3M X70, X80 WARNING

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.

About disposal of a lamp • This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put in

trash. Dispose of in accord with environmental laws.

For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org. (in USA)

For product disposal, contact your local government agency or www.eiae.org (in the

US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada).

For more information, call your dealer.

• 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

to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.

• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate

the room well, and make sure not to breathe the gas that comes out of

the projector vents, or get it in your eyes or mouth.

• Before replacing the lamp, make sure the power switch is off and the

power cable is not plugged in, 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.

• 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 door 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.

• Use only the lamp of the specified type 78-6969-9718-4for X70 / 78-

6969-9719-2for X80.

• 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.
