Replacing the Lamp
Caution
zDuring normal use, the lamp and the area around it become extremely hot. Before replacing the lamp, turn off the projector and wait for the cool down operation (indicated when the POWER/STANDBY indicator is flashing amber) to finish. Next, disconnect the AC power cord from the projector, and wait for at least 60 minutes to allow it to cool down even further.
Touching the lamp or the area around it during operation or immediately after turning off the projector creates the risk of serious burn injury.
zReplace the lamp using the
zA mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the light source. A lamp that is weakened by impact, damage, or expiration of its lamp life may explode or fail to light if exposed to loud noise. Note that lamp life differs greatly from lamp to lamp, and is affected by conditions under which the lamp is used.
zNever touch the glass of the lamp with your fingers. Doing so can cause the lamp to rupture and shorten its life.
zA broken lamp can cause glass fragments to be scattered inside the lamp housing. Gas inside of the lamp housing may also be discharged from the projector’s vent exhaust ports. Gas inside of the lamp includes mercury, so be sure to ventilate the area whenever the lamp breaks. Should you accidentally inhale gas fumes or should gas fumes get into your eyes, immediately contact a physician.
zShould the lamp break, take care to avoid personal injury on the glass fragments. Never try to replace a broken lamp on your own. Contact InFocus service (www.infocus.com/service) to request a replacement.
