About lamp
The product’s light source is a mercury lamp that lights at increased internal pressure. Be sure to fully
understand the following characteristics of the lamp and handle it with extreme care.
• The lamp may burst with a loud noise due to impact or deterioration, or fail to light at the expiration
of its life.
• How long it takes before the lamp bursts or the life expires may vary greatly by lamp. Some may
explode shortly after first use.
• Burst is likely to happen if the lamp is used after the replacement period has elapsed.
• When the lamp bursts, the broken pieces of glass may get inside the product or be released
outside from the openings for ventilation.
• When the lamp bursts, a slight amount of mercury gas enclosed in the lamp along with glass dust
may be released from the openings for ventilation.
Q Immediately replace the lamp when a sign appears on the screen.
• When the replacement time approaches, a message will appear on the screen.
• The risk of explosion will increase if the lamp is continuously used without being replaced.
• Frequently check the used hours and prepare spares when the replacement time approaches.
(Refer to “Lamp Time” on . )
Q When the lamp is broken
• If glass components, including a lamp and a lens, should break, handle the broken pieces with care
to avoid injury and contact your dealer for repair service.
• In the event of lamp burst, unplug the product from the wall outlet, leave and completely ventilate
the room. Then, thoroughly clean the area around the projector and discard any edible items
placed in that area.
• When the lamp bursts, consult a doctor if glass dust or mercury gas gets into your eyes or you
breathe it.
Replacing the lamp
CAUTION: HOT SURFACE! The lamp may be very hot after use. Before replacing the lamp,
turn off the projector, unplug the power cord, and allow the projector to cool for at least 45
minutes.
The lamp unit contains mercury. Disposal of mercury may be regulated due to environmental
considerations. Dispose of the used lamp unit by the approved method for your area. Contact your local
authorities or www.eiae.org.
A lamp is consumable supplies. If used for extended periods, images will appear dark, and the lamp
could burn out. This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not malfunction. (The lifetime of the lamp
depends on condition of use.) If this happens, replace it with a new one.
1. Turn off the power and unplug the power cord. Turn off all connected devices and disconnect all
other cables.
