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 it in a trash. Dispose of it in accordance 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, turn the projector off and unplug the power

cord, 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.
• 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 speciﬁed 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.

• 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.
