Lamp

WARNING

The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with a
loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time.

Note that 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.

About disposal of a lamp • This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put in trash.
Dispose of in accord with environmental laws.
For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org. (in USA)
For product disposal, contact your local government agency or www.eiae.org (in the
US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada).
For more information, call your dealer.

• 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.

Disconnect the

plug from the

power outlet

• 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.

• Before replacing the lamp, make sure the power switch is off and the
power cable is not plugged in, then 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.

HIGH VOLTAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE

• 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. In addition, working in high places is
dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have the lamp replaced even if the
bulb is not broken.

• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp
replacing, make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws
could result in damage or injury.

• Use the lamp of the specified type only.

• 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 or a service representative.

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

• If the indicators or a message prompts you to replace the lamp (see the
section “Related Messages” and “Regarding the indicator Lamps”),
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.
