Lamp

The lamp in this projector operates for approximately 1,500 cumulative hours, depending on the usage environment.

It is recommended that the AN-P25LP lamp be replaced after 1,400 cumulative hours of use or when you notice a

significant deterioration of the picture and color quality. The lamp usage time can be checked with the On-screen

Display.

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 is illuminated or flashes, 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, 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 AN-P25LP 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 LCD Projector Dealer or Service Center

to remove the damaged lamp and assure safe operation.
