Important Safety Instructions
◗ The lamp is fragile, and can easily break. If the lamp breaks, handle the
projector with extreme care to avoid injury from broken glass, and
contact your dealer or see Where to Get Help
for repairs.
Particular care should be taken when the projector is installed to a
ceiling, as small pieces of glass may fall down when the lamp cover is
removed. Be very careful not to allow such pieces of glass to get into the
eyes or mouth.
◗ Material or paper may get stuck against the air filter underneath the
projector while it is in use. Remove anything from underneath the
projector that might get stuck against the air filter in this way.
◗ Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use.
◗ Doing so will result in serious burns. Before removing the lamp, turn off
the power supply and wait the time specified in the User’s Guide to allow
the lamp to cool completely.
◗ A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the projector's
light source. Mercury lamps may make a loud noise when they break.
Handle the lamp with extreme care while observing the following.
◗ If the following points are not observed, injury or poisoning may result.
◗ Do not damage the lamp or subject it to any impacts.
◗ Do not use the lamp after the lamp replacement period has elapsed.
Once the lamp replacement period has elapsed, the possibility of the
lamp breaking becomes greater. When the lamp replacement message
appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible.
◗ The gases inside mercury lamps contain mercury vapor. If the lamp
breaks, immediately ventilate the room to prevent the gases that are
released when the lamp breaks from being inhaled or coming into
contact with the eyes or mouth.
◗ Do not bring your face close to the projector while it is in use, in order to
prevent the gases that are released when the lamp breaks from being
inhaled or coming into contact with the eyes or mouth.
◗ If the lamp breaks and needs to be replaced with a new lamp, contact
the place of purchase or see Where to Get Help
for information on
replacement. If the lamp breaks, pieces of broken glass may get
scattered around inside the projector.
◗ Particular care should be taken when the projector is installed to a
ceiling, as small pieces of glass may fall down when the lamp cover is
removed. If cleaning the projector or replacing the lamp yourself, be very
careful not to allow such pieces of glass to get into the eyes or mouth.
If the lamp breaks and gas from the lamp or fragments of broken glass
are inhaled or get into the eyes or mouth, or if any other ill effects are
noticed, immediately seek medical advice.
◗ If there is an electrical storm, do not touch the power plug, otherwise
you may receive an electric shock.
◗ Clean the inside of the projector periodically.
◗ If the inside of the projector has not been cleaned for a long time, dust
may build up and cause fire or electric shocks. Contact your dealer or
Authorized EPSON Service Center to clean inside the projector at least
once a year. A charge will be levied for this service.
◗ If using a remote control that takes button-type batteries, keep these
button-type batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries are choking
hazards and can be very dangerous if swallowed.
◗ If the batteries are swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately.
