Lamp lifetime may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no guarantee of the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their lifetime in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
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.

Do not operate the lamp in proximity to paper, cloth, or other combustible material nor cover it with such materials. Otherwise it could cause a fire.
Do not operate the lamp in an atmosphere containing an inflammable substance, such as thinner. Otherwise it could cause a fire or explosion.
Thoroughly ventilate the area or the room when operating the lamp in an oxygen atmosphere (in the air). If ozone is inhaled, it could cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, etc.
The inorganic mercury is involved in the lamp. If the lamp bursts, the mercury inside the lamp will go out of the projector. Leave the area immediately if the lamp shatters while being operated and ventilate the area for at least 30 minutes in order to avoid the inhalation of mercury fumes. Otherwise it could be harmful to user’s health.
