Appendix B: Notices 65
■A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the projector’s
light source. Mercury lamps may make a loud no ise when they break. To
avoid injury or poisoning, handle the lamp with extreme care while
observing the following:
��Do not damage the lamp or subject it to any impacts.
■Do not use the lamp after the lamp replacement period has elapsed,
as the possibility of breaking the lamp increases. Replace the lamp
with a new one as soon as possible after receiving the lamp
replacement message.
■The gases inside mercury lamps contain mercury vapor which is
released when the lamps break. If the lamp breaks, immediately
ventilate the room to prevent the gases 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.
■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 attention.
■Please consult your state and local r egulations regarding proper
disposal of the lamp and do not place in a waste stream.
