THE LAMP

WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE

Before replacing the lamp, check the serial number of the replacement lamp bulb (sold separately: 78-6969-9599-8), then contact your local dealer.

Removing the lamp bulb while it is still hot could cause burns, or cause the lamp bulb to burst.

WARNING

Before replacing the lamp, turn off the power, and unplug the power cord, then wait at least 45 minutes, in order to ensure that the lamp is properly cooled.

The LCD projector uses a glass lamp bulb. It is a mercury lamp with high

internal pressure. High-pressure mercury lamps can break with a loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, or through wear over time. Each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury to escape from the projector’s vent holes.

•

Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.

•

If the replace lamp indicator (see "Related Messages" ( ) and "Regarding the indicator Lamps" ( )) comes on, replace the lamp as soon as possible. Using the lamp for long periods of time, or past the replacement date, could cause it to burst. Do not use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.

•

If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens, contact your local dealer.

•

If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate the room well, and make sure not to breathe the gas that comes out of the projector vents, or get it in your eyes or mouth.

•

If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug the power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards of glass could damage the projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling, so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.

•

Obey local ordinances when disposing of used lamps. In most cases, it is possible to dispose of used bulbs in the same manner as used glass bottles, but in some cases, bulbs are sorted separately.

• Do not use the projector with the lamp door removed.

THE LAMP (continued)

Replacing the lamp

All projector lamps will wear out eventually. If used for long periods of time, the image could become darkened, and the color contrast could be impacted as well. We recommend that you replace your lamps early. If the lamp indicator turns red, or a message prompts you to replace the lamp when you power up the projector, the lamp needs to be replaced. (See "Related Messages" ( ) and "Regarding the Indicator Lamps" ( ) for details.)

Turn off the projector, and unplug the

power cord. Allow the lamp bulb to cool for at least 45 minutes, and prepare a new lamp (sold separately: 78-6969-9599-8).

After making sure that the projector has

cooled adequately, slowly flip over the projector, so that the bottom is facing up

• When the lamp has been replaced after the message of "CHANGE THE LAMP ...THE POWER

WILL TURN OFF AFTER 0 hr." is displayed, or the lamp indicator is red, complete the following operation within 10 minutes of switching power ON.

NOTE

Before replacing the lamp, switch power OFF, wait approximately 20 minutes, and switch power ON again. If the lamp indicator is still red, replace the lamp.

Make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.
