Replacing Lamp

WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE

The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with a loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time. Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury to escape from the projector’s vent holes.

		• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug
		the power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement
		lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards of glass could damage the
		projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling, so please do not try

		cord, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently. Handling
		the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the lamp.

•Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.

•Do not open the lamp door while the projector is suspended from above. This is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will fall out when the cover is opened. In addition, working in high places is dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have the lamp replaced even if the bulb is not broken.

•Do not use the projector with the lamp door removed. At the lamp replacing, make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.

•Use only the lamp of the specified type.

•If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens, contact your local dealer or a service representative.

•Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.

•If the indicators or a message prompts you to replace the lamp (see the section “Related Messages” and “Regarding the indicator Lamps”), replace the lamp as soon as possible. Using the lamp for long periods of time, or past the replacement date, could cause it to burst. Do not use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.

CAUTION

•To reduce the risk associated with the sharp metal fittings or broken glass inside the lamp compartment, which if not avoided may result in minor or moderate injury:

-Do not insert hand into the lamp compartment when the lamp has been removed.

-Use extreme care when removing lamp glass that has failed and shattered into sharp pieces.
