INSTRUCTIONS

LAMP REPLACEMENT

The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp which can explode with a loud

bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched or handled while hot, or wear out over time. If the lamp should
explode, immediately disconnect all power sources to the projector. Ventilate the room well, and make sure
not to breathe the gas that comes out of the projector vents. Avoid contact with eyes and mouth.

Do not use an old (used) lamp as this may cause it to explode.

Do Not operate a projector while any lamp is removed. This may result in malfunctions, fire

hazard, or other accidents.

When replacing a lamp that has burnt out, wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool

sufficiently. Handling the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the lamp. Shards of glass
may damage internal projector components or cause injury during handling.

Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.

Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from above. This is

dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will fall out when the cover is opened.

NOTICES: 1) Use only the lamp of the specified type. 2) A lamp that explodes soon after first use, may be
experiencing electrical problems other than the lamp itself. If this occurs, contact your local dealer or a
service representative. 3) Overuse of a lamp can cause the picture to darken, not to light up or to explode.
When the pictures appears dark, or when the color tone is poor, replace the lamp as soon as possible.
