replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down. (Follow carefully the

draws to an end. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in which the
projector and lamp are being used.
IF A LAMP EXPLODES, THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN.
If a lamp explodes, disconnect the projector's AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an authorized
service station for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp. Additionally, check carefully to ensure
that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out from the cooling air
circulation holes. Any broken shards found should be cleaned up carefully. No one should check the inside of
the projector except those who are authorized trained technicians and who are familiar with projector service.
Inappropriate attempts to service the unit by anyone, especially those who are not appropriately trained to do
so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of broken glass.
