Lamp

Lamp

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 fl y 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 the US)
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.

• 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 suffi ciently. Handling the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well
as damaging the lamp.

• 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. 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 only the lamp of the specifi ed type.

• 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 "User's Manual - Operating Guide"), 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.
