Eiki EIP-1600T owner manual Regarding the Lamp, Caution Concerning the Lamp, Replacing the Lamp

Regarding the Lamp

Lamp

■It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced when the remaining lamp life becomes 5% or less, or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and color quality. The lamp life (percentage) can be checked with the on-screen display. (see page 49)

■Purchase a replacement lamp of type AH-11201 from your place of purchase, nearest EIKI Authorized Dealer or Service Center.

Caution Concerning the Lamp

■This projector utilizes a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp failure can be attributed to numerous sources such as: excessive shock, improper cooling, surface scratches or deterioration of the lamp due to a lapse of usage time.

The period of time up to failure largely varies depending on the individual lamp and/or the condition and the frequency of use. It is important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking.

■When the lamp replacement indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated, it is recommended that the lamp be replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating normally.

■Should the lamp break, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside of the projector. In such a case, it is recommended you contact your nearest EIKI Authorized Dealer or Service Center to assure safe operation.

■Should the lamp break, the glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage or gas contained in the lamp may be vented into the room from the exhaust vent. Because the gas in this lamp includes mercury, ventilate the room well if the lamp breaks and avoid all exposure to the released gas. In case of exposure to the gas, consult a doctor as soon as possible.

Replacing the Lamp

•Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may cause burn or injury.

■Carefully change the lamp by following the instructions described in this section. * If you wish, you may have the lamp replaced at your nearest EIKI Authorized Dealer or Service Center.

*If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest EIKI Authorized Dealer or Service Center for repair.
