Replacing the Lamp
zDisposing of the Lamp (U.S.A. Only)
This product utilizes a lamp containing mercury. Disposal of the lamp
may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or
recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the
Electronic Industries Alliance: http://www.eiae.org.
Caution
z During normal use, the lamp and the area around it become
extremely hot. Before replacing the lamp, turn off the projector
and wait for the cool down operation (indicated when the
POWER/STANDBY indicator is flashing amber) to finish. Next,
disconnect the AC power cord from the projector, and wait for at
least 60 minutes to allow it to cool down even further.
Touching the lamp or the area around it during operation or
immediately after turning off the projector creates the risk of
serious burn injury.
z Replace the lamp using the YL-40 optional lamp cartridge only.
z The projector uses a mercury lamp with high internal pressure
as its light source. A lamp that is weakened by impact, damage,
or expiration of its lamp life may explode or fail to light.
Note that the performance of the lamp differs greatly from lamp
to lamp, and due to conditions under which a lamp is used.
z Never touch the glass of the lamp with your fingers. Doing so
can cause the lamp to rupture and shorten its life.
z A broken lamp can cause glass fragments to be scattered inside
the lamp housing. Gas inside of the lamp housing may also be
discharged from the projector’s vent exhaust ports. Gas inside of
the lamp includes mercury, so be sure to ventilate the area
whenever the lamp breaks. Should you accidentally inhale gas
fumes or should gas fumes get into your eyes, immediately
contact a physician.
z Should the lamp break, take care to avoid personal injury on the
glass fragments. Never try to replace a broken lamp on your
own. Be sure to contract your original dealer or authorized
CASIO service center to request replacement.
z The lamp contains mercury. Dispose of old lamps in accordance
with the rules and regulations of your local jurisdiction.
