Replacing Lamp
CAUTION
• To reduce the risk associated with the sharp metal fittings or broken glass
inside the lamp compartment, which if not avoided may result in minor or
moderate injury:
- Do not insert hand into the lamp compartment when the lamp has been removed.
- Use extreme care when removing lamp glass that has failed and shattered into
sharp pieces.
ENGLISH
HIGH VOLTAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE
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 fly into
the lamp housing, and for
gas containing mercury to escape from the projector’s vent
holes.
• 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 door 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 door 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.
• 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.
