Canon X700 Lamp Handling Precautions, Carrying/Transporting the Projector, If a Lamp Explodes

Lamp Handling Precautions

zA lamp may explode with a loud sound or burn out due to a shock, scratch, or use beyond its expiry date.

zThe lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the usage environment. There is no guarantee that all lamps will last for the same period of time. Some lamps may fail in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.

zA lamp gradually becomes darker over time.

zIf the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced (i.e., the LAMP REPLACE indicator lights up twice), the chances of an explosion increase. Replace the lamp with a new one immediately if such is the case.
