About Lamp

The product’s light source is a mercury lamp that lights at increased internal pressure. Be sure to fully understand the following character- istics of the lamp and handle it with extreme care.

The lamp may burst with a loud noise due to impact or deteriora- tion, or fail to light at the expiration of its life.

How long it takes before the lamp bursts or the life expires may vary greatly by lamp.

Some may burst shortly after fi rst use.

Burst is likely to happen if the lamp is used after the replacement period has elapsed.

When the lamp bursts, the broken pieces of glass may get inside the product or be released outside from the openings for ventilation.

When the lamp bursts, a slight amount of mercury gas enclosed in the lamp along with glass dust may be released from the openings for ventilation.

Immediately replace the lamp when a sign ap- pears on the screen.

When the replacement time approaches, a message will appear on the screen.

The risk of burst will increase if the lamp is continuously used with- out being replaced.

Frequently check the used hours and prepare spares when the replacement time approaches.

When the lamp is broken

If glass components, including a lamp and a lens, should break, handle the broken pieces with care to avoid injury and contact your dealer for repair service.

In the event of lamp burst, unplug the product from the wall outlet, leave and completely ventilate the room. Then, thoroughly clean the area around the projector and discardany edible items placed in that area.

When the lamp bursts, consult a doctor if glass dust or mercury gas gets into your eyes or you breathe it.
