Appendix C: Lamp Cartridge Replacement

CAUTION

BURN DANGER!

During normal operation, the surfaces inside

the TV near the lamp are extremely hot.

TOUCH THE LAMP CARTRIDGE BY THE HANDLE ONLY

Do not touch the glass parts of the lamp cartridge.

CAUTION: If the television is on, press POWER to turn it off. Unplug the television and allow it to cool for at least one hour before attempting to replace the lamp cartridge.

Lamp Life

The light source for this television is a lamp, which is part of a lamp cartridge assembly. The life of the lamp can vary, based on the lamp itself, the air temperature around the TV while it is operating, and your viewing patterns. Warmer air or poor ventilation shorten the lamp life, as does turning the television on and off frequently. Mitsubishi warrants the lamp for one (1) year from the date of original purchase at retail. It is likely that the lamp will last much longer than this.

WARNING

Do not remove the lamp cartridge immediately after turning off the television. You may get burned because the lamp is very hot. Allow the television to cool for at least one hour before replacing the lamp cartridge.

Do not remove the lamp cartridge except when replacing it. Careless treatment can result in injury or fire.

Do not touch the lamp glass element. It may be very hot and break, causing injuries or burns.

Be sure not to insert any metal or flammable object into the lamp cartridge opening, as it may cause fire or electri- cal shock. If a foreign object is inserted into the opening, unplug the AC cord of the TV and contact your dealer for service.

Install the lamp cartridge securely. Failure to do so may cause a fire.

Do not touch the lamp glass elements. Oils from your fingers may cause premature lamp failure.
