The internal projector components consist of many glass parts such as the
lens and projection lamp.
The lamp is fragile, and can easily break. If the lamp breaks, handle the projector
with extreme care to avoid injury from broken glass, and contact your dealer or
the nearest address provided on page 13 for repairs.
Particular care should be taken when the projector is installed to a ceiling, as
small pieces of glass may fall down when the lamp cover is removed. Be very
careful not to allow such pieces of glass to get into the eyes or mouth.
Material or paper may get stuck against the air filter underneath the projector
while it is in use. Remove anything from underneath the projector that might
get stuck against the air filter in this way.
Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use.
Doing so will result in serious burns. Before removing the lamp, turn off the
power supply and wait the time specified in the User’s Guide to allow the lamp to
cool completely.
A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the projector's light
source. Mercury lamps may make a loud noise when they break. Handle the
lamp with extreme care while observing the following.
If the following points are not observed, injury or poisoning may result.
• Do not damage the lamp or subject it to any impacts.
• Do not use the lamp after the lamp replacement period has elapsed. Once the
lamp replacement period has elapsed, the possibility of the lamp breaking
becomes greater. When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the
lamp with a new one as soon as possible.
• The gases inside mercury lamps contain mercury vapor. If the lamp breaks,
immediately ventilate the room to prevent the gases that are released when the
lamp breaks from being inhaled or coming into contact with the eyes or mouth.
• Do not bring your face close to the projector while it is in use, in order to
prevent the gases that are released when the lamp breaks from being inhaled or
coming into contact with the eyes or mouth.
• If the lamp breaks and needs to be replace with a new lamp, contact the place of
purchase or the nearest address provid ed on page 13 to carry out the
replacement. If the lamp breaks, pieces of broken glass may get scattered
around inside the projector.
• Particular care should be taken when the projector is installed to a ceiling, as
small pieces of glass may fall down when the lamp cover is removed. If
cleaning the projector or replacing the lamp yourself, be very careful not to
allow such pieces of glass to get into the eyes or mouth.
If the lamp breaks and gas from the lamp or fragments of broken glass are
inhaled or get into the eyes or mouth, or if any other ill effects are noticed,
immediately seek medical advice.
