Replacing the lamp (continued)
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 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 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.
WARNING
• Please reset the lamp time only when you have replaced the lamp,
for a suitable indication about the lamp.
NOTE
• If the lamp should break (it will male a loud bang when it does), unplug the
power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp from
your 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 male 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 for at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufciently. Handling the
lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the lamp.
• Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screw.
• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from a ceiling
or somewhere over your head. 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 rmly. Loose screws could result in
damage or injury.
• Use only the lamp of the specied type.
• If the lamp breaks soon after the rst time it is used, it is possible that there
are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens, contact
your local dealer or 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.
