pixels (
ן 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.

Guide to Effective Presentations
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 maximise 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,
utilise software such as Astound®, Freelance®, Persuasion® or
PowerPoint®.
30
25

15
10
5
• For high-end multimedia and interactive presentations, use software
0
such as Macromedia Director®.
• Astound®, Freelance®, Persuasion®, PowerPoint® and Macromedia
Director® are trademarks of their respective companies.
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 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.
Colour has a great effect on the audience during a
presentation. When used correctly and legibly, studies show
that background & foreground colours establish an emotional
tone for a presentation, help viewers understand and retain
information, and influence an audience to take a desired
course of action.
Colour Considerations
• Choose legible colours.
• Text and graphics colours need sufficient contrast.
• Use darker colours for the background since a lighter background
can create uncomfortable glare. (Yellow on black creates an ideal

Guide to Effective Presentations
• Background colours can subconsciously affect the
audience:
Red—increases viewers’ pulse and breathing and
encourages risk taking but can also be associated with
financial loss.
Red
Blue
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
colour.
Green—stimulates interaction.
Green
Black
Black—conveys finality and certainty. Use it as a transitional
colour between slides when moving from one idea to
another.
• Foreground colours create a major impact on how well an
audience understands and remembers a message.
• Use one or two bright colours for emphasis.
• Highlight important messages.
• The eye has a difficult time reading certain coloured text on
certain coloured backgrounds. For example, text and
background colours in red and green, and blue and black
make for difficult viewing.
• Colourblind individuals may find it difficult to distinguish
between red and green, brown and green, and purple and
blue. Avoid using these colours together.
Fonts
Presentation from SHARP
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 hard to read.
• 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 15 cm
ן 20 cm 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 1.2 meters-wide
screen at 3 meters, on a 2.3 meters-wide screen at 6.1
meters and a 3.7 meters-wide screen at 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 misspelled
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. Serifs 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
Good
Bad
Good
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.
Presentation from SHARP
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 1.8 meters above the floor.
Screen—The screen should always be in the centre 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, visualise yourself delivering an
outstanding presentation.
• Know your speech, memorising 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 emphasise
keypoints.
• Be sure to project your voice clearly and use eye
contact to maintain audience attention.
• Do not wait until half way 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.
