Lamp
The Lamp has a finite operating life.
1.
When the lamp is nearly burned out, the picture and color quality deteriorate. At this point, replace the lamp.
(See E-25.) 
2.
If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Authorized Sharp Industrial
LCD Products Dealer for repair.
• Intense light hazard. Do not attempt to look into the aperture and lens while the projector is operating.
Maintenance Indicators
• The warning lights on the projector indicate problems inside the projector.
• There are two warning lights–a TEMPERATURE indicator which warns that the projector is too hot, and a
LAMP replacement indicator which lets you know when to change the bulb.
• If a problem occurs, either the TEMPERATURE indicator or the LAMP replacement indicator will light up red,
and the power will shut off. After turning off the power, follow the procedures given below.
Notes:
• If the TEMPERATURE indicator light comes on, after servicing, please wait until the projector has cooled down completely
before turning the power back on. (At least 5 minutes.)
• When the power is turned off and then turned on again, as during a brief rest, the LAMP replacement indicator may be
triggered, preventing the power from going on. When this happens, take the power plug out of the AC outlet and put it back
in again.

Our projector uses an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel.
This very sophisticated panel contains 480,000 pixels. (RGB
Trio) TFTs (Thin Film Transistors). As with any high technology
electronic equipment such as large screen TVs, video
systems and/or video cameras, there are certain acceptable
tolerances that the equipment must conform to.
Sharp’s acceptable tolerances permit a total of 35 inactiveTFTs, which may result in illuminated or inactive dots on the
picture screen.
This will not affect the picture quality or the life expectancy of
the unit. If you have any questions about this matter, please
call toll free 1-800-BE-SHARP (1-800-237-4277).
