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.
