Maintenance
Cleaning the projectorEnsure that you have unplugged the power 
cord before cleaning the projector.
The cabinet as well as the operation panel is 
made of plastic. Avoid using benzene or 
thinner, as these can damage the fi nish on 
the cabinet.
Do not use volatile agents such as 
insecticides on the projector.
Do not attach rubber or plastic items to the 
projector for long periods.
The effects of some of the agents in the 
plastic may cause damage to the quality or 
fi nish of the projector.
Wipe off dirt gently with a soft fl annel cloth.
When the dirt is hard to remove, soak a cloth 
in a mild detergent diluted with water, wring 
the cloth well and then wipe the projector.

Info
If the temperature warning indicator illuminates, and the projector enters standby mode, follow the 
possible solutions above and then wait until the projector has cooled down completely before 
plugging in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 10 minutes.)
If the power is turned off for a brief moment due to power outage or some other cause while using 
the projector, and the power supply recovers immediately after that, the lamp indicator will illuminate 
in red and the lamp may not be lit. In this case, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, replace 
the power cord in the AC outlet and then turn the power on again.
The cooling fan keeps the internal temperature of the projector constant and this function is 
controlled automatically. The sound of the cooling fan may change during operation because the fan 
speed may change and this is not a malfunction.

                     U.S.A ONLY
Caution Concerning the Lamp
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.
Replacing the Lamp
Caution
Do not use any glass cleaner to clean the lens.
Avoid touching the lens with your hands to prevent fi ngerprints on or damage to the lens surface.
Carefully change the lamp by following the instructions described in this section. * If you 
wish, you may have the lamp replaced at your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or 
Ser vice Center.
*  If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized Projector 
Dealer or Ser vice Center for repair.
