•Do not remove the lamp except for replacement. Careless handling can cause injury or fire.

•Do not touch the lamp directly. It may break and cause injury or burn.

•Be sure not to drop the lamp lid screw into the projector. Also be sure not to put metal or any flammable objects inside because it may cause fire or electric shock. If any objects should fall inside, unplug and contact your dealer.
