JJNotes on the replacement of the lamp unit
zzThe luminous source of the lamp is made of glass and may burst if you hit it against a hard surface or drop it.
Please handle with care.
zzA Phillips screwdriver is required for replacement of the lamp unit. zzWhen replacing the lamp unit, be sure to hold it by the handle. zzWhen replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating,
there is a possibility that the lamp may be broken. If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed on the ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken, and you should stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath it. Remove the lamp cover gently. Small pieces of glass may fall out when
the lamp cover is opened. If pieces of glass get into your eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately. zzThe lamp contains mercury. Consult your local municipality or your dealer about correct disposal of used
lamp units.
Attention
zzDo not use other than designated lamp units.
zzThe part numbers of accessories and separately sold components are subject to change without notice.
JJWhen to replace the lamp unit
The lamp unit is a consumable component. Brightness decreases according to duration of usage, so periodical replacement of the lamp unit is necessary.
When the projection lamp of the projector reaches its end of life, the Lamp replacement icon appears on the screen and <LAMP> indicator lights orange. Replace the lamp with a new one promptly.
