-59 Appendix Power indicator Lamp indicator Temperature warning indicator Maintenance Indicators Maintenance Indicators ■The warning lights on the projector indicate problems inside the projector. ■If a problem occurs, either the temperature indicator or the lamp indicator will illuminate red, and the projector will enter the standby mode. After the projector has entered the standby mode, follow the procedures given below. About the temperature warning indicator If the temperature inside the projector increases, due to blockage of the air vents, or the setting location, “ ” will illuminate in the lower left corner of the picture. If the temperature keeps on rising, the lamp will turn off and the temperature warning indicator will blink, the cooling fan will run for a further 90 seconds, and then the projector will enter the standby mode. After “ ” appears, ensure you perform the measures described on page 60. About the lamp indicator ■When the remaining lamp life becomes 5% or less, “” (yellow) and “Change The Lamp.” will be displayed on the screen. When the percentage becomes 0%, it will change to “ ” (red), the lamp will automatically turn off and then the projector will automatically enter the standby mode. At this time, the lamp indicator will illuminate in red. ■ If you try to turn on the projector a fourth time without replacing the lamp, the projector will not turn on.

Wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plugging in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 10 minutes.) • If the power is turned off for a brief moment due to power outage or some other cause while using the projector, and the power supply recovers immediately after that, the lamp indicator will illuminate in red and the lamp may not be lit. In this case, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, replace the power cord in the AC outlet and then turn the power on again. • The cooling fan keeps the internal temperature of the projector constant\ and this function is controlled automatically. The sound of the cooling fan may change during operation because the fan speed may change and this is not a malfunction. The lamp does not illuminate. • The lamp is shut down abnormally. • Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet, and then connect it again. Power indicator Green on/ Red on Green blinks (Cooling) Red blinks The power indicator blinks in red when the projector is on. • If the power indicator blinks even when the covers are securely installed, or if the cooling fan does not run normally, then contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center (see page 68) for advice. • The filter cover, lamp unit cover or lens housing cover is open. • Cooling fan break- down Maintenance Indicators
-61 Appendix Lamp ■It is recommended that the lamp unit (optional: AN-C430LP) be replaced when the remaining lamp life becomes 5% or less, or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and color quality. The lamp life (percentage) can be checked with the on-screen display. See page 53. ■Purchase a replacement lamp unit of type AN-C430LP from your place of purchase, nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center. 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 a Sharp Autho- rized Projector Dealer or Service Center.

Hg LAMP CONTAINS MERCURY For State Lamp Disposal Information 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, 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 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. Replacing the Lamp Caution •Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may cause 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. ■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 illuminate after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair.

-65 Appendix Note •This projector may not be able to display images from notebook computers in simultaneous (CRT/LCD) mode. Should this occur, turn off the LCD display on the notebook computer and output the display data in “CRT only” mode. Details on how to change display modes can be found in your notebook computer’s operation manual. • When this projector receives 640 × 350 VESA format VGA signals, “640 × 400” appears on the screen. • When projecting the RGB interlace signal using COMPUTER/COMPONENT 1, 2 or DVI-D with “Signal Type” set to “Auto” or “RGB”, the image may not be projected as desired. In this case, use either Video or S-Video. • Depending on the computer you are using, the output signal may not be faithful to the “Screen resolution” adjustment. Check the settings of the computer’s signal output. If the settings cannot be changed, it is recom- mended that the resolution be set to the one that corresponds to “ 1280 × 800”.

Ensure that the appropriate input mode has been selected on the projector before you turn on the connected equipment. •Cables incorrectly connected to the rear panel of 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 computer’s operation manual for how to switch its signal output settings. • Image adjustments are incorrectly set. (Video, S-Video Input only) • Video input system is incorrectly set. (COMPUTER/COMPONENT 1, 2, DVI-D only) • Input signal type (RGB/Component) is incorrectly set. •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. Please 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 “SIG-ADJ” Adjustments. (“Clock” Adjustment) • Perform “SIG-ADJ” Adjustments. (“Phase” Adjustment) • Noise may appear depending on the computer. •Cables incorrectly connected to the rear panel of 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. • “Speaker” is set to “Off ”. •Make the necessary adjustments of each item in the “SIG-ADJ” menu. • Depending on the computer you are using, the output resolution signal may be different from the one you have set.
