Caution Concerning Lamp Replacement
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.
When the lamp replacement indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated, it is recommended that the lamp be
replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating normally.
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 assure safe operation.
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 a doctor as soon as possible.
Caution
• Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may cause burns or
injury.
• Wait at least one hour after the power cord is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to fully cool before
removing the lamp unit.
• Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp unit or the inside of the projector.
• Do not loosen other screws except for the lamp unit cover and lamp unit.
• Make sure to reset the lamp timer only when replacing the lamp. If you reset the lamp timer and continue to use
the same lamp, this may cause the lamp to become damaged or explode.
Carefully change the lamp by following the instructions described on pages 62 to 64.
* If you wish, you may have the lamp replaced at your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service
Center.
* If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized Projector
Dealer or Service Center for repair.
