AN-XR10L2 lamp replacement and time  

Replacing the Lamp

Warning!

• Do not remove the AN-XR10L2  lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp and parts around

the lamp will be very hot and may cause burns

or injury

• Make sure that you remove the AN-XR10L2 lamp unit by

the handle. Do not touch the glass surface of

the lamp unit or the inside of the projector.

• To avoid injury to yourself and damage to the

lamp, make sure you carefully follow the steps

below.

• Do not loosen other screws except for the

lamp unit cover and lamp unit.

This projector utilizes a pressurized mercury AN-XR10L2 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
