This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
The cooling fan in this projector continues to run for about 90 seconds after the projector is turned off. During normal operation, when turning the power off always use the POWER button on the projector or on the remote control. Ensure the cooling fan has stopped before disconnecting the power cord. DURING NORMAL OPERATION, NEVER TURN THE PROJECTOR OFF BY DISCONNECTING THE POWER CORD. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS WILL RESULT IN PREMATURE LAMP FAILURE.

PRODUCT DISPOSAL

This projector utilizes tin-lead solder, and a pressurized lamp containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or, if you are located in the United States of America, the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (cont.)
Be sure to read the following safeguards when setting up your projector.
Caution concerning the lamp unit
I Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp ruptures. In case of lamp rupture, contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center for a replacement. See Replacing the Lamp on page 71. I Be sure that the intake vent and the exhaust vent are not obstructed. I If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection circuit will automatically turn off the projector. This does not indicate a malfunction. Remove the projector power cord from the wall outlet and wait more than 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 PRECAUCI N PR CAUTION

BQC-PGM20X//1

Cautions concerning the setup of the projector
I 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 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.
Cautions regarding the transportation of the projector
I When transporting the projector, be sure not to subject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in damage. Take extra caution with the lens. Before moving the projector, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables connected to it.
Do not set up the projector in places exposed to direct sunlight or bright light.
I 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.
Other connected equipment
I When connecting a computer or other audio-visual equipment to the projector, make the connections AFTER turning off the projector and the equipment to be connected. I Please read the operation manuals of the projector and the equipment to be connected for instructions on how to make the connections.
Tilt the projector so that it does not go over an angle of 10 degrees when setting it.
I The placement range (the horizontal angle) should be within 10 degrees.
Using the projector in other Countries
I 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, be sure to use the appropriate power cord for the country you are in.

Caution

Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the and marks inside the battery compartment. Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types. Do not mix new and old batteries. This may shorten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to leak. Remove the batteries from the remote control once they have run out, as leaving them can cause them to leak. Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to your skin, therefore be sure to first wipe them and then remove them using a cloth.

Foot releases

Adjustment feet
Using the Adjustment Feet
The height of the projector can be adjusted using the adjustment feet when the surface of the projector is placed on is uneven or when the screen is slanted. The projection of the image can be made higher by adjusting the projector when it is in a location lower than the screen.

Press the foot releases.

Lift the projector to adjust its height and remove your hands from the foot releases. Rotate the adjustment feet to make minor changes.
When returning the projector to its original position, hold the projector firmly, press the foot releases and then lower it. The projector is adjustable up to approximately 5.5 degrees from the standard position.
Do not press the foot releases when the feet are extended without firmly holding the projector. Do not hold the lens when lifting or lowering the projector. When lowering the projector, be careful not to get your fingers caught in the area between the adjustment feet and the projector.

Setting up the Screen

Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.
The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult. For optimal image, 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. A polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
I Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (See page 18.)
Example of Standard Setup

Side View

The distance from the screen to the projec-
tor may vary depending on the size of the screen. P.18

The default setting can be used, when placAudience
ing the projector in front of the screen. If the projected image is reversed or inverted, readjust the setting to Front in PRJ Mode. P.60
Place the projector so that the horizontal line

Caution Concerning the Lamp
I This projector utilizes a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp failure can be attributed to numerous sources such as: excessive shock, improper cooling, surface scratches or deterioration of the lamp due to a lapse of usage time. The period of time up to failure largely varies depending on the individual lamp and/or the condition and the frequency of use. It is important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking. I When the LAMP REPLACEMENT indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated or flash, it is recommended that the lamp be replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating normally. I Should the lamp break, the glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage or gas contained in the lamp may be vented into the room from the exhaust vent. Because the gas in this lamp includes mercury, ventilate the room well if the lamp breaks and avoid all exposure to the released gas. In case of exposure to the gas, consult with a doctor as soon as possible. I Should the lamp break, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside of the projector. In such a case, it is recommended you contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center to remove the damaged lamp and assure safe operation.
