Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please follow the precautions below.

Caution

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with alkaline or manganese batteries. Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the m and n marks inside the battery compartment. Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types. Do not mix new and old batteries. This may shorten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to leak. Remove the batteries from the remote control once they have run out, as leaving them in can cause them to leak. Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore ensure you wipe them first and then remove them using a cloth. The batteries included with this projector may run down in a short period, depending on how they are kept. Be sure to replace them as soon as possible with new batteries. Remove the batteries from the remote control if you will not be using the remote control for a long time. Comply with the rules (ordinance) of each local government when disposing of worn-out batteries.

Hg LAMP CONTAINS MERCURY For State Lamp Disposal Information U.S.A. ONLY www.lamprecycle.org or 1-800-BE-SHARP
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

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. 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 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.

Troubleshooting

Problem No picture and no sound or projector does not start. Check Projector power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet. Power to the external connected devices is off. The selected input mode is wrong. Cables are incorrectly connected to the projector. Remote control battery has run out. External output has not been set when connecting notebook computer. The lamp unit cover is not installed correctly. If the connected DVI digital equipment is turned on before the DVI-D input mode is selected on the projector, the image may not be projected properly or may not be displayed at all. Ensure that the appropriate input mode has been selected on the projector before you turn on the connected equipment. Cables are incorrectly connected to the projector. Bright is set to minimum position. Depending on the computer you are using, an image may not be projected unless the signal output setting of the computer is switched to the external output. Refer to the computers operation manual for how to switch its signal output settings. Page 21 51, 52 21
Sound is heard but no picture appears (or picture is dark). Image adjustments are incorrectly set. Make adjustments of Color and Tint in Picture Mode and lower the Bright Boost value. (Video Input only) Video input system is incorrectly set. Color is faded or poor. Adjust the focus. The projection distance exceeds the focus range. There is fog on the lens. If the projector is carried from a cold room into a warm room, or if it is suddenly heated, condensation may form on the surface of the lens and the image will become blurred. Set up the projector at least one hour before it is to be used. If condensation should form, remove the power cord from the wall outlet and wait for it to clear. (Computer Input only) Perform Fine Sync Adjustments (Clock Adjustment) Perform Fine Sync Adjustments (Phase Adjustment) Noise may appear depending on the computer. Cables are incorrectly connected to the projector. Volume is set to minimum. When the projector is connected to an external device and the volume is set to minimum, the sound is not output even if you turn up the volume of the external device. Picture appears but no sound is heard. An unusual sound is occasionally heard from the cabinet. Speaker is set to Off. 40
Picture is blurred; noise appears.
