Lamp-Substitution Alert

MEVSA recommends that you use only genuine Replacement Lamp Assemblies purchased directly from Mitsubishi or a Mitsubishi Authorized Dealer or Mitsubishi Authorized Service Center. MEVSA advises that replacement lamps obtained separately from the Lamp Cartridge and/or Lamp Assemblies obtained from unauthorized sellers may be incorrect for your television, may not fit or perform properly and may even damage your television. MEVSA can not be responsible for the performance, reliability or safety of any replacement lamps that are obtained from unauthorized sources.

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 electrical 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.
