Cleaning the lens

Use a commercially available blower or lens
cleaning paper (for glasses and camera lenses)
for cleaning the lens. Do not use any liquid type
cleaning agents, as they may wear off the coat-
ing film on the surface of the lens.

As the surface of the lens can easily get dam-
aged, be sure not to scrape or hit the lens.
Cleaning the exhaust and intake vents

Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the
exhaust vent and the intake vent.
Maintenance
Cleaning the projector

Be sure to unplug the power cord before clean-
ing the projector.

The cabinet as well as the operation panel is
made of plastic. Avoid using benzene or thinner,
as these can damage the finish on the cabinet.

Do not use volatile agents such as insecticides
on the projector.
Do not attach rubber or plastic items on the pro-
jector for long time.
    The effects of some of the agents in the plastic
may cause damage to the quality or finish of the
projector.

Wipe off dirt gently with a soft flannel cloth.

When the dirt is hard to remove, soak a cloth in a
neutral detergent diluted with water, wring the
cloth well and then wipe the projector.
Strong cleaning detergents may discolor, warp
or damage the coating on the projector.
Make sure to test on a small, inconspicuous area
on the projector before using.

Maintenance Indicators

The warning lights on the projector indicate problems inside the projector.

If a problem occurs, either the temperature warning indicator or the lamp replacement indicator will
illuminate red, and the power will turn off. After the power has been turned off, follow the proce-
dures given below.
About the temperature warning indicator
If the temperature inside the pro-
jector increases, due to blockage
of the air vents, or the setting lo-
cation, “
” will blink in the
lower left corner of the picture. If
the temperature keeps on rising,
the lamp will turn off and the tem-
perature warning indicator will
blink, the cooling fan will run for
further 90 seconds, then the power
will be shut off. After “
” ap-
pears, be sure to perform the fol-
lowing measures.
About the lamp replacement indicator

When the lamp ex-
ceeds 1,900 cumula-
tive hours of use,
“
” will be displayed on the screen in
yellow. When the cumulative hours of use
reach 2,000, “
” will change to red, the
lamp will automatically turn off and then
the projector as well. At this time, the
LAMP REPLACEMENT indicator will il-
luminate in red.

If you try to turn on the projector a fourth
time without replacing the lamp, the pro-
jector will not turn on.

Lamp

It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced after approximately 1,900 cumulative
hours of use or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and color quality. The lamp
usage time can be checked with “Lamp Timer” in the “Options” menu on the menu screen.

For lamp replacement, please consult your nearest Authorized SharpVision Service Center or Dealer.

The actual lamp service life may be less than 2,000 hours depending on the environment in which
the projector is used.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO U.S. CUSTOMERS:
The lamp included with this projector is backed by a 90-day parts and labor limited warranty. All service
of this projector under warranty, including lamp replacement, must be obtained through an Authorized
SharpVision Service Center or Dealer. For the name of the nearest Authorized SharpVision Service

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 or flash, it is rec-
ommended that the lamp be replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be
operating normally.

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 with a doctor as soon as possible.

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 Authorized SharpVision
Service Center or Dealer to remove the damaged lamp and assure safe operation.
Replacing the Lamp
Caution
•Do not remove the lamp unit immediately after operation of the projector. The lamp will be hot and touching
it can lead to burn 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.

If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Authorized
SharpVision Service Center or Dealer for repair. Purchase a replacement lamp unit of type BQC-
XVZ100001 from your nearest Authorized SharpVision Service Center or Dealer. Then carefully change
the lamp by following the instructions described in this section. If you wish, you may have the lamp
replaced at your nearest Authorized SharpVision Service Center or Dealer.
