Maintenance and Cleaning
This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and
properly.
Improper handling may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.
Lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use.
There is no guarantee of the same life for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or
terminate their life in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if the LAMP
REPLACE indicator lights up, replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after
the projector has cooled down.
(Follow carefully the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual.)
Continuous use of the lamp with the LAMP REPLACE indicator lighted may
increase the risk of lamp explosion.
A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of
hours of use as its lifetime draws to an end. Risk of explosion may differ according
to the environment or conditions in which the projector and lamp are being used.
If a lamp explodes, disconnect the projector’s AC plug from the AC outlet immediately.
Contact an authorized service center for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the
lamp. Additionally, check carefully to ensure that there are no broken shards or pieces
of glass around the projector or coming out from the cooling air circulation holes. Any
broken shards found should be cleaned up carefully. No one should check the inside of
the projector except those who are authorized trained technicians and who are familiar
with projector service. Inappropriate attempts to service the unit by anyone, especially
those who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury
caused by pieces of broken glass.
Replacement lamp can be ordered through your dealer. When ordering a projection lamp, give
the following information to the dealer.
