Lamp
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE
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. |
|
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate |
Disconnect |
the room well, and make sure not to breathe the gas that comes out of the |
the plug from |
projector vents, or get it in your eyes or mouth. |
the power |
|
outlet |
• 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. |
|
|
|
• 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. |
|
• Using the lamp for long periods of time, could cause it dark, not to light up |
|
or to burst. When the pictures appear dark, or when the color tone is poor, |
|
please replace the lamp as soon as possible. Do not use old (used) lamps; |
|
this is a cause of breakage. |

CAUTION ► Avoid smoky, humid and dusty places (e.g. near a humidifier, a smoking area, a kitchen etc.) Placing the projector in such a place could cause fire, electric shock and/or projector malfunction.
►Adjust the position of the projector so that light does not shine directly on the projector's remote sensor.
►The manufacturer strongly recommends avoiding any magnetic contact that is not shielded or protected on or near the projector itself. (e.g. Magnetic Security Devices, or other projector accessories that contain magnetic material that has not been provided by the manufacture etc.) Magnetic objects may cause interruption of the projector's internal mechanisms which may interfere with cooling fan speed or cause the fans to stop, and may cause the projector to shut down completely.

Preparations
Adjusting the projector’s elevation
The elevator feet can be used to make adjustments if the surface on which the projector is set is uneven or if the projection angle needs to be otherwise adjusted. The adjustment range of the elevator feet is 0 to 7 degrees.
1. Press and hold in the elevator buttons while holding the projector.
There are elevator buttons and feet |
7° |
|
on the both sides of the projector. |
||
|
||
Raise or lower the projector to the |
|
|
2. desired height and release the |
|
|
elevator buttons. When the elevator |
|
|
buttons are released, the elevator |
|
|
feet will lock into position. |
|
|
If necessary, the elevator feet can |
|
|
3. be manually twisted to make more |
|
|
precise adjustments. |
|
WARNING ► Do not adjust the elevation of the projector during or immediately after use. Handling while the projector is hot could cause burn and/or projector malfunction. Before adjusting the elevation, make sure that the power switch is off, that the power cord is unplugged, and that the projector is adequately cool.
CAUTION ► Using the elevator buttons without holding the projector could cause the projector to fall, overturn, or strike your fingers and possibly cause projector malfunction. To prevent damaging the projector and injuring yourself, always hold the projector whenever using the elevator buttons to adjust the elevator feet.
►Do not tilt the projector to the right or left. Also be sure not to raise the front or rear of the projector more than 7 degrees. Raising the projector more than 7 degrees could cause projector malfunction or shorten the lifetime of consumables.
►Other than raising the projector using the elevator feet, place the projector horizontally.
