CAUTIONS

•If the projector is set up in a limited place which is unsuitable for work, and if you perform replacement work there, this could cause injury. Move the projector to a place large enough for work, and then replace the light-source lamp.

•Use a genuine product for the light-source lamp. If you use other than a genuine product, this could cause a malfunction. Also, never use an old light-source lamp. This could cause marked degradation in performance or the lamp could even explode, possibly damaging the projector and/or injurying the operator.

•Do not replace the light-source lamp immediately after the projector has been used. The temperature of the light-source lamp is still high and could cause a burn. Allow a cooling period of one hour or more before performing replacement.

•Before starting light-source lamp replacement work, turn off the MAIN POWER switch, and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. If you perform the replacement work with the power cord connected, this could cause injury or electric shock.

•The light-source lamp used in this projector is a high pressure xenon lamp. Be careful when disposing of the light-source lamp. If anything is unclear, please consult your dealer.
