AN-P610LP lamp replacement and time

Caution Concerning the AN-P610LP 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 AN-P610LP 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 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, 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.

■Should the AN-P610LP 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.
