INFORMATION AND WARNING ABOUT POTENTIAL HEALTH ISSUES RELATED TO MERCURY VAPOR

This projector is using an extremely bright UHP™ lamp for illumination to attain the desired high brightness image.

This technology is similar to other high-pressure discharge lamps that are extensively used in cars, street lights and other lighting appliances today. These lamps, like fluorescent lighting, contain small amounts of mercury. The amount of mercury present in a lamp is far below the limits of danger set by the authorities.

It is very important that lamps containing mercury are treated properly to minimize potential health hazards.

The UHP™ lamp, like any other high brightness projector lamp, is under high-pressure when operating. While the lamp and the projector are carefully designed to minimize the probability of lamp rupture, the lamp may break while operating and small amounts of mercury vapor may be emitted from the projector. The probability of rupture increases when the lamp reaches its nominal life. It is therefore highly recommended that the lamp is replaced when the rated lifetime is reached.

As a general precaution, secure good ventilation in the room when operating the projector. If lamp rupture occurs, evacuate the room and secure good ventilation. Children and pregnant women in particular should leave the room.

When replacing a worn lamp, dispose of the used lamp carefully by proper recycling.

Mercury is a naturally occurring, stable metallic element that may pose a safety risk to people under certain conditions. According to the Public Health Statement for Mercury published by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry ("ATSDR", part of the United States Public Health Service), the brain, central nervous system and kidneys are sensitive to the effects of mercury, and permanent damage can occur at sufficiently high levels of exposure. Acute exposure to high concentrations of mercury vapor can cause conditions such as lung and airway irritation, tightness in the chest, a burning
