Should you accidentally inhale gas fumes or should gas fumes get into your eyes, immediately contact a physician.

● Broken lamp

Never attempt to replace a broken lamp on your own. The projector uses a mercury lamp with high internal pressure as its light source. Should the lamp break, be sure to contact your original dealer or authorized CASIO service center to request replacement. Attempting to replace a broken lamp on your own creates the risk of personal injury due to broken glass or dispersed mercury.

Other

Caution

Allowing dust to build up inside the projector for long periods without cleaning creates the risk of fire and breakdown. Contact your original dealer or authorized CASIO service center once a year about having the interior of the projector cleaned. Note that you will be charged for cleaning.

Lamp Handling Precautions

Continued use of a lamp that has passed its lamp life increases the risk of

Caution

z Never touch the glass of the lamp with your fingers. Doing so can damage the lamp and

shorten its life.

z The light source lamp is a consumable item. The average life of a lamp is approximately

2000 hours. After 2000 hours, a message appears to alert you to the need of lamp replacement. However, note that the characteristics of a particular lamp or lamp operating conditions can cause the lamp to start to go dim or even fail before the message appears.

z Lamps are guaranteed for 90 days from the date of purchase or for 500 hours operation,

whichever comes first.

z A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the light source. A lamp that is

weakened by impact, damage, or expiration of its lamp life may explode or fail to light if exposed to loud noise. Note that the performance of the lamp differs greatly from lamp to lamp, and due to conditions under which a lamp is used.

z The replacement message appears and the LAMP indicator flashes red after the lamp life is

reached. When this happens, replace the lamp using the instructions provided in this User’s Guide.

z If the lamp continues to be used after its lamp life is reached, after 100 hours the projector

will enter a cool down state and then go into standby. The projector will not turn on again until you replace the lamp.

Lamp Replacement Precautions

z When the lamp life is reached, the message “It is time to replace the lamp. Use the

procedure in the User’s Guide to replace the lamp as soon as possible.” appears on the display for about 10 seconds, and the LAMP indicator starts to flash red in one-second intervals. Replace the lamp as soon as possible after the message appears or the LAMP indicator flashes.

z Replace the lamp with a special YL-41 replacement lamp, which should be available from

your original dealer. Use only the lamp type that is specified for this projector.

z Turn off the projector. After the POWER/STANDBY indicator changes to steady (not flashing)

amber, unplug the projector from the power outlet. Next, wait for at least 60 minutes before removing the lamp. Note that the lamp cartridge becomes very hot during normal use and during standby. Handling it when hot creates the risk of burn injury.

z The lamp contains mercury. Dispose of old lamps in accordance with the rules and

regulations of your local jurisdiction.

z When replacing the lamp, use the special screwdriver that comes with the YL-41 replacement

z Never place a vase or any other container of water on

top of the projector.

● Never leave dead batteries inside the remote controller for a long time.

Batteries can leak, which leads to malfunction of and damage to the remote controller.

● Clean with a soft, dry cloth.

When very dirty, use a soft cloth that has been dampened in a weak solution of water and a mild neutral detergent. Wring all excess water from the cloth before wiping. Never use thinner, benzene, or any other volatile agent to clean the projector. Doing so can remove its markings and cause staining of the case.

● Missing Screen Dots

Though this projector is manufactured using the most advanced digital technology available today, some of the dots on the screen may be missing. This is normal, and does not indicate malfunction.

● Never subject the projector to strong impact while it is projecting.

If the projector is accidentally subjected to strong impact, the projection image will momentarily go blank. The image will reappear after some time, but it may be the wrong color or it may be accompanied by an error message. If the projected image is the wrong color, re-select the current input source. If this does not return the projected image to its proper color, use the procedure under “To turn off the projector” on page E-20 to turn projector power off and then back on again. If the image reappears with an error message, correct the problem in accordance with the indicator explanations in the “Troubleshooting” guide on page E-30.

● Keystone Correction and Image Quality

Performing keystone correction causes the image to be compressed before it is projected. This can result distortion of the image or a loss of image quality. If this happens, change orientation of the projector and/or screen so it conforms as much as possible to the illustration under “Setting Up the Projector” on page E-14. If image quality is the highest priority, turn off auto keystone correction and position the projector so it is pointed straight at the screen.
