Viewsonic PJ1172 Manual De Usuario

 

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.

Disconnect 

the plug from 

the power 

outlet

• 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 

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 only the lamp of the specified type RLC-006.
• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that there 

are electrical problems else where 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.
