XP-62ZL	4.00 (Tele)	2.11	0.56	0.35

The throw ratio is calculated as follows: Throw ratio = L: Throw distance (m) / W: Screen width (m).

By providing a precautionary zone or physical barriers, it is possible to prevent human eyes from entering the hazard zone.

When the manager of the projector (operator) cannot prevent spectators from entering the hazard zone such as in public facilities, it is recommended to secure a space of 1 m or more from the hazard zone as “the precautionary zone” for the safety of the spectators.

When installing the projector overhead, it is recommended that the distance between the floor and the hazard zone be at least 3 m in the vertical direction.

In the United States, provide a horizontal distance of 2.5 meters from the hazard zone. When install the projector overhead, provide a vertical distance of 3 meters from the floor to the hazard zone.

The installer or dealer must instruct the manager (operator) of the SHARP XP-X141Q-B projector of the following:

• Educate the manager of the projector (operator) about safety before operating the projector.
• Instruct the manager of the projector (operator) to perform inspections (Including safety checks on light emitted by the projector) before powering the projector on.
• Instruct the manager of the projector (operator) to be able to control the projector whenever the projector is powered on in case of an emergency.
• Instruct the manager of the projector (operator) to keep the installation Manual, user’s manual and inspection records in an easy-to-reach place.
• Instruct them to determine whether the projector conforms to the standards of each country and region.

Notes on installation and maintenance for the SHARP XP-X141Q-B:

• Do not install or store in such places as those described below.
• Locations that amplify vibrations and impacts. If installed in places where the vibrations from power sources and the like are conveyed, or in vehicles or on vessels, etc. the projector could be affected by vibrations or shocks that may damage internal parts and lead to malfunction.
• Close to high voltage power lines and power sources. It could disrupt the unit.
• Places where strong magnetic fields are generated. Doing so could lead to malfunction.
• Outdoors and places with humid or dust.
• Places exposed to oil smoke or steam.
• Places where corrosive gases are generated. Attached substances such as oil, chemicals and moisture may cause deformation or cracks of the cabinet, corrosion of the metal parts, or malfunction.

To the dealer and the installer:

1. To prevent the projector from falling, install it on the ceiling in a way with sufficient strength to withstand the combined weight of the projector and the ceiling mount unit for an extended period of time.

2. When installing the projector on the ceiling, be sure to do so correctly in accordance with the installation Manual for the Ceiling Mount Unit. Be sure to use the fixed metal fittings and to tighten the screws securely.

3. To prevent the projector from falling, use fall prevention wires.

• Use commercially available metal fittings to join the robust part of a building or construction and the security bar of the projector with the fall prevention wires.
• Use commercially available metal fittings and fall prevention wires that have sufficient strength to withstand the combined weight of the projector and the ceiling mount unit.
• Slightly slack off the fall prevention wires so as not to put a load on the projector.

Personally identifiable information, such as IP addresses, may be saved on the projector. Before transferring or disposing of the projector, clear this data by performing [RESET] on the on-screen menu. For items that cannot be reset, please clear them individually.

Cautions for ensuring the projector’s performance for the SHARP XP-X141Q-B:

• If intense light like laser beams enters from the lens, it could lead to malfunction.
• Consult your dealer before using in places where much cigarette smoke or dust is present.
• When the projector is used at high altitudes (places where the atmospheric pressure is low), it may be necessary to replace the optical parts sooner than usual.

About moving the projector:

• Detach the lens unit once, and be sure to attach the lens cap so as not to scratch the lens. Also, attach a dust protective cap to the projector.
• Do not subject the projector to vibrations or strong shocks. The projector could be damaged otherwise.
• Do not use the tilt feet for purposes other than adjusting the projector’s tilt. Improper handling, such as carrying the projector by the tilt feet or using it leaned against a wall, could lead to malfunction.

About touching the lens surface:

• Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with bare hands. Fingerprints or dirt on the surface of the projection lens will be enlarged and projected on the screen. Do not touch the surface of the projection lens.

About power cord:

• Do not unplug the power cord from the projector or the power outlet while projecting. Doing so could cause deterioration of the projector’s AC IN terminal or power plug contact. To interrupt the AC power supply while images are being projected, use a breaker, etc.

About handling of the remote control:

• The remote control will not work if the projector’s remote signal sensor or the remote control’s signal transmitter is exposed to strong light or if there are obstacles between them that obstruct the signals.
• Operate the remote control from within 7 meters from the projector, pointing it at the projector’s remote signal sensor.
• Do not drop the remote control or handle it improperly.
• Do not let water or other liquids get on the remote control. Should the remote control get wet, wipe it off immediately.
• Avoid using in hot and humid places as far as possible.

About screens:

• Take measures to prevent external light from shining on the screen. Make sure only the light from the projector shines on the screen. The less external light on the screen, the higher the contrast and the more beautiful the images. Images will not be clear if there is dirt, scratches, discoloration, etc. on your screen. Handle the screen with care, protecting it from volatile substances, scratches and dirt.

Concerning to all maintenance operations, refer to Installation Manual and follow all instructions properly.

When installing the projector, keep sufficient space around it, as described below. If not, the hot exhaust emitted from the projector may be taken back in. Also, make sure no wind from an air-conditioner hits the projector. The projector’s heat control system may detect an abnormality (temperature error) and automatically shut off the power.

The required clearances are:

• Intake vent (a): No specific dimension given, but assumes sufficient space above.
• Exhaust vent (b): No specific dimension given, but assumes sufficient space above.
• Clearance (c): 30 cm/12″ or greater.
• Clearance (d): 50 cm/20″ or greater.

When using multiple projectors together for multi-screen projection, provide sufficient space around the projectors for air intake and exhaust. When the intake and exhaust vents are obstructed, the temperature inside the projector will rise and this may result in a malfunction.
