CAUTION
When replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating, there is a possibility that the lamp may be broken.
If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed on the ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken, and you should stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath it. Remove the lamp cover gently. Small pieces of glass may fall out when the lamp cover is opened.
If pieces of glass get into your eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.
CAUTION
Allow a projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before you open the lamp cover. The inside of the projector can become very hot.
