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 or and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used. 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.

Up Down • The projector is adjustable up to approximately 5° from the standard position. • When the height of the projector is adjusted, the image may become distorted (keystoned), depending on the relative positions of the projector and the screen. CAUTION • 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. 20 Adjusting the Projection Distance Setup & Connections Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an 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 polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector. Six optional lenses from Sharp are also available for specialised application. Please see your local Sharp Authorised LCD Projector Dealer for details on all the lenses.
