The lamp is fragile, and can easily break. If the lamp

breaks, handle the projector with extreme care to

avoid injury from broken glass, and contact your

dealer or the nearest address provided on page 66 for

repairs.

Particular care should be taken when the projector is

installed to a ceiling, as small pieces of glass may fall

down when the lamp cover is removed. Be very

careful not to allow such pieces of glass to get into

the eyes or mouth.

• Material or paper may get stuck against the air filter

underneath the projector while it is in use. Remove

anything from underneath the projector that might

get stuck against the air filter in this way.

• Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use.

Doing so will result in serious burns. Before

removing the lamp, turn off the power supply and

wait the time specified on page 58 to allow the lamp

to cool completely.

• A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used

as the projector's light source. Mercury lamps may

make a loud noise when they break. Handle the lamp

with extreme care while observing the following.

If the following points are not observed, injury or

poisoning may result.

− Do not damage the lamp or subject it to any

impacts.

− Do not use the lamp after the lamp replacement

period has elapsed. Once the lamp replacement

period has elapsed, the possibility of the lamp

breaking becomes greater. When the lamp

replacement message appears, replace the lamp

with a new one as soon as possible.

− The gases inside mercury lamps contain mercury

vapor. If the lamp breaks, immediately ventilate

the room to prevent the gases that are released

when the lamp breaks from being inhaled or

coming into contact with the eyes or mouth.

− Do not bring your face close to the projector while

it is in use, in order to prevent the gases that are

released when the lamp breaks from being inhaled

or coming into contact with the eyes or mouth.

− If the lamp breaks and needs to be replaced with a

new lamp, contact the place of purchase or the

nearest address provided on page 66 to carry out

the replacement. If the lamp breaks, pieces of

broken glass may get scattered around inside the

projector.

− Particular care should be taken when the projector

is installed to a ceiling, as small pieces of glass

may fall down when the lamp cover is removed. If

cleaning the projector or replacing the lamp

yourself, be very careful not to allow such pieces

of glass to get into the eyes or mouth.

If the lamp breaks and gas from the lamp or

fragments of broken glass are inhaled or get into

the eyes or mouth, or if any other ill effects are

noticed, immediately seek medical advice.

In addition, consult your local regulations

regarding proper disposal and do not place in the

trash.

• If there is an electrical storm, do not touch the power

plug, otherwise you may receive an electric shock.

• Clean the inside of the projector periodically.

If the inside of the projector has not been cleaned for

a long time, dust may build up and cause fire or

electric shocks. Contact your dealer or the nearest

address provided on page 66 to clean inside the

projector at least once a year. A charge will be levied

for this service.

• If using a remote control that takes batteries, keep

these batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries

are choking hazards and can be very dangerous if

swallowed.

If the batteries are swallowed, seek medical

assistance immediately.

• When replacing batteries, take the following

precautions.

− Replace the batteries as soon as they run out.

− If the batteries leak, wipe away battery fluid with a

soft cloth. If fluid gets on your hands, wash

immediately.

− Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

− Dispose of used batteries according to local

regulations.

− Remove the batteries if you won't be using the

projector for a long period of time.

• Do not stand on the projector or place heavy objects

on it.

Condensation

If you move this unit from a cold place into a warm

room, or, if the room in which this unit is installed is

heated rapidly, condensation (moisture) may form

internally or on the lens surface.If condensation forms,

it may not only cause incorrect operation such as

weakening of the image, but also damage the disc and/

or parts.In order to prevent against condensation, setup

this unit in the room approximately one hour before it is

to be used.If by some chance condensation does form,

turn on the main power switch then wait one to two

hours before use. Do not use the lamp during this time.

Lamp

This machine uses a mercury lamp with a high internal

pressure as its light source.Mercury lamps have the

following characteristics.

• Lamp brightness decreases once the rated lamp usage

time has passed.

• When the lamp reaches the end of its life, it may enter

a state where it will no longer light, or it may explode

with a loud noise due to impact, deterioration, or the

expiration of its usage time.

• Depending on the individual difference of each lamp

and the conditions of use, there is a considerable

difference in the time it takes for the lamp to reach the

end of its life.

To provide against contingencies, prepare a

replacement lamp in advance.

• The potential for the lamp to explode increases once

the lamp usage time has been exceeded.

When the lamp replacement message appears,

promptly replace the lamp with a new one.

LCD panel

• Although the liquid crystal panel is made using very

precise high technology, you may see some black

pixels, or pixels that are always lit red, blue, or

green.You may also be able to see lines with irregular

brightness or color.

These are normal characteristics of liquid crystal

panels, and are not indicative of any malfunction.Be

aware of this fact.

• Do not leave this unit projecting a still image over a

long period of time.

It is possible that remnants of the image may remain

(screen burn). You may be able to avoid screen burn

by switching off the power and leaving the projector

for a while.If the screen burn does not disappear, contact your dealer for advice. sp. 66
