WARNING

•Do not remove any screws (such as the black screws) other than those indicated when replacing the lamp unit. If this is not observed, electric shocks, burns or other injuries may occur.

•Be careful when handling a light source lamp. The lamp unit has high internal pressure. If improperly handled, failure might result.

•A used lamp unit may burst if it is handled violently. For disposition of used lamps, request an industrial waste disposal contractor.

•If you continue to use a lamp after the replacement time, the lamp may break.

Rating: 300 W

• Other lamps than specified above cannot be used. Be sure to use the specified lamp.

Timing of lamp unit replacement

The lamp used for the light source has its due life. The life of light source lamp used in the main unit is

2 000 hours. However, it may happen that the lamp becomes dead (will not light) by the time of 2 000 hours depending on the characteristics of individual lamps and working conditions (lamps may reduce their life affected by the times of lighting and the intervals between previous lighting and next lighting). Therefore, it is strongly recommended for the user to keep a spare bulb.

If a lamp unit has not been replaced after 2 000 hours of operation have elapsed, the lamp will turn off automatically. When the operating time for all of the lamps reaches 2 000 hours or more, the power will turn off automatically approximately 10 minutes after it is turned on, and the projector will switch to standby mode.

Attention

• Clean and replace the air filter when replacing the lamp units. (pp. 110-111)
